Matador Heavy Duty Meat Mincer TC32

The Matador TC32 is a heavy-duty bench mincer rated at 320 kg an hour through a #32 head, with a reversing function to clear a jam without stripping the machine down. A single-handle locking mechanism releases the all-stainless chamber for cleaning, and it ships with 6 mm and 8 mm mesh plates and a knife. It is a 415 V three-phase machine.

Why operators choose the TC32

• 320 kg/hour through a #32 head — genuine butcher-scale throughput rather than a back-of-house top-up machine
• Reversing function — back the auger off a jam instead of dismantling the head mid-service — the feature that decides how much downtime a mincer costs you
• Single-handle chamber release — the chamber comes off in one movement for cleaning, which is what makes daily strip-down realistic
• All stainless steel chamber — built to current US and EC safety standards, and cleans down properly
• 6 mm and 8 mm mesh plates plus a knife supplied — two grind grades from the box — coarse for sausage, finer for mince
• Handles frozen product — it will crush and cut frozen meat down rather than being limited to fresh
• Heat-free operation — the drive does not cook the product as it passes, which protects both texture and shelf life
• 66 kg of machine — the mass that stops a mincer walking across the bench under load

Specifications

Venue suitability

The TC32 suits butchers, smallgoods producers, delis, caterers and restaurants mincing in house. Two things decide the purchase: it needs 415 V three-phase power, and its stated height is measured to the top of the plunger, so check both against your bench before ordering.

Installation & delivery

This is a 415 V three-phase appliance and cannot be plugged into a normal outlet. Three-phase supply is common in purpose-built commercial kitchens but absent from many retail tenancies, so confirm it is available at the install position before ordering and have a licensed electrician make the connection. Note the quoted 585 mm height is measured to the top of the plunger, so allow more clearance than the figure suggests if it sits under a shelf. At 66 kg it is a two-person lift onto the bench. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 1-year parts and labour warranty — see our warranty information page for full terms.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can the TC32 be plugged in? A: No. It is a 415V three-phase machine and must be connected by a licensed electrician. Three-phase is common in purpose-built kitchens and butchers but absent from many retail tenancies, so confirm before ordering.

Q: What does the reversing function do? A: It backs the auger off in the opposite direction to clear a jam. Without it, a jammed mincer has to be dismantled — which in the middle of a production run is the difference between a minute and half an hour.

Q: What plates are included? A: 6mm and 8mm mesh plates and a single knife.

Q: Is a sausage-filling attachment included? A: No. Matador specifies that it does not come with one.

Q: Why is the height figure larger than expected? A: Because it is measured to the top of the plunger rather than the body of the machine. Allow for that if the mincer will sit beneath a shelf or overhead unit.

Q: What warranty applies? A: One year parts and labour.
