I surely could use help in this matter

[scotty]

I am in florida USA

I have searched/ googled and searched for a metal spring loaded meat press capable of taking 5 ot 10 pounds of meat.
I want to make lunch meats such as boiled ham , spiced ham, chopped ham olive loaf etc.. I really dont want to improvise. I would like the actual device.


I found a company in Pensylvania that will sell me a lot of a few hundred used ones. I wrote to them but no response because i only want one.

I also saw one on ebay from the UK but the seller wasnt interested in shipping to the USA.
I have never found a supplier that sells new ones any where
Does any one have any leads????

Thanks

[saucisson]

designasausage (that Gordon posted the link to) have an ebay shop that says they only ship to Europe, but it can't hurt to ask their main shop.

You could also try:

They will ship to the United states for �26.99 + �0.44 optional postal insurance

The same one (new) can also be found here:

One of the above links shows that the presses are made by Adelmann of Germany, using Google leads to this site:

if you email them they might have a US importer you could contact.

These are hard to find in small quantities, as they are usually purchased and used by large meat processors. Sell offs are usually handled by used equipment dealers, that's where you may have some luck. Look for sites that offer used meat processing equipment and you may find someone that is will to sell in small quantities, but a lot of them want to sell the whole lot as one shipment.

One site I found that has them, but quite a ways from you and shipping may be a fortune:

Takes some hunting but you should be able to find someone like this in the states.

Last month in Philadelphia i went to a used rsturant equipment district and no one even knew what they were. Il keep looking for a processing plant somewhere statestide.

Thought I'd bump this post up since I've been looking for a ham press to play with. Anyone know of a supplier in the states that carries one?

Sausagemaker.com in Buffalo sells one. http://www.sausagemaker.com/49345stainl ... press.aspx

Call your local custom meat processors (meat processors supply, used meat processing equipment also) or a meat processor's supplier of spices and sausage products, explain what you want and ask them if they have the number of a used equipment salesman. You're most likely going to spend some time on the phone playing follow the leader, though. There are always guys in any given area who go into closing shops and buy them out lock, stock & barrel. I know a guy here who I buy from, everything from new bandsaw blades to a used commercial apple juicer for making cider.

The number for the American Association of Meat Processors is below. They're an umbrella group for local meat processors associations (I'm in the Northwest version) and have a ginormous trade show every year. They might have the number fo suppliers in your area, or a national supplier that can ship. At the least, it's a start. The latest book I can find is 2009 though, so no promises.

Another idea- look up 'meat glue'. It causes the proteins in two pieces of meat to fuse together. You could make up your chopped ham loaf, mix in some of that, then stuff it in a 4" collagen casing and hang in your meat fridge for a couple days to set and there you go. Olives are tricky, though. They like to fall out of a slice, even when rinsed. I still haven't figured that one out yet (but I haven't tried very hard, either).
