LEM 30lb motorized sausage stuffer on the smallest horn. w/ hi temp cheese

owners of large capacity stuffers and other sausage pros

as the title suggests small diameter casings with hi temp cheese cubes especially after chilled DOES NOT like to come out.
my dilemma is i want 21mm snack sticks with hi temp cheese in the farce in a full 30lb motorized stuffer.

was making 21mm snack sticks made the mistake of not stuffing right away even had 10% water and the stuffer popped and banged more than once. bent the round allen head bolts the cylinder secures into and blew past the silicon O ring a couple times.

outside of the obvious which is dont do it, what would you guys suggest...like what are the pro's doing for large capacity 30lb plus small diameter stuffing.

10lb at time is a pain in the ass esp when doing 50lb batches. do i get a better stuff if so what? or can i modify the one i have??

Does anyone own a hydraulic stuffer or has experience using one?

I have a 30lb motorized stuffer and it has its limitations more than any stuffer I have. I explained two speed stuffers a long time ago here. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/2-speed-vertical-stuffers.154910/
My instructions that came with my 30LB stuffer stated not to be used for small diameters. If you want that volume you will need to go to a hydraulic type stuffer. I can use my 5 lb and 15 lb verticals from lem and gander mountain for sticks but that's what I'm limited to

you might consider a Dakota water stuffer. I have one as well as a 15lb electric. Water stuffer is great for a 1 man operation...trust me on that. On your cheese you might try shredding a little smaller first. That 22mm casing horn is pretty small as you know.
