Can a commercial meat grinder process frozen meat directly?

Whether a commercial grinder can handle frozen meat hinges on feed temperature, chunk size, plate hole diameter and screw torque. Some models tolerate pre-cut, semi-frozen pieces, yet that never means a rock-hard whole block is safe to load. Before buying, set the minimum feed temperature and largest chunk size, then trial actual frozen meat while watching for bridging, current spikes and steady discharge. Accept the machine only after a continuous loaded run on your own product, not a brief demo.
