What does the meat grinder consist of?

Before assembling a meat grinder, you need to understand what it consists of. The main parts of the manual mincers are:

• body with a socket for the laying of meat;
• shaft-screw is a mechanism that moves the loaded feed to the outlet;
• is a cruciform, propeller-like knife that grinds everything that gets into the meat receptacle;
• round grille with holes, the diameter of holes depends on the quality of grinding - the consistency of minced meat;
• latch-latch, which holds a knife and a grate on the shaft;
• handle with screw for fixing.

Important! If the device is electric, it may not have a handle. The remaining parts of the mechanism are universal.

The grinder may include different types of gratings and knives, but this does not affect the order of assembly and disassembly of the device. The main difficulty in assembling the unit is to install the knife correctly. In order to understand how to install it, you need to collect the meat grinder and prepare to work.

How to assemble the manual grinder:

1. Install the screw shaft into the housing. This part has a thickening on one side. It is this part that should be outside, since the handle with the fixing screw is fixed on this side. If you pre-lubricate the auger with vegetable oil, then the clutch of all other parts of the mechanism will be better, so the work - better.
2. Put the handle on the thickened end of the shaft and secure it with a lock.
3. On the thin end of the screw, put the knife: the convex side into the body, and the flat one - outward. If you install the knife incorrectly, the meat grinder will not cut the meat, but crush it. If the device is equipped with a disk knife, then installing it should not cause difficulties. Cutting edges of the disc knife are clearly visible and naturally, should look outward.

Important! Use the knife only one that comes with your mincer, as not all knives are universal and interchangeable.

1. To the auger, fix the grille in such a way that the saw on the grate is aligned with the protrusion on the body.
2. Fix the entire structure with a latch, screwing it onto the thread around the grate. Grate after fixing the lid should be fixed.
3. Fasten the assembled unit to the table and the unit is ready for operation.

Important! Most housewives store the meat grinder in assembled form, so that before work simply fix it on the table top. But after you have successfully grinded the meat, all the details need to be washed separately, dried, and then properly to collect the meat grinder back. Wash the assembled device is impossible, since the remains of unrefined minced meat will begin to deteriorate, which means that the machine will have to be washed anyway, but now it's more thorough.
