Matador 7L Sausage Filler SV-7

The Matador SV-7 is a 7 litre manual sausage filler in full stainless steel. Manual, heat-free operation is the point: there is no motor to warm the mix, and warm mix is what causes fat smear and a poor bind. It takes a 140 mm diameter by 460 mm cylinder and comes with four stainless funnels — 16, 22, 32 and 38 mm diameter, so you can run everything from thin breakfast sausage to thick continental.

Why operators choose the SV-7

• Heat-free manual operation — no motor means no heat into the mix. Fat smear from a warm emulsion is the most common cause of a greasy, crumbly sausage, and a hand filler simply cannot cause it
• Four funnels included - 16, 22, 32 and 38 mm diameter — the whole useful range in the box, not an upsell. Thin breakfast links through to thick continental off one machine
• 7 litre / 7 kg cylinder — a solid batch between refills for a butcher or a smallgoods bench
• Fully stainless steel — the correct material for a food-contact vessel that gets stripped and washed daily
• 140 mm diameter x 460 mm cylinder — published so you can judge the fill stroke and the bench clearance you will need
• Designed to the latest US and EC safety standards — the manufacturer's stated compliance
• RoHS certification — stated restriction-of-hazardous-substances compliance
• No power point required — it goes wherever the bench space is - useful in a cramped prep area

Specifications

Venue suitability

The SV-7 suits butchers, delis, smallgoods producers and restaurants making their own sausage in batches rather than by the tonne. Because it is manual it needs no power point and cannot heat the mix — two real advantages over a powered filler at this scale.

Installation & delivery

Nothing to install — it is manual and needs no power point or plumbing. Allow 300 x 340 mm of bench footprint and 830 mm of height above the bench, which is the figure people forget: an overhead shelf will stop the handle travelling. At 13 kg it is a one-person lift, so it can be stored off the bench between runs.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Why choose a manual filler over a powered one?

Heat. A motor warms the mix, and warm mix smears the fat, which gives you a greasy sausage with a poor bind. A hand filler physically cannot do that. At batch scale the trade-off - your arm instead of a motor - is usually worth it.

Q: Which funnels come with it?

Four stainless steel funnels: 16, 22, 32 and 38 mm diameter. That covers thin breakfast links through to thick continental sausage, so you should not need to buy more for general work.

Q: How much does it hold?

7 litres, which the manufacturer rates as 7 kg of mix. The cylinder is 140 mm in diameter and 460 mm long.

Q: Does it need a power point?

No. It is entirely manual, so it can sit anywhere you have bench space.

Q: How much clearance does it need above the bench?

It stands 830 mm tall and the handle travels above that, so do not site it under a shelf or wall cupboard. Check the height before you commit the position.

Q: What warranty does the SV-7 come with?

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