Meat grinder FIMAR BHS-12AT

The FIMAR 12AT is a combined meat mincer and grater, identified by article number BHS-12AT. This appliance is designed to process meat and grate ingredients.

The mincing function operates by feeding meat through a grinding unit. This unit typically consists of a rotating screw that pushes the meat towards a perforated plate. A sharp knife, positioned against the plate, cuts the meat as it is forced through the holes. The FIMAR 12AT features a stainless steel grinding unit, a 6 mm stainless steel plate, and a self-sharpening stainless steel knife. It also includes a reverse function to help clear blockages. The drive mechanism is an oiled gear motor.

The grater section processes ingredients using a rotating roller. This roller, made of stainless steel in the FIMAR 12AT, has abrasive surfaces that shred or grate the food as it passes over. The grater has a polished aluminium inlet measuring 140x75 mm and is equipped with a lower protection grid and a microswitch on the pusher for safety.

Operation involves loading the meat into the hopper and activating the mincer. For the grater, ingredients are placed in the inlet and processed.

The grater roller is stainless steel.

Controls are not explicitly detailed beyond the mention of a reverse function and a microswitch on the grater pusher.

The power rating of 0.75 kW indicates the electrical load this appliance will place on the supply. The dimensions are 605 mm in length, 305 mm in width, and 600 mm in height, defining its footprint. The weight of 30 kg provides an indication of its stability and how it is handled. The unit operates on a 230 V, 3-phase electrical supply.

Cleaning would involve the removable stainless steel grinding unit and the stainless steel grater roller. The stainless steel plate and knife are also components requiring cleaning.
