 Topic: V Belt pulley for my hand crank meat grinder?
Posted: 28 Jan 2025 at 3:23pm |
My meat grinder is a Universal #333. Has made in America on the side of it. I been searching for a V belt pulley around 10 to 12 inches in diameter that would fit on the auger instead of the crank. Any experience or leads to a source for this model? thanx

i am wondering if something like this might fit ? would have to know the shaft / bore size... might be worth calling them........... i suppose you could buy a generic pulley... but adapting to the shaft / machining the hole would be the big problem.

LOVE this disclaimer.... Designed for Chop-rite Brand but will fit other
grinders.*Potentially dangerous when added to Meat grinders. Can cause amputation,
possibly death!*
hay I was curious... 1st I'd buy 2 ,3 spare #333 units !!, seen some for $15 !
Use one of those cranks, and modify for a pulley, though I'd look into using a 'lovejoy' coupling and THEN the pulley reduction system. Big deal is to decide what RPM the crank needs to spin at THEN work backwards on the drivetrain.

I think Steve might have the answer. With some more checking I will probably order one foe the #10/12. My searching indicates the ideal grinder auger speed is 300. Am gonna install a jack shaft to help with the rpm.

Using a 1725 RPM motor with a 1 3/4" pulley gets you 300 RPM !

I made one once. It had a triangle shaft where the crank handle hooked to it.
I cut the triangle part off the handle and turned it down to fit one of those weld in pulley hubs.
I never got the rpm quite right.

I spent many, many hours on a hand-cranked meat grinder back in my youth. My Dad wasn't one to waste money on such frivolities as electric powered grinders when he had seven children to keep out of mischief.
Even at the peak of my manhood I never came even remotely close to 300 rpm though 
I now own a Cabella's 1.5 HP grinder and love it!  |

Les, when I was a youngster the grown ups mounted that grinder to a 2X6 and set that on two 5 gal buckets. They jacked one wheel of the family car off the ground and tied the handle to the wheel. It ran at idle in low gear. My job was to set in the car and push the clutch in if someone yelled. That ole flat head Plymouth could grind some meat at butchering time.  One grown up sat on each end of the 2X6 of course.

Memories... ...yes we too had a grinder in the middle of a board, been to long to remember the size though... did a lot of meat through that grinder and it was all powered by arm-strong, course there were five of us guys and 3 younger sisters- - they did not turn much, if any. if I am remembering correctly we also ground the cranberries for the Thanksgiving salad... The "triple action" ice cream freezer was also powered by armstrong to get it good and solid. supposedly it was better that way. Yes, lots of memories...

Went to close-out/relocation sale for Wall Street Antiques, in Midland Texas a couple months ago. That weekend every item was $1.00, in the outside area there must have at least 200 hand crank meat and coffee grinders that obviously had been outside for decades.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

That should show up in the OSHA BOOK on "how to grind meat !!
