Homemade sausage stuffer -how to build?

kitch · 10-13-2008, 11:15 AM

I was surfing craigslist and saw a listing for this stuffer.

anybody have thoughts on how to build one???

kitch · 10-13-2008, 11:16 AM

I would have bought it but the guy wants $700 for this and all the rest of his equipment.

Try a pvc pipe and caulk gun and those cake icing piping nipples?

I've never tried it, but I'm just thinking out loud.

Also, a cake icing piping bag (or just use the tips and a ziploc bag) might work.

Do you mean something like this?

This is powered by the water pressure from a garden hose. The pump is to suck the piston back down.

Cabela's Commercial-Grade Electric Grinders

I bought a grinder w/the stuffing tubes from Cablea's

No need for a seperate stuffer.

Check out some farm sales or yard sales out in the country. Look for an old fashoned cast iron lard press. Works great.

kitch · 10-13-2008, 08:00 PM

the guy who listed on craigslist sent me an email back...

said its $150 in parts
and $300 in labor...

said he would make me one for $450....

hahahahahahahaha omg...
maybe I should trade him an unpainted UDS.

$80 in parts and $400 in labor.

iamuzzyhunter · 10-13-2008, 08:38 PM

I think he has about $10 in parts and about an hours labor in that thing.

This looks like a job for................................NORCO..... Who else could make this thing and make it work and make it cheap.....

Im starting to see something like a 2 way piston that is driven by air pressure. PVC would be fine for something like this too. a ball valve to control the output ( Sausage) and maybe a quick connect airhose to return the pusher ( piston) to the bottom once the supply is exhausted at Top Dead Center. The piston would perhaps best be a solid piece of UHMW that could have some ring grooves cut into it for O rings.... Except for the piston ( initial thought) the whole thing could be done in about an hour of quality time at Homie Depot

northern tool has several, and they are all way less than $700.
How large is that thing?

Will get on it. would think C02 would be safer than air. If you have a piston that is displaced by air you could not keep from contaminating it unless you have a bladder. Ever seen the liquid that comes out of a compressor?
