Rated power
The power generated by the meat grinder motor during operation. The efficiency of work directly depends on the power: the greater the power, the more solid products the meat grinder is able to process and, usually, the higher the capacity (see Capacity). For most cases, a meat grinder with a power of 100 – 400 W is sufficient, however, for complex work with “heavy” products, more powerful devices are still required.
Rated is the power at which the device is able to operate for a long time without overheating, breakdown and other unpleasant consequences.
Peak power
Peak power is responsible for emergency situations, the device is able to work on it for a short time, however, long-term work with such a load is fraught with a meat grinder breakdown.
Reverse
The reverse function allows you to scroll the spiral auger of the meat grinder in the opposite direction, due to which the auger is freed from the veins wound around it. Thus, it is not necessary to disassemble the meat grinder for cleaning every time — it is enough to turn on the
reverse and remove the clogging pushed out to the feed opening.
