Why a 400 mm industrial grinder
At the core of the machine is a large Ø400 mm grinding system, engineered for extremely high production capacity while keeping product handling gentle. The design keeps temperature increase during grinding low and delivers excellent particle definition – two factors that directly affect yield, shelf life, and the quality of the finished product in continuous industrial production.
Construction
The ChunkMaster 400 features a robust stainless-steel frame, a heavy-duty feed screw, and an industrial transmission designed for continuous operation in large meat processing facilities. Its feeding system ensures smooth, uniform product flow while minimizing compression of the meat, helping to preserve natural muscle structure and improve final product quality. The hygienic stainless-steel construction also allows easy access for cleaning and maintenance.
Cutting system
The grinder can be configured with various Unger cutting systems, allowing particle sizes ranging from coarse pre-grinding to fine grinding, depending on the knives and plates installed – giving processors flexibility to match output to the specific product being run.
