Omcan #32 Stainless Steel Manual Meat Grinder

A #32 grinder is a larger-bore industrial size, capable of processing larger meat chunks and higher volumes per hour than smaller #5, #12, or #22 grinders. The Omcan #32 Stainless Steel Manual Meat Grinder is sized for butcher shops, custom processors, and game-processing operations.

Manual grinders work well for low-volume custom orders, specialty grinds, or backup when an electric grinder is down for service. The Omcan #32 Stainless Steel Manual Meat Grinder doesn't need electrical service, making it useful in mobile butcher and field-processing operations.

Stainless resists corrosion from meat juices, salt, and acidic marinades that would rust carbon steel quickly. The Omcan #32 Stainless Steel Manual Meat Grinder also handles repeated sanitizing chemistry without surface degradation, which matters for food-safety compliance.

Output depends on the plate installed. Standard plates run 3 mm (fine), 5 mm (medium), and 8 mm (coarse). Coarser plates (10 mm or 12 mm) are common for chili-grind preparations or first-pass coarse grinding before a finer second pass.

Yes, a manual grinder still presents real hazards: * Always use the food pusher; never hands inside the hopper * Keep fingers clear of the cutting plate and knife * Disassemble and clean immediately after each use to prevent bacterial growth * Wear cut-resistant gloves when handling the cutting plate or knife

Disassemble fully, hand wash all parts (especially the spiral worm and cutting plate) with warm soapy water, sanitize with a food-grade sanitizer, dry fully, and reassemble for storage. Never leave residual meat sitting in the grinder.

The grinder pairs with a meat saw, vacuum sealer, knife set, and dedicated butcher block. Browse Zanduco's butcher equipment and supplies section to round out a complete custom-cutting operation.
