Default speed of meat grinder

My January landlord uses a commercial Hobart (#33 I think) meat grinder as a fish chum grinder. The gear
motor part has died. I told him I could redo it for him. So, I'm looking for a 220 gear motor (I may get 3
phase and VFD) My question, anybody know what RPM a commercial meat grinder runs at? My landlord ran his
finger round and round at maybe 60 to 120 rpm.

I'm just guessing but 3,450 rpm sounds about right!
