Overview

Matador TC22-5 Heavy Duty Meat Mincer

The Matador TC22-5 is a heavy duty bench meat mincer engineered for butchers, restaurants and high-volume prep kitchens that demand reliable, continuous output. Built around a #22 head, it processes fresh or frozen meat at up to 280 kg per hour, with a three-blade cutting system designed to generate minimal heat so that protein structure and meat texture are preserved throughout the run.

The all stainless steel chamber is constructed in compliance with current US and EC safety standards, and the unit arrives ready for immediate use with four mesh plates and two cutting knives covering four grind sizes. A single-handle locking mechanism makes chamber removal straightforward, and a built-in reverse function clears trapped meat from the auger quickly between batches or at the end of a session. Unit height is taken from the bench surface to the uppermost point of the plunger, and the mincer is covered by a 1 Year Return to Base Warranty.

Key Benefits

• Processes up to 280 kg of meat per hour through a #22 head, supporting sustained commercial throughput without bottlenecks during busy prep periods.
• Heat-free operation protects the integrity of the meat, preventing protein breakdown and maintaining the quality and texture of the final product.
• The three-blade cutting arrangement delivers rapid, efficient mincing while producing significantly less heat than conventional cutting configurations.
• Single-handle locking mechanism allows the chamber to be released and reassembled quickly, reducing downtime between product changeovers and at clean-down.
• Reverse function ejects trapped meat from the auger at the touch of a button, clearing blockages and speeding up end-of-run cleaning.
• Four included mesh plates spanning four grind sizes give operators the flexibility to produce coarse or fine mince to suit different recipes and dishes.
• All stainless steel chamber construction meets US and EC safety standards, supporting compliance in regulated commercial kitchen environments.
• Capable of handling frozen meat quantities, reducing the need to fully thaw product before processing and improving kitchen workflow.
