The 15 lb. Mighty Bite Vertical Sausage Stuffer has a stainless steel base and cylinder that ensures long-term quality and endurance. For additional protection, the 15 lb. Sausage Stuffer now includes a protective gearbox cover; an innovation that takes safety and durability to the next level by ensuring your gears and your food are well protected. Clamp the stuffer base to a table or countertop and crank out perfect sausage every time. The cylinder removes easily for filling and cleaning, and the air release valve removes air from the top of the unit instead of pushing into the casing.
