Mincers / Grinders

     Meat grinders are often used to grind soft and elastic raw materials. Meat grinders are especially widely used in the meat processing industry. Created at the beginning of the last century and called meat cutting machines, meat grinders have become indispensable in the production of sausages, kitchens, and households.

     The working principle of the meat grinder is simple - the meat falling between the sieves and the blades is cut using the scissor cutting principle. Grinding is best done with sufficiently cooled raw material. Large pieces of meat enter the transport shaft, which pushes them to sieves and knives. There are three main functions of a meat grinder: raw material loading - transportation, raw material compression and cutting.

     The number indicating the diameter of the sieves used in the meat grinder is considered the main data that determines the power of the meat grinder. Small and medium-sized enterprises use meat grinders with sieve diameters from 106 to 160 mm. Large companies use meat grinders with mesh cross-sections of up to 400 mm. Kitchens usually use table-top meat grinders smaller than 106 mm in diameter. The cross-sections of sieves used in a professional environment are usually marked with letters.
