Restaurants and butcher counters often buy a grinder by “looks heavy enough,” then stall at lunch when kg/h is too low—or waste money on a 380V unit their shop cannot power. Size a commercial meat grinder by peak kg per hour, then confirm 220V vs 380V and whether you also need slicing/shredding.

1. Quick Answer: Which CHINENG Meat Grinder?

Direct answer: Match peak meat kg/h and site voltage first.

• ~150 kg/h, 220V → CN-TY-RYH12S (1.1 kW)

• ~220 kg/h, 220V → CN-TY-RYH22S (1.5 kW)

• ~250 kg/h → CN-TY-RS25 (2.2 kW, 220V or 380V)

• ~320 kg/h → CN-TY-RYH32S (1.8 kW, 220V or 380V)

• ~350 kg/h → CN-TY-RS35 (2.5 kW, 220V or 380V)

• Need grind + slice on one machine → CN-TY-RC2 / CN-TY-RQ3D multipurpose line

Catalog starting price for the countertop meat grinder page is about $390 (machine only; excludes shipping, on-site service, and tax).

2. Who These Grinders Are For

• Restaurants prepping mince for dumplings, bao, burgers, or sauces

• Butcher shops and wet-market counters that grind to order

• Central kitchens that need published kg/h on a compact countertop footprint

If your bottleneck is vegetable prep, see the vegetable cutter buying guide instead. If you mainly form dumplings after grinding, pair with the dumpling machine guide.

3. Size by kg/h (Not Seat Count)

1. Estimate peak-hour meat kg (service + prep batches)

2. Add buffer for plate changes and rework (+20–30%)

3. Match published working efficiency (kg/h)

4. Confirm voltage and whether slicing is required

Worked example: A dumpling kitchen grinds ~200 kg in the busiest prep hour → ×1.25 ≈ 250 kg/h → start with RS25 or step to RYH32S (320 kg/h) if growth is expected.

4. Desk-top vs Little Giant Lines

Desk-top Meat Grinder (Bearingless) — about 580×270×415 mm, 220 rpm:

Little Giant Desk-top (Bearingless) — about 580×260×415 mm, 187 rpm:

Both families are countertop footprint machines. Choose by kg/h and voltage—not by “bigger looking motor” alone.

5. Grind-Only vs Grind + Slice

If you only need mince, stay on RYH / RS grinders. If the same station also slices or shreds, the same product page lists:

• CN-TY-RC2-159 — grind 150 kg/h + slice 300 kg/h (1.1 kW / 220V)

• CN-TY-RC2-259 — grind 250 kg/h + slice 300 kg/h (1.5 kW / 220V)

• CN-TY-RQ3D — grind 300 kg/h + slice 150 kg/h (1.1 kW / 220V)

• R slicer/shredder head set (CN-TY-PJ-R-QPS) — accessory path for slicing/shredding rates on the catalog sheet

Do not buy a multipurpose unit “just in case” if mince is 95% of the job—extra functions add changeover time.

6. 220V vs 380V

• Only 220V → RYH12S / RYH22S / RYH32S-220 / RS25-220 / RS35-220 / RC2 / RQ3D

• 380V available → RYH32S-380, RS25-380, RS35-380 when that matches site power

Confirm breaker capacity before ordering higher-kg/h models.

7. Decision Tree

Peak ≤ ~150 kg/h, 220V → RYH12S.
~220 kg/h → RYH22S.
~250 kg/h → RS25 (pick 220 or 380).
~320 kg/h → RYH32S.
~350 kg/h → RS35.
Also need slicing on the same station → RC2 / RQ3D (or head-set path).
Mainly veggies, not meat → vegetable cutter guide.

8. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can one grinder feed a dumpling line?
A: Yes if kg/h covers filling prep. Forming still needs a dumpling machine—see the dumpling buying guide.

Q: Desk-top vs Little Giant—what is the real difference?
A: Catalog ladders differ in kg/h, kW, and rpm (220 vs 187). Size by published kg/h for your peak, then pick the matching voltage SKU.

Q: Do I need 380V?
A: Only if your site has it and you choose the /380 variants. Many restaurant models are listed at 220V.

Q: Is a meat grinder the same as a vegetable cutter?
A: No. Different product families and blades—see the vegetable cutter guide.
