Surely many of the houses still have old Soviet manual meat grinders collecting dust. Many owners have long acquired modern electrical equipment that allows you to grind food without much work and stress. What to do with the now unnecessary manual meat grinder? You can't take it to a museum, and it's often a pity to throw out a good thing. There is an application. You can make a juicer.
What is required: manual meat grinder, drill (10.95-11.0 mm) and tap M12 (with a step of 1.25), bushing with the same thread, ordinary self-tapping screw, appropriate tools.
So, we disassemble the meat grinder. We remove the knife, sieve, auger and handle. In the lower part, using a marker, make a mark for a 10 mm hole with an offset of 8 mm from the edge of the meat grinder thread. We do the exact calculations ourselves, having analyzed the design of our meat grinder. The point is that the nut does not interfere with the operation of the tool during assembly. We make a hole for the thread for the juice outlet sleeve. We make a thread with a tap. If it is going hard, it is recommended to add a little lubricant.

Now we collect the meat grinder back. An important point is that the sieve should be placed backwards. This is necessary so that the knife tool does not cut fruits and vegetables, but squeezes them as much as possible. The higher the compression ratio, the more juice we get. In the hole made earlier in the lower part of the meat grinder, we insert the sleeve to drain the juice. That, in fact, is the whole miracle modernization. Advertising
Important: install the sleeve so that it does not touch the auger during operation.
How does a makeshift juicer from a meat grinder work? Everything is exactly the same. Place our meat juicer securely on the edge of the table. We fix it with a large diameter washer for better fastening reliability. We wash and clean the fruit from which you want to squeeze juice. We put the product inside the meat grinder and gently pressing it, we begin to turn the handle.
