Omcan MG-CN-0008-E #8 Stainless Steel Meat Grinder, 300W, 240-260 lbs/hr, Gear-Driven

SKU47777 BrandOmcan

The Omcan 47777 Meat Grinder

The Omcan MG-CN-0008-E is a #8 stainless steel meat grinder that processes 240 to 260 pounds of meat per hour, built for butcher shops, food stores, and restaurants that grind fresh meat in-house. The 0.4 HP (300W) gear-driven motor delivers steady torque through metal gears with roller bearings, which run quieter and last longer than plastic gears found in lighter-duty units. The improved auger design grabs more meat per revolution and reduces the jams and clogs that slow down production during busy grinding sessions.

Stainless Steel Accessories with Dual Cutting Plates

The knife, head ring, auger, and meat pan are all stainless steel, so the parts that contact food resist corrosion and clean up easily between different meat types. Two stainless steel cutting plates are included: a 0.18 in. plate for fine grinding (burger patties, sausage filling) and a 0.39 in. plate for coarse grinding (chili meat, meatloaf). Having both plates in the box means you can switch between grinds without purchasing additional accessories. A stuffing tube and meat stomper are also included, so you can use the grinder for basic sausage stuffing as well.

Built-In Circuit Breaker and Compact Design

A built-in circuit breaker protects the motor if a bone fragment or sinew creates an overload condition, which prevents motor burnout and expensive repairs. The permanently lubricated motor uses an improved grease formulation that reduces operating noise, a practical benefit in open kitchens and front-of-house butcher counters where customers can hear the equipment. The 10 x 6.89 inch stainless steel meat tray provides a generous staging area for loading meat, and a head-locking knob secures the grinding head in place during operation. Non-slip rubber feet keep the 17.6-pound unit stable on the counter at 180 RPM. Running on a standard 120V/60Hz circuit, it plugs in anywhere.

    The Omcan 47777 Meat Grinder

    About Meat Grinders

    A commercial meat grinder cuts whole or trimmed muscle into ground meat. It forces meat through a rotating worm screw and cutting plate. Butcher shops, sausage producers, delis, and food processors use them to produce ground beef, pork, chicken, sausage filling, and burger blends. It is also called a commercial meat grinder machine, electric meat grinder, industrial meat grinder, or commercial meat mincer.

    The right commercial meat grinder depends on three things: daily output volume, plate size, and motor horsepower. Plate size is measured by hub number. The smallest at #8 handles around 150 to 260 pounds per hour. The largest at #42 handles over 1,300 pounds per hour. Light-duty units handle low-volume grinding. Moderate-duty units cover mid-volume daily production. Heavy-duty units run continuous shifts in butcher shops and processors.

    Every grinder in this collection is built for daily commercial use with stainless steel, cast iron, or aluminum construction. Common configurations, buying guidance, and frequent buyer questions follow below.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Light-duty meat grinder: #8 or #12 plate size, smaller motors from 370W to around 1 HP. Suited to delis and restaurants grinding short runs of 200 pounds per day or less.
    • Moderate-duty meat grinder: #12 or #22 plate size, motors from 1 HP to 1.5 HP. Covers mid-volume butcher shops and restaurants grinding 200 to 500 pounds per day.
    • Heavy-duty meat grinder: #22, #32, or #42 plate size, motors from 1.5 HP through 7 HP. Built for high-volume butcher shops, sausage producers, and food processors running continuous shifts.
    • Bench and countertop grinder: Sits on a worktop or dedicated bench. Compact format for delis and back-of-house prep where floor space is limited.
    • Floor model meat grinder: Larger commercial unit on a dedicated floor station. Higher output capacity and stronger drive train for all-day production.
    • Mixer-grinder combination unit: Grinds and mixes in one machine. Suited to operations that produce seasoned ground product or sausage and want to consolidate stations.
    • Gear-driven vs belt-driven: Gear-driven units deliver higher torque for dense product. Belt-driven units run quieter and absorb shock loads.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Daily output volume: Match capacity to peak shifts. Our catalog runs from 150 pounds per hour up to 1,320 pounds per hour. Size for your busiest day.
    • Plate size (#8 to #42): The hub number sets the plate diameter and throat size. A #8 plate handles small runs. A #12 or #22 plate covers mid-volume operations. A #32 or #42 plate is heavy commercial.
    • Motor horsepower: Catalog motors range from 370W through 7 HP. Light deli work suits 1/2 HP to 1 HP. Heavy production needs 1.5 HP through 3 HP.
    • Bench vs floor model: Bench units cost less and fit existing counter space. Floor models handle higher volume on a dedicated base under heavy load.
    • Gear-drive vs belt-drive: Gear-driven units deliver more torque for dense product and frozen trim. Belt-driven units run quieter and protect the motor.
    • Safety features: Look for an interlocked feed pan, a properly-sized feed throat, and a reverse switch to clear jams. Confirm NSF or equivalent foodservice standards.
    • Cleaning access: Removable worm, plate, and knife matter for daily sanitation. Stainless steel food-contact surfaces are the foodservice standard.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the different types of commercial meat grinders?

    Commercial meat grinders come in three duty levels. Light-duty handles low-volume runs with #8 or #12 plates and smaller motors. Moderate-duty covers mid-volume daily production with #12 or #22 plates and 1 to 1.5 HP. Heavy-duty runs continuous high-volume shifts with #22, #32, or #42 plates and 1.5 HP up through 7 HP. Bench and countertop formats fit smaller spaces. Floor models handle the highest output. Mixer-grinder combinations grind and mix in one machine for sausage and seasoned product workflows.

    How do I choose the right size commercial meat grinder?

    Match plate size and motor horsepower to your peak daily output. Low-volume delis grinding under 200 pounds per day suit a #8 or #12 plate with a 1/2 to 1 HP motor. Mid-volume butcher shops grinding 200 to 500 pounds per day need a #22 plate with 1 to 1.5 HP. High-volume processors grinding 500 pounds or more need a #32 or #42 plate with 1.5 HP through 7 HP. For frozen trim or dense product, choose gear-driven for higher torque.

    How do you maintain a commercial meat grinder?

    Daily maintenance keeps a commercial meat grinder running and meets health code. After each use: power off, disassemble the head, then remove the worm, plate, and knife. Wash all removable parts with hot soapy water, rinse, sanitize, and air-dry. Wipe down the motor housing without submerging it. Lubricate moving parts per the schedule. Sharpen or replace the knife and plate when quality drops. Always follow the manufacturer's specific cleaning and maintenance procedure and use food-safe sanitizers approved for grinder contact surfaces.
