Installation, Operation, and Care of
MG1532 & MG2032 MIXER-GRINDERS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The MG1532 & MG2032 Mixer-Grinders are designed to use a #32(42/46) size knife and plate (knives and
plates are available at extra cost but not included with grinder). Do not use a plate with hole size smaller
than 3/32".
The MG1532 Mixer-Grinder is equipped with either a 5 or 71/2 HP Grind Motor and a 1 HP Mix Motor. The
MG2032 Mixer-Grinder is equipped with a 71/2 HP Grind Motor and a 1 HP Mix Motor. On all models, the
worm rotates at 216 RPM and the mix arm rotates at 23 RPM. The MG1532 with 5 HP Grind Motor is for fresh
meat only, not for frozen product.
The inclined hopper permits lower, easier loading while the tilted worm provides a convenient output
height.
Releasing the latch handle allows the hopper guard (lid) to open easily — torsion springs counterbalance
the lid's weight.
The exclusive Hobart designed #46 Wedge cylinder
grinding end speeds product from hopper to grinding
end by pulling pieces of meat through the large upper
opening of the cylinder (Fig. 1).
The MG1532 & MG2032 Mixer-Grinders may be
ordered with any of the following options and/or
accessories:
1) Caster sets and / or adjustable leg sets. The
MG1532&MG2032Mixer-Grindersareequipped
with flexible power supply cord and plug. Either
a receptacle or a pendant type connector is
available. The receptacle requires a type FD
electrical box (not supplied).
2) Pneumatic foot switch accessory (can be easily
added at any time).
Fig. 1
3) The hopper side-feed inlet can be ordered (and factory installed) for the right side of the hopper
to allow product from a companion first cut grinder to feed directly into the hopper. A plug assembly
for the side feed inlet, a drip cup, and adapter ring for the first-cut grinder are available accessories.
The MG1532 hopper can hold up to 150 pounds of fresh meat. The MG2032 hopper can hold up to
200 pounds of fresh meat. The MG1532&MG2032Mixer-Grinders can grind at a rate of 55 to 60 pounds
of fresh boneless beef per minute, first or second cut through a 1/8" plate. Pork can be ground first cut
through a 3/4" breaker plate and second cut through a 3/16" plate at 60 to 65 pounds per minute. Up to
60 pounds of frozen meat per batch (on units with 71/2 HP Grind Motor only) can be ground from flake
or stick form when tempered to 26°F or higher and first grind is through a 3/8" or larger plate.

CHECK MOTOR ROTATION (Three-Phase Machines Only)
With the grinder cylinder in place and the hopper lid closed, check the rotation before making a
permanent electrical connection by first pushing the MIX-GRIND START switch and then pushing the
STOP switch (Fig. 4). The mixing arm and worm should both rotate counterclockwise, when viewed
from the machine's front.
If the mixing arm and worm rotate clockwise, correct the rotation using the following procedure:
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY and interchange any two of the incoming power
supply leads. Reconnect the power supply and push the MIX-GRIND START switch to verify that both
the worm and the mixer arm rotate counterclockwise as viewed from the front of the machine.

CONTROL BOX HEATERS
The Mixer-Grinder has a heater in the control box and another heater in the front control panel to keep
the controls dry. They are automatically ON when the machine is electrically connected. The Mixer-
Grinder should always be connected EXCEPT when performing assembly, disassembly, cleaning, or
maintenance of the machine. After cleaning, reconnect the electrical power supply.

GRINDER ATTACHMENT
The Wedge cylinder is marked TOP and BOTTOM. Before operating, make sure TOP is visible.
The grinder attachment can easily be removed for cleaning (see Cleaning, page 8). Use the spanner
wrench to loosen the adjusting ring and remove the adjusting ring, plate and knife. Next loosen, but
do not remove the grinder attachment's two flange nuts, using the spanner wrench. Rotate the cylinder
clockwise and remove the cylinder; then, remove the worm. At reassembly, install the worm and then
the cylinder. Make sure TOP is visible on the cylinder and that the cylinder's flange nuts are tight before
assembling the knife, plate, and adjusting ring. Use only the flange nuts provided. Two studs on the
front of the machine allow storage of the spanner wrench and pneumatic foot switch.
The rubber seal at the drive end of the worm can be removed by hand for cleaning. Grasp the outer
flange of the seal or use a dull screwdriver to pry the seal loose. Reinstall seal before installing worm.

MIX ARM SEAL
MIX ARM
Before using the grinder attachment, take it apart
and thoroughly wash it. The knife and plate need
some preliminary lubrication: Rub tallow or food
grade mineral oil over the cutting faces of these
parts. When assembling the knife, be sure to turn
the cutting side towards the perforated plate. The
notch on the circumference of the plate must fit over
the pin in the cylinder. Knives and plates must be
sharp and true for proper cutting action. Keep the

MIXING ARM
Loosen the bushing retainer's two flange nuts and remove the bushing retainer (Fig. 5). Raise the
hopper lid and pull the mixing arm from the square drive end, lifting the mixing arm from the hopper
(Fig. 6). When reassembling, make sure TOP on the bushing retainer is “up” so the mixing arm runs
straight between the round bushing and the square drive-end. Remove the mixing arm after
disassembly of the grinder cylinder and worm. Reassemble the mixing arm before assembly of the
grinder cylinder and worm.
MIXING AND GRINDING
The MG1532 has a hopper capacity of up to 150 pounds of fresh meat depending on the type of product.
The MG2032 has a hopper capacity of up to 200 pounds of fresh meat depending on the type of product.
Don't put frozen product in units with 5 HP Grind Motor.
Second cut meat may be mixed in the hopper for any desired length of time. During the MIX operation,
the mixing arm rotates and the grinder worm does not. Continuous self-feeding occurs along with
grinding in the MIX-GRIND operation. Mixing of uncut or unground meat is not recommended.
Grinding Procedure
First Grind . . .
Fill hopper and close and latch the hopper lid. Overfilling will bend the hopper lid and may cause
the interlock to open the electrical circuit.
Push MIX-GRIND Button to start grinding. Press STOP Button to stop grinding.
Second Grind . . .
Fill hopper and close and latch the hopper lid. Press MIX Button. After desired mixing, press the
STOP Button. Then, press the MIX-GRIND Button to start grinding; press the STOP Button to stop
grinding; or activate and use the optional accessory Foot Switch.
