Apuro CH133-A Heavy Duty Meat Mincer Size 12 | 130kg/hr Electric Grinder 550W

Process bulk batches quickly, control your mince blends, and expand into artisan sausage production with the Apuro CH133-A Heavy Duty Meat Mincer. Engineered specifically for commercial butcher shops, farm stores, delis, supermarkets, pub kitchens, and catering operations, this size 12 benchtop grinder pairs an industrial-grade 550W motor with precision-machined cutting components to process up to 130 kg of meat per hour.

High-Output 550W Motor & Jam-Clearing Reverse Function

Equipped with a high-torque, heavy-duty 550W commercial motor, the Apuro CH133-A powers smoothly through tough cuts of beef, pork, lamb, poultry, and game without stalling. If sinew, gristle, or bone fragments cause a blockage during intensive prep runs, the integrated reverse function lets operators safely back out clogs at the flick of a switch without needing to strip down the mincing barrel mid-batch.

Precision Size 12 Plates & Sausage Stuffing Versatility

Supplied with standard commercial size 12 components, the unit includes both 6 mm (fine/medium) and 8 mm (coarse) stainless steel perforated extrusion plates alongside a surgical-grade stainless steel cross cutting blade. From fine burger grinds and meatball mixes to coarse terrines, pates, and salamis, you have complete control over texture. The machine also includes an ergonomic food-safe plastic pusher and a dedicated sausage stuffing funnel, allowing you to link fresh sausages and boerewors straight from the grinding head.

Robust Commercial Build & Fast Disassembly

Constructed with a rugged die-cast aluminium housing and a heavy-gauge stainless steel loading tray, the CH133-A withstands daily high-volume prep. Weighing 20.76 kg, it sits solidly anchored to workbenches without rocking or sliding during vigorous loading. When prep wraps up, the entire front grinding assembly disassembles in seconds for thorough, food-safe washdowns, while built-in motor overload protection safeguards internal electrical circuits from mechanical strain.

Technical Specifications

Daily Care, Maintenance & End-of-Shift Sanitisation

To uphold strict HACCP food safety standards, eliminate raw meat bacteria, and preserve knife edge sharpness:

1. Power Down & Unplug: At the conclusion of meat processing, switch off the motor, isolate the unit from the power point, and unplug the power cord before disassembling.

2. Barrel Disassembly: Unscrew the front locking ring, slide out the perforated plate, cutting knife, feed worm screw, and remove the top stainless steel feed tray.

3. Component Washdown & Sanitisation: Wash the stainless steel feed pan, worm screw, knife, plates, and plastic pusher in a commercial pot-wash sink with warm water and a food-grade antibacterial degreaser. Rinse thoroughly with clean fresh water and sanitise. Wipe completely dry with clean paper towels.

4. Aluminium Housing Care: Wipe down the die-cast aluminium motor casing with a soft microfibre cloth dampened with warm water and a neutral sanitiser. Do not use caustic cleaners, bleach, or harsh scouring pads. Never place aluminium components into a commercial dishwasher, as high-alkaline detergents cause oxidisation and dark surface discolouration.

5. Blade & Plate Lubrication: After drying, apply a light coating of food-grade white mineral oil or food-safe silicone spray to the carbon/stainless steel cutting blade, perforated plates, and worm shaft before storage to inhibit rust and oxidisation.

6. Electrical Safety: Never submerge the motor unit in water, and never spray the mincer with a high-pressure commercial pre-rinse hose or dishwashing spray gun.

Benchtop Placement & Electrical Guidelines

The Apuro CH133-A is designed for rapid countertop integration across commercial prep areas and butchery lines:

1. Standard 10A Electrical Connection: The mincer is supplied with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and runs on standard single-phase 220–240V power. With an economical 550W power draw (approx. 2.4A), it connects straight into standard commercial wall sockets without overloading kitchen circuits. Avoid using domestic adapters or multi-plug boards.

2. Solid Countertop Positioning: Place the unit on a flat, level, dry, and sturdy commercial stainless steel workbench capable of bearing its 20.76 kg net weight plus meat load. Ensure non-slip rubber feet sit securely on the bench to prevent vibration and creeping during heavy grinding.

3. Ergonomic Loading Setup: Set up a clean, linear prep workflow: position chilled, cubed meat trays on one side, feed using the supplied food pusher, and place food-grade lugs or gastronorm pans directly beneath the mincer mouth to catch extruded mince.

4. Safe Operating Clearances: Keep packaging, apron ties, knives, and loose tools well clear of the hopper opening.Always use the supplied plastic food pusher to feed meat into the feed chute—never use fingers, spatulas, or steel utensils.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I connect this meat mincer to a standard 10 Amp power point?

Yes. The Apuro CH133-A is equipped with an efficient 550W motor that draws approximately 2.4 Amps on single-phase 220–240V power. It comes fitted with a standard Australian 10 Amp plug and plugs directly into standard commercial wall outlets without requiring 15A wiring.

What is the benefit of the reverse function?

If sinew, fibrous cartilage, or hard gristle wraps around the feed screw and bogs down the cutting head, running the unit in reverse for a few seconds dislodges the restriction. This clears the chamber without having to disassemble the mincer barrel during the middle of a batch.

Can this machine mince bones or frozen meat blocks?

No. The Apuro CH133-A is engineered for chilled, boneless meats, poultry, fish, and fat trimmings. Grinding hard bones, frozen blocks of meat, or non-food items can chip the cutting knife, damage the perforated plate, and void the manufacturer's warranty.

What size perforated plates come included with the machine?

The unit comes supplied with two standard Size 12 perforated plates: a 6 mm plate (ideal for fine-to-medium grinds, burgers, and bolognaise) and an 8 mm plate (ideal for coarse sausages, salamis, and chilli mince). Additional Size 12 aftermarket plates can also be fitted.

How do I make sausages using the included sausage stuffer attachment?

First, grind your chilled meat and fat through the 6 mm or 8 mm plate and mix in your seasonings and binders. Next, remove the cutting blade and plate from the mincing head, insert the sausage stuffing horn with the worm screw, slide your soaked sausage casings over the nozzle, and feed the seasoned mince mixture through the hopper to fill casings smoothly.
