Metcalfe TS22 Commercial Meat Mincer

The Metcalfe TS22 is a countertop commercial meat mincer built for operations that need consistent, reliable mince production without the footprint or cost of a floor-standing unit. Constructed from die-cast aluminium and stainless steel, it is a practical choice for butchers' counters, deli kitchens, farm shops, and restaurant prep sections that produce fresh mince as part of their daily routine.

In a busy prep environment, the TS22 performs well at meaningful throughput levels. It handles the daily volumes typical of a quality butcher producing fresh mince to order, a restaurant making burger patties or meatballs in-house, or a deli preparing specialty mince products across a service week. The motor includes overload protection, which is worth noting for sustained use — it reduces the risk of unplanned downtime during heavy prep sessions without requiring operator intervention.

From a practical standpoint, the TS22 is well considered for a working kitchen:

• Grinding unit removes fully for thorough cleaning, supporting food safety compliance
• Waterproof rubber switch cover protects electrics in wet prep environments
• Plastic base protection reduces moisture ingress risk to the motor
• Stainless steel tray and hopper are durable and straightforward to clean down
• 6mm mincing plate included as standard for immediate use out of the box

Installation is simple — the TS22 needs only a stable countertop and a suitable power supply. Its compact footprint suits kitchens where bench space is at a premium, though operators should ensure the worksurface is secure and positioned at a safe working height for feeding the hopper during extended runs. Larger cuts will need some pre-trimming before feeding, which is worth factoring into your prep 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 designed for continuous high-volume or whole-carcass processing — operations with significantly higher daily throughput would be better served by a heavier-duty model with a larger throat capacity. Equally, for very occasional or low-volume use, a smaller entry-level unit may represent better value.

If you want to talk through whether the TS22 is the right fit for your production volumes or prep setup, the team is glad to help you work it out before you commit.
