Meissner Frozen Block Mincer

• Processing large frozen meat blocks into smaller, manageable pieces for further processing.
• Initial size reduction of frozen food products in large-scale food manufacturing.
• Preparing ingredients for sausage production, pet food manufacturing, or ready meal components.
• Breaking down frozen fish blocks prior to filleting or mincing.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 1,000 kg/hr to 3,000 kg/hr, depending on block size and desired output.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a robust 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate amperage for high-power motors.

Construction material

As stated, this unit is all stainless steel, which is standard for food processing machinery to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Feed mechanism

The presence of a loader indicates suitability for automated or semi-automated feeding of frozen blocks, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

Suitable feed size

Frozen block mincers are designed to process standard frozen Euro blocks or similar dimensions, typically up to 600x400x200mm.

Output particle size

The final particle size is determined by the cutting plate and knife configuration, which can typically be changed to suit specific product requirements.

• What is the primary benefit of a frozen block mincer over a standard meat grinder?

  Frozen block mincers are specifically engineered with more robust motors and cutting mechanisms to handle solid frozen blocks directly, avoiding the need for thawing or pre-breaking, which saves time and maintains product quality.

• What maintenance is typically required for a Meissner WW200?

• Can this machine process products other than meat?

• What safety features are common on a frozen block mincer like this?

• What should I consider regarding installation?

Meat grinders are valued for reliable, efficient processing in professional food operations. Buyers typically prioritise robust construction, consistent grinding performance and ease of cleaning when selecting used models. Industry sentiment favours equipment with proven durability records and minimal maintenance requirements. Key considerations include motor power, output capacity and blade condition, as these factors significantly impact operational efficiency. Well-maintained grinders from established manufacturers generally command confidence in the secondhand market, offering good value for facilities seeking cost-effective processing solutions.
