Omcan Stuffing Plate 3 Holes for #22 Meat Grinder

This plate is sized specifically for the #22 industry-standard meat grinder head, which is the most common heavy-duty butcher grinder format. It will not fit #12, #32, or other plate sizes.

The three open holes let pre-ground meat pass through without further cutting, which is exactly what's needed when fitting a sausage stuffing tube to the grinder head. Using a regular grinding plate over the cutter knife re-cuts the meat and damages texture.

Yes, always remove the cutter blade before fitting the stuffing plate, since the knife isn't needed during stuffing and will be damaged against the plate. The plate, stuffing tube, and ground meat are the only items required at the head during stuffing.

Wash immediately after use with hot soapy water, dry fully, then apply a light food-safe mineral oil before storage. Stainless plates rust quickly if left damp with meat residue.

Running multiple stuffing tube diameters or moving fast between sausage types means swapping plates frequently, so a backup keeps the line moving. Pair with the broader butcher equipment and supplies catalogue for full sausage kits.

Never run frozen blocks of meat through a grinder fitted with this plate, since the plate is not designed for cutting. Always thaw meat to refrigerator temperature first, and never reach near a running grinder head.

Match it to grinding plates, cutter knives, and stuffing tubes from the same #22 family in the meat grinders and accessories range to build a complete production kit.
