Frequently Asked Questions
What meat grinder knives and plates should I keep in stock?
Keep one coarse plate, one medium plate, and one fine plate plus two spare knives per grinder. This standard set of meat grinder knives and plates covers most grinding jobs from chili grind to hamburger grind to sausage-fine texture.
How do I match meat grinder knives and plates to my grinder?
Match meat grinder knives and plates by grinder size designation: #8, #12, #22, #32, or #42. A #22 plate will not fit a #32 head, so confirm the number stamped on your Meat Grinders before ordering.
Which hole sizes do meat grinder plates come in?
Meat grinder plates come in holes from 3 mm (fine) up to 12 mm or larger (coarse). 3-4 mm suits sausages and fine grinds, 6-8 mm suits hamburger, and 10-12 mm handles chili grind and first-pass coarse grinding.
Are stainless steel meat grinder knives and plates worth it?
Yes. Stainless steel meat grinder knives and plates resist corrosion, meet Canadian food safety standards, and stay sharp longer than plated carbon steel. The upfront cost pays back in reduced replacement frequency.
When should meat grinder knives and plates be replaced?
Meat grinder knives and plates last six months to two years depending on volume. Also check your Sausage Spouts for Meat Grinders when refreshing wear parts to keep the full grinder running cleanly.
Does Zanduco Canada stock matching meat grinder knives and plates for common brands?
Meat grinder knives and plates on Zanduco Canada are stocked for Omcan grinders in every common size. Match replacement knives and plates to your grinder's size number for guaranteed fit.
Should meat grinder knives and plates be sharpened or replaced?
Replace meat grinder knives and plates rather than sharpen. Professional sharpening services exist, but the cost often equals new replacement parts, and an in-house edge rarely matches factory specification for commercial grinding performance.
