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.

What is the diameter of the cutting plate? I'll ask my coworker that
sharpens plates for a meat cutter to get a rpm value for you after the
holidays.
