The Omcan 41419 Meat Grinder
The Omcan MG-IT-0012 is a moderate-duty cast iron meat grinder with a #12 grinding head, a #12 moderate-duty grinder with 0.6 HP (440W) running at 100 RPM. The #12 head handles steady throughput for a deli, butcher counter, or restaurant that grinds 10 to 20 pounds per shift. The lower RPM compared to the #8 produces less heat friction during grinding, which keeps the meat cooler and preserves texture for better patties and sausage mixes.
Cast Iron Construction with #12 Grinding Head
The grinder body and head are cast iron, a material that absorbs vibration and resists flex under load better than stamped steel or aluminum alternatives. When you are pushing meat through the auger for extended periods, a rigid body means consistent grind texture rather than the wobble and uneven results you get from lighter materials. The approximately 2-inch throat opening accepts standard cuts for the #12 head size. Cast iron also holds cold temperature well, which helps keep meat below the 40-degree threshold during grinding, an important food safety consideration when processing raw proteins.
440W Motor at 100 RPM
The 0.6 HP motor turns the auger at 100 RPM, a speed that moves meat through the cutting plate efficiently without generating excessive friction heat. Overheated meat smears instead of grinding cleanly, which ruins the texture of burger patties and makes sausage mixes gummy rather than having the distinct fat-to-lean structure that produces a juicy finished product. The motor runs on standard 110V single-phase power, so there is no special wiring required. At 440W, it draws reasonable current for its output, keeping energy costs manageable even during extended grinding sessions.
