Weston Butcher Series
The Weston #8 Butcher series meat grinder is a solid unit ideal for processing wild game, venison, and other meats while doubling as a sausage stuffer. It is powered by a ½ HP motor to ensure fast and efficient processing of large quantities of wild and domestic meat. It is designed to grind between four to six pounds of meat per minute so quickly processing large volumes is exceptional and easy.
The addition of the sausage stuffing funnels makes the Weston meat grinder a great value for the money because you are not restricted to using the ground meat for hamburgers only. You get to choose between three different sizes of sausage, too.
The motor is permanently lubricated for long-term performance and air-cooled, so safe use is assured. As you would expect from a commercial grinder designed for processing large quantities, the hopper is larger than usual to facilitate large-quantity processing.
