Heavy-duty electric meat mincers with cheese grater are multi-purpose tools, capable of grinding meat and grating cheese and dry bread.
In fact, they are equipped with professional continuous duty electric induction motors, powered by 230 V and therefore able to speed up the preparation of many food.
These machines are clearly designed to satisfy the needs of professional kitchens, as they are able to supply large quantities of product: a useful advantage, especially for those who cook intensively and continuously, as is the case in catering.
The hourly output of heavy-duty mincers generally ranges from 40 Kg/h to 55 Kg/h, depending on the power of the motor. The rated power of these motors ranges from 0.3 Hp to 1.5 Hp.
Meat minces equipped with cheese grater feature all the advantages coming from a multi tool product.
A very versatile machine, widely spread in restaurants, rotisseries, hotels and other businesses in this field thanks to its extreme flexibility but, at the same time, highly useful even in small home kitchens, as it allows saving valuable space thanks to its 2 in 1 operation.
Meat mincers are tools intended for mincing meat into small, homogeneous pieces, so that it can be mixed with spices and other ingredients.
They consist of a central body, usually cylindrical, with two openings, one for the entering the meat and one from which the meat comes out, respectively.
The propeller inside the machine moves the meat along the central body by means of an electric current.
The blades mince the meat in small pieces.
Finally, these machines also feature a perforated die plate where the meat to mince pass through.
These are the main components of a standard meat mincer but this category includes machines also equipped with cheese grater.
This last allows grating cheese, bread and many other food.
The first feature to consider is the operating system, which can be SINGLE-PHASE (with blue plug) or THREE-PHASE (with red plug). This last model is the one ensuring optimised both performance and consumption.
Another important aspect to take into account, especially for professional use, is the presence of the CE mark.
Furthermore, it should be checked whether the grinding unit can be removed or not, for a more practical and effective cleaning of the different components.
The final feature to consider is the material of the body, POLISHED ALUMINIUM or STAINLESS STEEL.
The cleaning operations of these particular meat mincer models are similar to those of the standard versions but have to be carried out also on the cheese grater.
Thus, the most important are:
When buying a meat mincer it is important to keep it in as good condition as possible, so remember to regularly sharpen the blades, which tend to blunt over time and use.
Stop the mincer and clean it of accumulated grease, even during processing if necessary.
And finally, to prevent rusting of any components, always dry them properly.
