Jonathon , it’s a Hakka brothers stuffer. According to their website. It does say sticks in the description. They are saying 16mm is a 1/2 in tube. The deer sticks the processors here in north central illinois make. Basically are as big around as a hot dog. These are the size I’m wanting to make. . I’m just hoping I’m not confusing myself others saying deer sticks. But that’s what we call them here. I’m not wanting to make slim Jim style sticks. But bigger ones the size of hot dogs.
Stuffer Gasket for OLD Optima 9 Ltr Stuffer
-
I rebuilt a 40-? Year old Optima 9 Ltr stuffer which has a leather gasket on stuffing plate and it works great till I put a 10-12 mm stuffing tube on it for snack sticks. I am looking at all options for getting less blow by with the current set up. I have searched the net for parts, no luck and am thinking about having a new stuffing plate made out of marine grade aluminum with o-ring grove and air bleeder. Any body have cheaper or better options? My stuffer is approximately 6 1/4" diameter and has metic bolts so guessing it is German.

akdave Dont have any ideas for you but I can tell you that neither the 7/11 lb or the 26/33 lb stuffer pistons or gaskets will work for that. The small is about 5" (inside diameter) and about 8" (outside diameter). Good luck!

Think I got it resolved Hydralic shop has food grade O-rings that should work and local machine shop estimates that for $100.00 they can make a spacer plate for stuffing plate and also machine the plate for air bleader valve.
