FIMAR Meat Mincer 22C for Professional Kitchens

A meat mincer reduces whole cuts of meat into finely ground product by forcing them through a rotating screw and a perforated plate. The screw draws the meat from the hopper, compresses it, and pushes it against the plate, where a sharp knife slices it into strands. The size of the holes in the plate determines the texture, while the knife's edge ensures consistent cutting without tearing. This method preserves the meat's structure and moisture, producing a uniform grind suitable for sausages, burgers, or fillings without manual chopping.

To operate the FIMAR 22C, load the hopper with chilled meat, ensuring pieces fit the 52 mm inlet. Switch the machine on, and the oiled gear motor drives the screw, pushing the meat through the stainless steel plate with 6 mm holes. The self-sharpening knife rotates against the plate, cutting the meat as it passes. The ground product collects beneath the plate, ready for immediate use or further processing. The entire grinding unit, including the plate and knife, detaches for cleaning or refrigeration, meeting hygiene standards.

The mincer's casing and hopper are made from stainless steel AISI 304, a material chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of sanitisation. The grinding unit, also in stainless steel, is dishwasher-safe, allowing thorough cleaning between batches. The 1.1 kW motor provides sufficient power to handle continuous use without overheating, while the 28 kg weight keeps the unit stable on a worktop without requiring permanent installation.

The voltage range of 230-400 V/3N/50 Hz allows the mincer to connect to standard three-phase kitchen circuits, accommodating the electrical supply in most professional settings. The 470 x 270 x 450 mm footprint fits on a worktop or prep table, leaving space for additional equipment. A capacity of 250 kg per hour supports medium to high-volume production, reducing manual labour during service.

Cleaning involves removing the grinding unit, disassembling the plate and knife, and washing them in a dishwasher or by hand. The hopper and casing wipe down with a sanitising cloth, while the oiled gear motor requires no maintenance beyond occasional inspection. The removable grinding unit can be stored in a refrigerator to maintain hygiene between uses.

The FIMAR 22C is a standalone mincer designed for professional kitchens requiring consistent, high-volume meat preparation. It is categorised under meat processing equipment in the catering supplies catalogue.
