Metcalfe TS22 Commercial Meat Mincer

The Metcalfe TS22 is a compact but capable commercial meat mincer built for operations that need reliable, consistent mince production without committing to a large floor-standing unit. Constructed from die-cast aluminium and stainless steel, it is designed to handle the demands of daily prep in butchers, delis, specialist food retailers, and kitchen prep sections that produce fresh mince regularly.

In practice, the TS22 performs well in busy prep environments where throughput requirements are meaningful but not industrial in scale. With a production rate of up to 300kg per hour, it comfortably handles the daily mince volumes typical of a quality butcher's counter, a restaurant producing fresh burger patties or meatballs in-house, or a deli kitchen preparing specialty mince products to order. The motor includes overload protection, which matters in sustained use — it reduces the risk of downtime caused by accidental overloading during heavy prep sessions.

From a practical standpoint, the TS22 is well thought out for a working kitchen environment:

• Grinding unit removes completely for thorough cleaning — important for food safety compliance
• Waterproof rubber cover over the on/off switch protects against moisture in wet prep areas
• Plastic base protection prevents moisture ingress to the motor and electrics
• Stainless steel tray and hopper are durable and straightforward to clean down
• 6mm mincing plate included as standard for immediate use

Installation is straightforward — the TS22 is a countertop unit requiring only a suitable power supply and stable worksurface. Its compact footprint makes it practical where bench space is limited, though operators should ensure the surface is secure and at an appropriate working height for feeding the hopper safely during extended runs. The 82mm mouth diameter suits whole muscle pieces fed at a reasonable size, so some pre-cutting of larger cuts should be expected as part of the workflow.

The TS22 is well suited to butchers, delis, farm shops, and smaller restaurant kitchens producing fresh mince daily at moderate volumes. It is not intended for continuous industrial-scale production — operations with very high daily throughput requirements or processing whole carcass volumes would be better served by a heavier-duty model with a larger throat and higher-output motor. Equally, for very low-volume or occasional use, a smaller entry-level mincer may represent better value.

If you are unsure whether the TS22 matches your production volumes or want to talk through how it would fit into your prep workflow, the team is happy to help you make the right call before you order.
