Heavy duty stainless steel cylinder with two speeds: One for stuffing and a high speed for removing the plunger for fast refills. The vertical design is great if you have limited counter space. 11 lb. Capacity Two gears Slow stuffing mode Fast pull-back mode It is possible to stuff slowly to avoid air in the sausage while driving forward in the "work" mode, yet pull the piston back in the "fast back" mode. 100% Stainless Steel Cylinder Nylon Piston with Air Exhaust Valve The unique piston design seals off tightly against the cylinder (plunger) to keep meat from entering. It is spring loaded, so that the valve will close when in operation and re-open to release air. This feature drastically reduces any air pockets that could enter in the casing while stuffing. Rubber legs prevents slipping Gear and drive shaft made of case-hardened steel Removable metal handle with plastic grip Comes with 4 bayonet-style funnels
