Functionality: It replaces traditional tools like mincing knives and works by placing food into a funnel, which then enters a horizontal screw conveyor. This screw crushes and mixes the food before it's passed through a fixed plate to exit the machine.
Construction: This particular model appears to be made of cast iron, suggesting durability and longevity.
Operation: Unlike electric meat grinders, this is a manual version, likely operated with a hand crank (though not fully visible in the image).
