#12 Mincer Holeplate 4.5mm

This No.12 Mincer Holeplate in 4.5mm stainless steel is designed for preparing finer mince with a smooth, uniform finish. The 4.5mm size is a popular choice for sausages, burger blends and general meat preparation where a closer grain is preferred.

Made from high-quality stainless steel, the plate resists rust and wear, seats securely in all standard No.12 heads and pairs correctly with any No.12 knife. Clean perforations help the meat pass through with consistent pressure, reducing smear and supporting a tidy result.

Whether you’re processing meat at home, on the farm or in a small butcher setting, a fresh plate ensures the mincer cuts cleanly and maintains good texture across repeated batches.
