Compact grinding solution delivers precise particle control and consistent throughput for high-volume kitchens and processing lines. Designed for professional meat choppers, this plate features full-diameter holes sized for medium-coarse grind, enabling uniform output that supports reproducible recipes and predictable cook times. Operators will appreciate the durable composition and exact fit that minimize vibration and downtime during extended runs.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug the meat grinder and remove the plate and blade. Rinse parts under warm water. Soak in mild detergent and warm water for 10 minutes, then scrub with a soft brush through the 5/16" holes. Rinse thoroughly and air dry on a clean rack. Sanitize with an EPA-registered sanitizer per CSA guidelines before reassembly. Lubricate moving parts lightly and reinstall. Regular cleaning prevents contamination, fires, and equipment failure.#@@#Additional Info#@#Vollrath’s 40748 #12 grinder plate fits #12 meat grinders and has 5/16" holes for consistent grind size. Made from hardened stainless steel, it resists wear and weighs 0.4 pounds for easy installation and cleaning.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Compact grinding solution delivers precise particle control and consistent throughput for high-volume kitchens and processing lines.

#@@# Plate Size#@#
This plate measures 5/16 inches across each hole and fits #12 hub grinders, providing the targeted cut size facilities require for standard sausage blends and ground meat products. Chefs and operators gain repeatable texture that simplifies portioning and cooking consistency across shifts.
#@@# Hole Pattern#@#
The full-array hole configuration produces uniform particle distribution and reduces the incidence of oversized fragments, which improves packing density and yield control. Production managers observe more consistent fill levels in downstream casings and containers, reducing rework.
#@@# Material Strength#@#
Manufacturers constructed the plate from hardened stainless alloy that withstands abrasive contact and resists deformation under load, preserving hole geometry during prolonged use. Maintenance teams report extended service intervals and fewer replacements versus lower-grade alternatives.
#@@# Fit Accuracy#@#
Precision machining yields tight tolerances that ensure secure seating in #12 grinder heads, eliminating wobble and optimizing cutter engagement for efficient shearing. Technicians note reduced noise and lower motor strain, which prolongs drivetrain life.
#@@# Cleaning Access#@#
Smooth surfaces and straight hole walls facilitate mechanical and manual cleaning, supporting sanitation protocols and efficient turnaround between products. Quality control staff can verify cleanliness rapidly, aiding compliance with HACCP procedures.
