The jump to 1.25 HP means you can push larger volumes of meat through the head without the motor straining, making this the right choice for busy butcher shops, restaurant groups, and catering operations that grind 20 to 50 pounds per shift. The #22 head accepts larger chunks, so you spend less time pre-cutting before grinding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCast Iron Construction with #22 Grinding Head\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 #22 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e1.25 HP Motor at 100 RPM\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1.25 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 920W, it draws reasonable current for its output, keeping energy costs manageable even during extended grinding sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omcan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51267210281245,"sku":"41421","price":954.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/48190_35a9bc1b-29ce-46e1-a18d-5b934a105905.jpg?v=1778414519","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/omcan-mg-it-0022-22-moderate-duty-meat-grinder-1-25-hp-cast-iron-100-rpm","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
