I just acquired an Enterprise meat grinder today.  A great snag for the price with V belt pulley.  This thing has been laying collecting gunge, some rust, and nastiness.  So I plan on hitting most of it lightly with a wire wheel.

What do you recommend for a protective coating after clean up.  It would be nice to spray some type of oil (vegetable) on iit and hit that with the air gun.

What would be your suggestion.  Oh and how to clean up the plates with holes in them?  thanx

if it is mostly CRUD... I would spray with oven cleaner, let it set for 30 minutes, then wash off with soap and water and scrub brush... For the rust, i would use the sand blaster.. without that, the wire brush sounds good...

i have never tried this stuff, but many brag about it...

I would avoid harsh chemicals if at all possible when removing the gunk and rust. Also avoid vegetable oil, that could be the cause of your gunk. You might have to use a drill bit that is just under the size of the holes in the plate to get the gunk out of it. Keep in mind that the side of the plate that contacts the knife perfectly flat and square to work properly. I wash all of my grinder parts with hot soapy water immediately after use, dry everything and then spray everything with food grade silicone based lubricant. If you store it disassembled wrap the knife and plate(s) in a cloth saturated with the spray and place in a ziplock bag. When you reassemble use some food grade grease as needed. M

I would avoid oven cleaner as some of the parts may be aluminum and they could become discolored. I would opt for a wash down with a pressure washer with substantial heat and probably wouldn’t need soap or if did use dawn dish soap. Never done one but this is my simple go to for cleaning things like my gas grill

thanks for the infp folks.  Hubert, you covered all the bases.

Maybe after it thaws out a bit, she will be brought back into service for the next round of venison,  Big smile
