Every butcher needs a reliable meat mincer in their arsenal, especially if they plan on selling mince or other fresh produce like burgers, pies, and meatballs. Without a durable and heavy-duty meat mincer, you can't grind your cuts of meat into your desired texture to make your produce. However, when it comes to grinding your meat, there are a few things to keep in mind, especially when it comes to choosing the right mincer for the job.

How to pick your meat mincer

If you're in the market for a brand-new commercial meat mincer, there are a few things to consider before you make your purchase. The first thing to consider is capacity. The amount of meat you intend to grind per day will affect the model of meat grinder that's best suited to your butcher shop. If you are planning to produce a large quantity of minced meat per day, you'll need a heavy-duty machine that can produce such volumes. However, if you only grind small amounts whenever you need to, a smaller machine will be all you need to get the job done.

What happens when you overload a meat mincer?

It's essential to buy a meat mincer that's compatible with the amount of meat you will be grinding as overloading your machine can cause a number of issues that'll make it a challenge to work efficiently. Overloading the machine puts strain on the motor, the mincing knives and the plates and leads to overheating, premature wear, inefficient functionality, and uneven textures. Not only that, loading the machine with more meat than it was built to handle can clog up the mincer, which can also cause damage or, at the very least, inconvenient disruptions to your work schedule. Plus, the meat produced by overloading a grinder is more likely to be uneven in texture and, therefore, not fit for use.
