GENERAL

The 4732 and 4732A Choppers are equipped with a 3 HP motor that rotates the worm at 151 RPM. The 4732 and 4732A are designed to use a #32 size knife and plate. Knives and plates, available at extra cost, are not included with the chopper.

The stainless steel feed pan on the 4732 is not removable and must be cleaned in place. Model 4732A has a removable stainless steel feed pan and an interlock that requires the feed pan to be in place before the machine can be turned on. On both models, a cast aluminum guard is permanently mounted to the front and sides of the feed pan. Dimensions on the feed pan are 34" long x 21" wide x 5" deep. The motor and switch housing is available in painted steel or stainless steel. The table models use 5 that provide 8" clearance between the table and the lowest point on the adjusting ring. Leg sets of other heights (18" or 21") are available to convert the 4732 or 4732A into a ﬂ oor model. Sausage stuffers for hog or sheep casings are available accessories.
