Matador Meat Mixer (Fit With Tc 8 Meat Grinder) FME02

The Matador FME02 is a 20-litre commercial meat mixer and marinator built for butchers, small-goods makers, and chefs who produce sausages, burger patties, or marinated cuts in daily runs. A forward/reverse/stop control, heat-resistant varnished steel body, and low-noise drive let it sit on a prep bench without disrupting service — and it mounts directly onto a TC-8, TC-12, or TC-22-5 mincer head when paired with the matching grinder for a compact mince-and-mix station.

Key features

• 20 L drum, 14 kg batch capacity — suited to 11–13.5 kg loads for even marination coverage
• Forward / reverse / stop control — reverse action pulls stringy mince off the blade for cleaner discharge
• Fits TC-8 / TC-12 / TC-22-5 mincer heads — shares footprint with Matador grinder line
• Steel structure with heat-resistant varnish — wipe-clean finish, resistant to salt/spice marinades
• 45 RPM steady mix speed — slow enough to preserve texture, fast enough for a 3–5 minute cycle

Specifications

Venue suitability

Suits butchers, delis, meal-prep kitchens, small-goods producers, and any commercial site marinating meat in batches. Not sized for production-line volumes above 15 kg per cycle — pair with a larger FME model if batch sizes push that ceiling regularly.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What batch size does the FME02 handle? A: The drum is 20 L with a 14 kg mixing capacity per cycle. For even marination, we recommend loading 11–13.5 kg — less than that and the paddle doesn't coat the meat evenly.

Q: Does it fit Matador or F.E.D grinders? A: Yes — the FME02 attaches directly to TC-8, TC-12, and TC-22-5 mincer heads. You can also run it standalone as a bench-top mixer.

Q: Can I use it for anything besides meat? A: It's built for meat + marinade / sauce / seasoning work. The forward/reverse paddle isn't designed for dough, batter, or dry blending — pick a planetary or spiral mixer for those jobs.

Q: Does it need three-phase power? A: No — the FME02 runs on standard Australian single-phase. Check the unit rating plate on delivery and confirm with your electrician for permanent installs.

Q: How much bench space does it need? A: Footprint is 720 mm wide × 280 mm deep × 420 mm tall. Allow another 50 mm behind for airflow and 400 mm clearance above for lid removal.

Q: What's the warranty and what does "Return to Base" mean? A: 12 months Return to Base — faults get repaired at our Granville NSW workshop rather than via on-site callout. We arrange freight from your site for warranty claims; register the product within 14 days of invoice to activate cover.
