Default speed of meat grinder

Karl,

This doesn't answer your question but an ordinary garbage disposal unit
makes an excellent fish chum 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.
