I would suggest finding a gear motor. They have a lot of torque and you don't have to use pulleys or belts. You just have to find a flex coupling for connecting the grinder to the motor. A guy I work with gave me the suggestion for the gear motor. I am going to try and motorize my sausage stuffer. Here is a example of how to motorize your grinder with the gear motor

it is hard to find fault with Vee belt drive systems. They are efficient, quiet, and easily serviced. They are also inexpensive. That is why your automobile alternator, water pump, power steering pump and air conditioner compressor are all belt driven.
Additionally you can change the ratios for the price of a single pulley and a belt.

Please tell us more about double decker meat grinders. Is this two independent grinders with different plates so that the meat is first course ground and then fine ground. I guess you could feed the meat into the first grinder with you right hand and then into the second grinder with your left hand and with your other hand you could keep the pile of ground meat from spilling over the side of the lug.

Sven if you are not a fraud you will explain this contraption. I have not seen or heard of such a system and I would be very pleased to know what it looks like and how it works.
The last time I studied physics I learned that if you appliy work to a mass some of the work is converted into heat so please tell us also how applying work to a mass of meat will not cause heating.

If you are not extremely careful with this set-up, I can see fingers getting caught in belts and pulleys and not even mention the 2 mincers.
I prefer my set up, less risk involved to my cherished fingers.
Futhermore I prefer to mix spices in the 1st mince before I mince again the 2nd time and chill in between. Just my 2 bob!
