Meat grinder FIMAR T22REF-unger

A refrigerated meat mincer keeps the grinding unit and hopper chilled so fat stays firm and meat slides cleanly through the blades without smearing. The T22 by FIMAR adds a cooling jacket around the hopper and feeding neck, maintaining a steady +4 °C while the motor drives the auger that pushes meat into the cutting head. This controlled temperature prevents the fat from melting, giving a consistent, crumbly texture rather than a pasty mass, and extends the working life of the blades by reducing heat build-up.

The operator loads the refrigerated hopper with whole cuts or trimmings, sets the desired grinding plate, and starts the motor. Meat is drawn down the chilled neck by the auger, forced through the plate, and emerges as minced product. If the plate jams, the reverse function clears the blockage without dismantling. Frontal controls keep the start, stop and reverse buttons within reach while the operator feeds the machine.

The grinding unit and casing are built in stainless steel AISI 304 for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. The UNGER system allows quick side-locking of the grinding head, so plates and knives can be changed in seconds without tools. Low-voltage controls reduce electrical risk in a wet environment.

A capacity of 250 kg per hour suits medium-volume production without taking excessive worktop space; the footprint of 270 × 410 mm fits on most stainless-steel benches. The 1.1 kW motor runs on either 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase, so it can be connected to standard kitchen circuits. At 48 kg the unit is light enough to be moved by two people but stable on a worktop.

Cleaning follows the stainless-steel construction: the hopper, neck and grinding head are removed, washed in warm water with mild detergent, rinsed and dried before reassembly. The reverse function helps flush out any remaining meat particles after the main wash.

The T22 is part of the refrigerated mincer range in the FIMAR catalogue.
