This offer ends in:
The HFM12 processes fresh meat at 160 kg per hour through a stainless steel #12 grinding head. A 550W motor drives continuous production in butcher shops, restaurant prep kitchens, and catering operations. Operators select mincing plates to control output texture for mince, sausage filling, or pâté preparation.
Commercial Application
Meat arrives from cold storage in trimmed portions. The operator feeds material through the 5 kg capacity tray while the motor runs forward at continuous duty. When blockage occurs, reverse operation clears the screw without disassembly.
During high-volume service prep, the machine runs for extended periods to produce consistent mince batches. The #12 head diameter accommodates larger meat pieces without pre-cutting. Output rate supports batch preparation for multiple menu items or retail counter stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the actual output rate during continuous operation?
A: The HFM12 processes 160 kg per hour with fresh meat at correct feed pressure. Actual rate varies with meat temperature, fat content, and plate hole diameter. Frozen or partially frozen material reduces throughput.
Q: Which mincing plate sizes fit the #12 grinding head?
A: Standard #12 plates from 3mm to 10mm hole diameter fit the Ø70mm head. Finer plates reduce throughput rate. Coarse plates above 8mm increase output speed for sausage filling.
Q: Can the 550W motor run continuously during service prep?
A: The motor runs continuous duty cycle with self-cooling ventilation. Allow brief cooling intervals every 45-60 minutes during maximum throughput operation. Monitor housing temperature during extended use.
Q: What is the cleaning procedure after each production run?
A: Release the quick-lock mechanism and remove the grinding head assembly. Disassemble the screw, knife, and plate for manual washing. All stainless steel components tolerate commercial dishwasher cycles.
Q: Does the machine handle poultry and game meat?
A: The unit processes poultry, game, and red meat through the same grinding head. Remove tendons and silver skin before feeding. Poultry skin may require coarser plates to prevent clogging.
