Abstract
A food processing apparatus useful as an attachment of meat grinders to provide an extension of the pressure barrel thereof. Within the extension, there is provided a feed screw the flutes of which have openings of predetermined sizes, preferably disposed in peripheral sections of the flutes, for imposing multiple sequential divisions and reverse flow on at least part of the main material flow, thereby uniformly to emulsify the material before a final chopping action by an additional rotary cutter assembly disposed near the output end of the attachment.
