Matador 15L Sausage Filler SV-15

The Matador SV-15 is a 15 litre manual sausage filler — 15 kg of mix, no power required, and heat-free operation, which is the point: a motorised filler warms the mix and smears the fat. It is fully stainless steel with a 219 mm diameter x 400 mm cylinder, and it comes with four stainless funnels — 16, 22, 32 and 38 mm. It carries ROHS certification and is designed to current US and EC safety standards.

Why operators choose the SV-15

• Manual and heat-free — the reason charcuterie makers choose a manual filler: no motor warming the mix, so the fat stays emulsified instead of smearing. Nothing to fail electrically either
• Four stainless funnels included — 16, 22, 32 and 38 mm - covering thin breakfast sausage through to thick bratwurst without an accessory order
• 15 litres / 15 kg per fill — a real production batch rather than a few kilos, so you are not refilling constantly through a run
• 219 mm x 400 mm cylinder — the cylinder dimensions are published, so you can work out fill volumes and cleaning access before you buy
• Fully stainless steel — every surface that touches raw mix washes down properly - which on a sausage filler is the whole hygiene argument
• ROHS certified and built to US and EC safety standards — stated compliance rather than implied
• No power point needed — it works anywhere, including a cool room or an outdoor processing area
• 17 kg on a 300 mm footprint — light enough for one person to move and store between production runs

Specifications

Venue suitability

The SV-15 suits butchers, smallgoods producers, charcuterie makers, delis and restaurants making their own sausage. Because it is manual it also suits a cool room or an outdoor processing area where you would rather not run power, and it keeps the mix cold while you work.

Installation & delivery

This unit needs no electrical supply. There is nothing to install or connect. At 17 kg it is a one-person lift, and it stands 710 mm tall, so check clearance if it is going under a shelf. The whole unit is stainless and comes apart for washing, so site it near a sink. Keep the mix cold: a manual filler's advantage over a motorised one is that it does not add heat, and that only helps if the mix goes in cold.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Is the SV-15 manual or powered?

Manual, and deliberately so. The manufacturer describes it as heat-free operation. A motorised filler warms the mix as it works, which smears the fat and spoils the texture - a manual filler does not. It also means there is nothing to fail electrically and no power point required.

Q: What funnels come with it?

Four stainless steel funnels at 16, 22, 32 and 38 mm - enough range to cover thin breakfast sausage through to thick bratwurst without buying anything extra.

Q: How much mix does it hold?

15 litres, which the manufacturer equates to 15 kg, in a cylinder measuring 219 mm in diameter by 400 mm.

Q: Is it suitable for a cool room?

Yes - and that is one of its advantages. With no motor and no power requirement it can be used wherever it suits your workflow, including a cool room, which helps keep the mix at temperature while you work.

Q: What is it made from?

Fully stainless steel, with ROHS certification and built to current US and EC safety standards.

Q: What warranty does the SV-15 come with?

Covered for 1 year on a return-to-base basis, which means the unit goes back for service rather than a technician attending site. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
