    Meat mincer recommendations

    Any recommendations here?
    Farmlands have one that looks pretty decent for $600 ish.
    Been told your normal briscoes type doesn’t handle venison too well?
    Cheers

    Zeropak TC12 has been a fantastic machine for me.
    1st mincer was a briscos type, wore out the plastic gears on that.
    2nd was good. Internals made from chinesium*, eventually the worm spur broke.
    3rd and current is TC12. Loads of torque and it's easy to clean. All the internal edges are deburred, small details like that made a difference!

    *most prevalent metal know to man. An allow made from iron, aliminium, bits of scrap and possibly cats that fell into the casting.

    You get what you pay for with mincers. Talk to Craig at zeropak he'll give you really good advice

    What he said. Don't piss around. All you are doing is delaying the inevitable and spending money on junk that will eventually let you down. Go the TC12

    I've got a zeropak TC8 and it's fantastic, my first mincer from briscoes needed class 5 earmuffs to use.

    @zeropak I grabbed your pattie maker recently, works a bloody treat!!! Big grunty pattie at approx 170 grams. I just cut them in have to make two thinner Pattie’s for the kids. A lot cheaper than the normal pattie makers

    Thanks for that we always appreciate the feedback. The Pattie maker is hard to keep in stock, they sell out fast. Agreed on the Pattie size. We are trying to get the factory to make a smaller version for the "not so large" consumer.

    Ive got a Kenwood Pro 2000 but the Farmlands one looks like a good option too.
    The Kenwood is $100 cheaper than the Farmlands one.
    The Kenwood is 850W compared to 750W.
    We put heaps through the mincer, have just done 12kg in a few minutes. Have had it for about 10 years.
    I bring venison home, blink twice and my wife has put it all through the mincer, vacuum packed it and given it to relatives, friends, neighbours, passing tradesman and vagrants. It's an endless cycle. Love it.
