Switches and reversing switches are the electrical controls of the meat grinder: the switch handles on/off, while the reversing switch reverses the motor's direction of rotation to free the auger if it jams.

Switches: 4- or 6-contact (some with an LED indicator), for simple wiring or with a built-in light signal.

Reversing switches: available in single-phase and three-phase (16A or 25A), round-body or square-body (with protected contacts) — the current rating (16A/25A) should match the motor's draw.

Compatibility by brand: available for Fama (mod. 12/22 single-phase), Marwel (mix reversing switch), CGT (for TC AE/22-32R) and Bremas.

It depends on your meat grinder motor's draw: check the motor's rating plate before buying.

What's the reversing switch for on a meat grinder?
It reverses the motor's direction of rotation to free the auger when it jams on bones or tough meat.
