  SHAFT

  <p>The auger shaft transmits motion to the auger and supports the drive gears inside the meat mincer's grinding unit.</p><p><strong>How to choose the right part</strong>: check the machine's <strong>size</strong> (8, 12, 22, 32) and the brand — shafts are not interchangeable between different sizes, and often not even between different brands of the same size.</p><p><strong>Available versions</strong>: some models distinguish between an <strong>old</strong> and a new version (e.g. Abo mod. 22), or combine several functions (e.g. Fama, shared auger shaft/driving pin 12/22).</p><p><strong>Compatibility by brand</strong>: available for Abo, AMB, Bizerba, Fama, Fimar and CEG (mod. TE22).</p><p>For other meat mincer spare parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Spare Parts for Meat Mincers</a>.</p><p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p><p><strong>Does a shaft from one brand fit a meat mincer of another brand in the same size?</strong><br>Not always: always check the exact brand and model, as coupling measurements can differ even within the same size.</p><p><strong>How do I know if the shaft needs replacing?</strong><br>Typical symptoms are excessive play in the transmission or abnormal noise during grinding.</p>

  CUSCINETTO

  <p>Bearings and thrust bearings for the meat grinder's transmission shaft and drive pin hub, where the axial load generated by grinding requires dedicated components.</p> <p><strong>Standard bearings</strong>: identified by international codes from recognised brands such as <strong>NSK</strong> and <strong>SKF</strong> (e.g. NSK6203 DU, SKF Z51205) — the code printed on the original bearing is the most reliable reference for replacement.</p> <p><strong>Thrust bearings</strong>: absorb the axial load generated by the auger's push during grinding (e.g. mod. 51204, 51305, 16005) — a different bearing type from normal radial bearings, not interchangeable with them.</p> <p><strong>Other types</strong>: tapered roller bearings (e.g. 31305) and roller bearings (e.g. INA 81111TN), for applications with combined radial and axial loads.</p> <p>For other meat grinder parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Meat Grinder Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>What's the difference between a normal bearing and a thrust bearing?</strong><br>The thrust bearing is designed to absorb axial load (along the rotation axis), typical of the auger's push; a normal radial bearing isn't suited to this kind of stress.</p> <p><strong>How do I find the code of the bearing I'm replacing?</strong><br>It's printed on the side of the original bearing (e.g. 6203 DU, 51204): it's the most reliable reference for ordering the correct part.</p>

  COCLEA

  <p>The auger is the worm screw that pushes meat toward the knife and perforated plate of the meat grinder, inside the grinding mouth.</p> <p><strong>Available materials</strong>: <strong>cast iron</strong> (sturdy, traditional), <strong>stainless steel</strong> (corrosion-resistant, better suited to frequent washing) and <strong>aluminium</strong> (lighter) — the correct material depends on your machine's original model.</p> <p><strong>How to choose the right part</strong>: check the <strong>size</strong> (the most common models are 8, 12 and 22) and the brand — on some Fama models the same auger is also used for the matching grating assembly.</p> <p><strong>Compatibility by brand</strong>: available for AMB, CEG (mod. TG22/T22), Fama and Fimar, in all three sizes and materials where available.</p> <p>For other meat grinder parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Meat Grinder Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>What material should I choose for my auger?</strong><br>The correct material is the one originally fitted on your machine; stainless steel is preferable for frequent washing, cast iron for traditional intensive use.</p> <p><strong>Does the meat grinder's auger also fit the matching grater?</strong><br>On some Fama models yes, the same auger serves both the meat grinder and the connected grating assembly — always check specific compatibility.</p>

  KNIFE BLADE

  <p>The knife works together with the perforated plate: rotating against it, it cuts the meat as it is pushed through the holes.</p><p><strong>Self-sharpening knife</strong>: keeps its cutting edge longer in use than a traditional knife (e.g. Salvador, stainless steel, for sizes 8/12/22/32).</p><p><strong>Other versions</strong>: <strong>brazed</strong> knife (mod. 42, longer-lasting edge), <strong>double-cut</strong> (mod. 32, double cutting surface), <strong>fixed-blade</strong> (Unger).</p><p><strong>How to choose the right part</strong>: check the exact size of your machine (8, 12, 22, 32, 42) — knives are not interchangeable between different sizes.</p><p>For the matching plate see <a href="/en/perforated-plate-for-meat-grinder.html">Perforated Plate for Meat Mincer</a>; for other spare parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Spare Parts for Meat Mincers</a>.</p><p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p><p><strong>What does "self-sharpening knife" mean?</strong><br>It's designed to keep its cutting edge longer in use, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.</p><p><strong>Do I need to replace the plate together with the knife?</strong><br>Not necessarily, but if both are worn the grinding quality suffers: check the condition of both before deciding.</p>

  FUNNELS

  <p>The funnel attaches directly to the meat grinder's mouth to fill the casing and form sausages and cured meats, without needing a separate sausage stuffer.</p> <p><strong>How to choose the right spare part</strong>: check the machine's <strong>size</strong> (5, 8, 12, 22) and the <strong>outlet diameter</strong> (from 15 to 30mm) — a larger diameter for wider casings, a smaller one for thin sausages.</p> <p><strong>Round hopper</strong>: a round hopper (56mm opening) is also available for feeding the meat grinder.</p> <p>For other meat grinder spare parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Spare Parts for Meat Mincers</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>How do I choose the right funnel diameter?</strong><br>It depends on the calibre of the casing you use: wider casings need a larger outlet diameter.</p> <p><strong>Does the funnel from model 12 fit model 22?</strong><br>No, each size has its own mount at the meat grinder's mouth: always check the exact size of your machine.</p>

  INGRANAGGI

  <p>The gear transmits motion from the motor to the meat grinder's auger: it's one of the parts most prone to wear, since it works under load every time the machine meets tough meat, small bones or an excessive load.</p> <p><strong>Available materials</strong>: <strong>fibre</strong> or <strong>nylon</strong> — materials deliberately weaker than steel, designed to break first in case of overload or jamming, acting as a mechanical fuse that protects the motor — or <strong>bronze</strong> and <strong>iron</strong>, more durable but without this protective function: if the gear is no longer the part that breaks, a jam transfers the strain to the motor.</p> <p><strong>How to choose the right part</strong>: each gear is specific to a machine size (the most common models are 8, 12, 22 and 32) and must be matched by number of teeth (marked with the letter <strong>Z</strong>, e.g. Z51, Z60, Z68), outer diameter, centre hole diameter and thickness. Models from different brands — ABM, AMB, Artex, Bizerba, CEG, CGT, Fama, Fimar, Marwel and others — often share the same size (e.g. mod.22) but are not automatically interchangeable: the same four measurements matter.</p> <p>Looking for the gear for a slicer or a mixer? See <a href="/en/gear.html">Gear for Slicer</a> or <a href="/en/gear-for-kitchen-mixer.html">Gear for Mixer</a>. For other meat grinder parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Meat Grinder Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>Why does the fibre or nylon gear break so often?</strong><br>It's intentional: these materials are deliberately weaker than steel, so in case of overload or jamming the gear (cheap to replace) breaks instead of the motor.</p> <p><strong>Is it worth replacing it with a metal one to make it last longer?</strong><br>It lasts longer, but loses its protective function: in case of a jam, the overload transfers to the motor, risking damage.</p> <p><strong>How do I measure the gear I'm replacing?</strong><br>Count the teeth (to find the Z code), measure outer diameter, hole diameter and thickness: these are the four figures you need to find the right part.</p>

  SWITCHES AND REVERSING SWITCHES

  <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Switches</strong>: 4- or 6-contact (some with an LED indicator), for simple wiring or with a built-in light signal.</p> <p><strong>Reversing switches</strong>: available in single-phase and three-phase (16A or 25A), round-body or square-body (with protected contacts) &mdash; the current rating (16A/25A) should match the motor's draw.</p> <p><strong>Compatibility by brand</strong>: available for Fama (mod. 12/22 single-phase), Marwel (mix reversing switch), CGT (for TC AE/22-32R) and Bremas.</p> <p>For other meat grinder spare parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Spare Parts for Meat Grinders</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>How do I choose the right current rating for the reversing switch (16A or 25A)?</strong><br>It depends on your meat grinder motor's draw: check the motor's rating plate before buying.</p> <p><strong>What's the reversing switch for on a meat grinder?</strong><br>It reverses the motor's direction of rotation to free the auger when it jams on bones or tough meat.</p>

  OIL SEAL FOR MEAT MINCER

  <p>The meat mincer oil seal is the sealing ring fitted on the auger shaft: it stops grease and meat residue reaching the motor, and retains the transmission oil where present.</p> <p><strong>How to choose the correct spare part</strong>: what matters is the <strong>inner diameter</strong>, <strong>outer diameter</strong> and <strong>thickness</strong> (e.g. 40-25-7, 25-35-7, 40-25-6) — measurements specific to each brand, including Fama and Fimar. Dedicated transmission oil is also available for maintenance.</p> <p><strong>Sign of wear</strong>: grease seepage or meat residue reaching the motor/gearbox assembly signals that the oil seal needs replacing.</p> <p>For other meat mincer spare parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Spare Parts for Meat Mincers</a>. For the slicer oil seal see <a href="/en/oil-seals.html">Oil Seals for Slicer</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>How do I measure the oil seal to replace?</strong><br>Inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness of the original part, compared against the sizes available in the range.</p> <p><strong>Is it the same oil seal as the slicer?</strong><br>No, these are dedicated components for different machines with specific measurements: always check the one for your meat mincer.</p>

  PERNO COLTELLO

  <p>The knife pin is the central shaft that drives the meat grinder's knife in rotation, fitting into the auger and the grinding assembly.</p> <p><strong>How to choose the right part</strong>: the pin is specific to the <strong>machine size</strong> (the most common models are 8, 12, 22 and 32) and to the brand — even at the same size, pins from different brands are often not interchangeable due to different length or drive profile.</p> <p><strong>Compatibility by brand</strong>: available for AMB, Fimar, Fama (including the new-type version), ABO and Artex, in all sizes 8/12/22/32.</p> <p>For other meat grinder parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Meat Grinder Spare Parts</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>How do I know if the knife pin needs replacing?</strong><br>Typical symptoms are excessive play between knife and plate, uneven grinding, or meat coming out crushed instead of cut.</p> <p><strong>Does a pin from one brand fit a meat grinder from another brand of the same size?</strong><br>Not always: check length and drive profile, which can differ even at the same size (e.g. 22) between different manufacturers.</p>
• 

  PERFORATED PLATE

  <p>The perforated plate works together with the knife: the meat is pushed through the holes while the rotating knife cuts it, determining the final grind size.</p> <p><strong>How to choose the correct part</strong>: check the machine <strong>size</strong> (8, 12, 22, 32, 42) and the <strong>hole diameter</strong> (from 4.5 to 10mm) — smaller holes give a finer grind, larger holes a coarser one.</p> <p><strong>One or two notches</strong>: the <strong>notches</strong> are the slots on the edge of the plate that lock it in rotation — check how many the original plate has, as they are not interchangeable between one- and two-notch versions.</p> <p><strong>Available versions</strong>: standard plate or <strong>SLX</strong> (reinforced version), also available braze-welded for longer durability.</p> <p>For other meat grinder spare parts go back to <a href="/en/spare-parts-for-meat-mincers.html">Spare Parts for Meat Mincers</a>.</p> <p><strong>Frequently asked questions</strong></p> <p><strong>How do I choose the right hole diameter?</strong><br>It depends on the desired grind: small holes for a fine mince, large holes for a coarser one — also check what knife is paired with it.</p> <p><strong>Why does the plate need notches?</strong><br>The notches lock the plate in rotation during grinding: without the correct number of notches, the plate won't seat correctly in the grinder's mouth.</p>
