STX Turboforce II 4000 Series Meat Grinder

Yes, the Turboforce II is designed to handle soft bones, such as chicken or rabbit bones, with ease. However, it is not intended for grinding hard, weight-bearing bones like those from beef or pork, which could damage the internal components.

The foot pedal acts as an on/off switch, allowing you to stop and start the motor without touching the unit. This is particularly useful when you need both hands free to feed meat into the hopper or manage sausage casings.

The unit features a standard #12 grinding head size. While it comes with a comprehensive set of accessories, it is generally compatible with standard #12 attachments if you are looking to expand your toolkit later.

Yes, the patented air-cooling system is designed to prevent the motor from overheating during extended use. This allows you to process larger batches of meat—like a full deer or bulk freezer prep—without needing to stop frequently to let the machine cool down.

No, the grinding head, auger, and plates are made of polished cast aluminum and hardened steel, which can discolor or corrode in a dishwasher. We recommend hand-washing all removable parts with warm, soapy water and drying them immediately to maintain their finish.

While performance varies based on the type of meat and the coarseness of the plate used, this unit is capable of processing between 175 and 225 pounds of meat per hour under optimal conditions.
