Lem Products #22 Big Bite Dual Grind Meat Grinder - 1 Hp

The Lem Products #22 Big Bite Dual Grind Meat Grinder is built for hunters and serious home processors who demand speed without sacrificing consistency. This 1 HP grinder combines commercial-grade technology with a design that lets you achieve two different grinds in a single pass—no need to reload and run meat through twice. The dual-blade knife and dual-plate system work together to deliver the texture quality of a two-stage grind in roughly half the time, making it an efficiency game-changer whether you're processing a season's worth of venison or running a steady workflow of domestic meat.

Built around LEM's Big Bite auger technology, this #22 head grinder takes larger bites of meat and moves it through faster than conventional designs. Paired with a robust 1 HP motor and a stainless steel construction, it grinds approximately 13 pounds per minute—plenty of throughput for serious workloads. The grind pan (16½" × 12⅛" × 3" deep) is sized for efficient batch handling, and the three included plastic stuffing tubes (5/8", 1", and 1⅜" OD) let you transition smoothly between grinding and sausage-making without tool changes.

This grinder ships with four stainless steel plates—4.5mm, 10mm, and a stuffing plate—covering most common grinding and stuffing tasks. The head opening is 3 inches, the motor runs on a 6-foot cord, and the entire unit is ETL and ETL sanitary certified for food safety. A storage drawer and sanitary-covered on/off switch round out the design. At roughly 50 pounds, it's a stationary fixture for the processing bench, not a portable unit.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What attachments and plates are included?

The #22 grinder ships with four stainless steel plates (4.5mm, 10mm, and a stuffing plate), a stainless steel dual-blade knife, and three plastic stuffing tubes (5/8", 1", and 1⅜" OD). Additional compatible attachments are available separately.

Can I use an extension cord with this grinder?

No, the 6-foot cord is the standard and extension cords are not recommended. Plan your setup so the grinder can be positioned within 6 feet of a power outlet.

How fast does this grinder process meat?

The 1 HP motor drives approximately 13 pounds of meat per minute through the grinder, making it suitable for high-volume home processing and commercial-scale work.

What makes the dual grind feature useful?

The dual-blade knife and two grinder plates let you achieve two different grind textures (like a coarse and fine grind) in a single pass through the grinder. This eliminates the time and effort of feeding meat through twice to get a mixed or layered texture for sausage blends and specialty ground products.
