When I use to make berley I started off with a mincer but it was just too hard so I brought a garbage disposer hooked it up and run the hose through at the same time the fish was being pushed through, was better but a cheap chipper would be even better.]]> Tue, 21 Jul 2026 20:00:45 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140153&PID=1845247&title=mc-tools-berley-mincer#1845247 <![CDATA[Mc Tools berley mincer : Mate uses a chipper and it does...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=140153&PID=1845246&title=mc-tools-berley-mincer#1845246 Author: krow

Mate uses a chipper and it does a good job. messy but quick and easy except the cleanup.

Operating Speeds for Burley MincersWhen processing tough bait, fish frames, and burley ingredients, a slow speed is highly beneficial for several reasons:

High Torque: Prevents the auger from binding when processing bones, cartilage, and scales.

Efficient Feeding: Allows the auger to grab and pull chunks into the blades rather than mashing the soft material.Recommended Speeds:

Manual cranking: ~40–80 RPM, depending on your pace and how much leverage your handle gives you.Motorized setups: 60–160 RPM. This is the sweet spot to let the blades cut continuously without burning out the motor.

Speeds to avoid: Avoid using standard drill speeds or high-speed blenders (1,000+ RPM) for heavy-duty burley frames, as they cause friction and can instantly overheat or strip the gears.

😁 why thank you Krow 😆😆
The guy I bought the mincer off reckoned it would take 9hp to drive it . Tbh I couldnt get a lot of sense outa the guy but after thinkin about what he was saying I think he was trying to power the thing without a decent reduction gearing and thusly needed a 9hp motor that had enough torque to turn the mincer at pretty much idle speed . I have calculated that with my reduction set up of ...primary ( pulley diameters ) of
52mm to 315mm for 6.051:1...and secondary
73mm to 285mm for 3.9:1 I will end up with
Motor speed of 2750 rpm and mincer speed of 116rpm .
Im hoping to be able to run motor at 2500rpm (or even slower )for about 100rpm mincer speed . Google advises mincer should be run at between 80 to 150 rpm but they are talking mincing meat and they are saying that too higher speed will smear any fat and spoil mince   BUT (😁) im mincing fish and other crap and my only real concern is that I dont want said crap being flung all over the place ...so... she'll be right .
Oh , by the way , pix have been edited somewhat ....yeah I removed all the empty beer bottles 😁 .....tell ya what , that Ukrainian (Obilon ) beer is good stuff ...knockin on 10% in a 500ml can for 5 bucks a shot .

Got some self aligning bearings , mounted the motor and (power)wire brushed the big pulley .

I did have one I got off a mate.
