It fills in two positions, standing upright for liquid mixtures or laid horizontal for drier mixtures. Wind the piston rack up out of the cylinder, fill it, fit one of the four included funnels, and you are filling casings at the prep table with no power connection anywhere in sight. It stands 31.1 inches tall, so check the clearance under any wall shelving above your bench; the bench itself should be smooth, dry and strong, about 31 inches off the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo-Speed Gear Drive, Vertical and Horizontal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hand crank turns one of two pins on the gear housing: a slow forward pin that drives the toothed rack and piston pad down the cylinder while you stuff, and a fast backward pin that winds the rack back up for a refill. The fast gear is for raising the piston, not for forcing the last of the meat through, which can damage the piston. The machine arrives set up for vertical use, with the corner junction, an elbow fitting at the outlet of the cylinder, installed and the plain ring nut holding the funnel for liquid mixtures. For horizontal work with drier mixtures the corner junction and its gasket come off and the slotted ring nut holds the funnel directly on the cylinder; its slots work with the teeth on the funnels to push air out at the front of the filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFour Stuffing Funnels Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrento supplies four plastic stuffing funnels in 15, 23, 28 and 38 mm diameters. A funnel mounts at the cylinder outlet under a threaded aluminum ring nut; unscrew the nut, set the funnel, and tighten it to lock. The machine ships partially disassembled, so fitting the first funnel and winding the rack out are the setup steps before the first fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUpright Stainless Steel Cylinder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7 L cylinder is stainless steel and stands upright, with the piston seal a tight fit inside it. When only a part load is left at the end of a run, the mixture goes in at the mouth of the cylinder and the rack pushes it forward until the air exits through the filler rather than into the casing. The vertical layout keeps the bench footprint to 12.2 inches wide by 15.7 inches deep, at 33.5 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStainless Steel Sides\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe side panels are stainless steel, like the cylinder, and the ring nut that holds the funnel is aluminum. The machine sits on rubber feet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNo Cord, No Outlet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the drive is entirely manual there is nothing to plug in. At the end of work the rack pulls out, the ring nut unscrews, and the funnel and cylinder come off, so every part that touched meat can be washed and thoroughly dried.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omcan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67756234473757,"sku":"48168","price":652.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/88346_omcan_48168_1.jpg?v=1791907733","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/omcan-48168-15-4-lb-vertical-manual-sausage-stuffer-two-speed-gear-drive-stainless-steel-sides","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
