BIRO AFMG-52 Mixer Grinder
The BIRO AFMG-52 is built for serious production. With a 200 lb stainless hopper (400 lb optional), 7.5 hp auger motor (10 hp optional), size-52 grinding head, and output up to 100 lb per minute, the AFMG-52 is engineered for large supermarket meat rooms, mid-size processors, and HRI plants that need maximum throughput every shift. Its roller-chain auger drive and separate mixer-drive interface maximize torque, reduce wear, and keep maintenance straightforward - backed by BIRO’s reputation for reliability since 1921.
High-Throughput Mixing & Grinding
The AFMG-52’s size-52 hot-tin-dipped cast-iron bowl, ring, and auger, combined with a 1.75 hp mixer motor and standard 2nd-grind paddle, deliver smooth, uniform product mix and fast, consistent grind cycles - even with dense product under continuous load. An optional 400 lb hopper and extended leg options make it adaptable to high-volume environments and ergonomic floor layouts.
