The MK8 is a 500W electric meat mincer built for butcher shops, restaurant prep kitchens, and catering operations. It processes fresh meat through replaceable mincing plates mounted on a compact 310×180×340mm stainless steel chassis. Single-phase 220V operation supports countertop installation in commercial environments.
Commercial Application
Butchers and prep staff use this unit for batch mincing of beef, pork, lamb, and poultry during morning prep and service periods. The feed tray accepts trimmed cuts while the auger drives material through the selected plate. Output texture depends on plate hole diameter.
Continuous duty cycle suits intermittent production runs common in mid-volume operations. Operators load meat in controlled batches to maintain consistent grind quality. The 500W motor maintains torque under load when processing chilled but not frozen material.

Construction & Build Quality
The body and feed tray are fabricated from stainless steel to withstand daily cleaning protocols. The 500W motor drives a hardened auger through a gearbox designed for commercial meat processing loads. All food-contact surfaces disassemble for manual cleaning.
- Stainless steel body resists corrosion from cleaning agents
- Hardened auger and blade maintain edge retention through production cycles
- Motor housing sealed against moisture ingress during washdown
- Non-slip rubber feet bonded to base for operational stability
Suitable Operations

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the output capacity per hour?
A: Output depends on plate hole diameter and operator feed rate. Typical throughput ranges from 40-60 kg/hour with a medium plate when processing boneless beef or pork. Poultry processes faster due to softer tissue structure.
Q: Which mincing plates are compatible?
A: The unit accepts standard size 8 plates with hole diameters from 3mm to 10mm. Fine plates (3-5mm) produce smooth mince for sausage filling. Coarse plates (8-10mm) suit burger patty preparation and reduce motor load.
Q: What is the motor duty cycle?
A: The 500W motor supports continuous operation for 20-30 minute periods with brief cooling intervals between batches. Extended runs above 30 minutes require 10-15 minute rest periods to prevent thermal overload.
Q: How is the unit cleaned between batches?
A: Disconnect power before disassembly. Remove feed tray, auger, blade, and plate. Wash all components in hot water with commercial detergent. Wipe motor housing with damp cloth only.
Q: Can this mincer process poultry and game?
A: Yes. The unit processes chicken, turkey, duck, and game birds after primary butchery. Remove large bones before feeding. Sinew and cartilage pass through medium to coarse plates without motor strain.
