How to convert a regular meat grinder into an electric one

Probably everyone, turning the handle of a manual meat grinder, thought about how nice it would be to install an electric drive on it. It is not as difficult and expensive as it seems. Let's look at how to do this.

Materials:

• manual meat grinder;
  
• wide planed board;
  
• motor from a screwdriver with gearbox (if not, order on AliExpress - )
  
  
  
  
• bracket for electric motor;
  
• a pair of toothed rollers of different diameters;
  
• toothed drive belt;
  
• push-button switch;
  
• power supply 12V;
  
• connector for the block plug.

The process of converting a meat grinder to an electric drive

A manual meat grinder must be securely attached to a piece of board.



A toothed pulley of larger diameter is installed on its shaft. To do this, select a bolt of the same size as for attaching the handle. It is inserted into the pulley and clamped to the side. The roller is then screwed into the auger.



A smaller pulley is installed on the motor shaft. The motor is screwed to the board using a bracket. The drive belt is tensioned between the pulleys.



Wires are soldered to the motor contacts. They are routed through the push-button switch to the connector for the power supply.


That's it, the meat grinder can be used for its intended purpose.Of course, it is not as convenient as a store-bought one, since it will need to be unscrewed every time for washing, but it is reliable, since all the parts are made of metal, not plastic.
