BIRO AFMG-48-II Mixer Grinder
The BIRO AFMG-48-II is a proven workhorse for medium-volume meat rooms. With a 200 lb stainless hopper, 7.5 hp auger motor, size-48 head using size-32 knife and plate, and output exceeding 65 lb per minute, this machine delivers the torque and durability needed for daily production. Its roller-chain auger drive system and separate mixer-drive interface maximize power transfer, reduce wear, and keep maintenance simple. Built from heavy-gauge stainless steel and engineered for washdown environments - backed by BIRO’s reputation for reliability since 1921.
Built for Serious Daily Production
The AFMG-48-II gives busy supermarkets, butcher shops, and processors the power and throughput they need. The 200 lb hopper, hot-tin-dipped cast-iron bowl and auger, and standard 2nd-grind paddle deliver smooth, uniform mixing and fast, consistent grind cycles - even with dense product under heavy load.
