This range covers the Tre Spade mincers from the #8 at 0.4HP up to the #32 at 1.5HP. It also carries the Foodtek #22 at that same 1.5HP and Foodtek is ButcherQuip's own equipment brand. The Tre Spade machines are made in Italy and the motor gets bigger as the model number goes up so the #8 suits a smaller batch and the #32 is built for heavier work. Some people call this machine a mincer and some call it a grinder and either word gets you to the same range.
Every Tre Spade mincer shares its head number with matching parts. A Tre Spade #22 takes #22 holeplates and a #22 knife, and the same goes for the Tre Spade #8, #12 and #32. Holeplates range from a fine 4.5mm up to a coarse 20mm and the exact sizes on offer depend on which mincer you have. A Tre Spade funnel kit turns a Tre Spade mincer into a sausage filler and each kit is sized to match its own machine from the #8 up to the #32.
