Anvil MGT3012 Heavy Duty Meat Mincer

The Anvil MGT3012 is a heavy-duty meat mincer rated at 130 kg an hour that arrives genuinely well equipped: a sausage filler funnel and spacer, four plates (4.5, 6, 9 and 12 mm) and three knives — a 2-blade, a 3-blade and a 4-blade. It has forward and reverse and a stainless steel safety guard. One operating limit to plan around: the manufacturer says to allow it to cool after one hour of continuous use.

Why operators choose the ICE-MGT3012

• Allow to cool after 1 hour of continuous use — the manufacturer's own instruction and the most important line on the page. This is a duty-cycle limit, not a fault - if you mince for three hours straight you will shorten the motor's life
• Four plates and three knives in the box — 4.5, 6, 9 and 12 mm plates plus 2-blade, 3-blade and 4-blade knives. That is the full working set, not a starter plate
• Sausage filler funnel and spacer supplied — it fills sausage as well as mincing, without a separate machine or a separate order
• 130 kg per hour — genuine volume for a bench mincer. For comparison the Matador TC8 we carry runs 80 kg/h and the AK32MG 200 kg/h
• Forward AND reverse — back the auger off a jam rather than stripping the head mid-service. On a mincer this is the feature you use most
• Stainless steel safety guard — the guard is what makes it operable by kitchen staff rather than by a trained operator
• 560 W on a standard 10 A outlet — no electrical work, and it shares a circuit comfortably at about 2.3 A

Specifications

Venue suitability

The MGT3012 suits butchers, delis, cafes and restaurants mincing in batches and making their own sausage. The accessory set is the real value here — four plates, three knives and a filler funnel would be a significant separate spend on most machines.

Installation & delivery

It runs from a standard 10 A power point, so no electrical work is required. At 560 W it draws about 2.3 A. Note the dimensions are recorded width x height x depth: 600 mm wide, 310 mm tall, 260 mm deep — a wide, shallow footprint. Allow clearance in front for a receiving tray. Brief your staff on the one-hour duty cycle: it is the single most likely way this machine is damaged, and it is not obvious from looking at it. Our data records no weight for this model.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What does 'allow to cool after 1 hour' actually mean?

It is a duty-cycle limit. The motor is rated for an hour of continuous mincing, after which it needs time off to shed heat. It is not a fault or a warranty condition as stated, but running straight through a four-hour production session will shorten the motor's life. Plan your mincing in blocks, or step up to a machine rated for continuous duty.

Q: What comes with it?

Four plates (4.5, 6, 9 and 12 mm), three knives (2-blade, 3-blade and 4-blade), and a sausage filler funnel with spacer. That is an unusually complete set - most mincers ship with one plate and one knife.

Q: How does it compare with the Matador mincers?

Throughput and kit. The MGT3012 runs 130 kg/h and includes four plates, three knives and a sausage funnel. The Matador TC8 runs 80 kg/h with two plates, a knife and a sausage attachment; the AK32MG runs 200 kg/h with a larger #32 head. Match the throughput to your volume, then compare what is in the box.

Q: Why do the different knives matter?

Blade count affects the cut and how the machine copes with different products. Having a 2, 3 and 4-blade knife lets you match the knife to the plate and the product rather than forcing one combination to do everything.

Q: Does it need special wiring?

No. 0.56 kW at 240 V from a standard 10 A power point.

Q: What warranty does the ICE-MGT3012 come with?

Covered for 12 months. Our records state the duration but not whether labour is included, so confirm the exact cover with our team before ordering rather than assuming it. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
