Tre Spade Sausage Filler Star 8 7L

The Tre Spade Star 8 – 7L Sausage Filler is a well-built Italian unit designed for steady, reliable sausage making. The 7-litre capacity suits medium batches, giving plenty of room for fresh mixes while keeping the barrel easy to handle and clean. The stainless steel construction, metal gears and solid frame give the filler a strong working presence, ideal for everything from thin breakfast sausages to thick salamis.

The upright design helps maintain a consistent flow as you crank, while the piston’s pressure plate and seal support even movement of the mix with minimal air pockets. The barrel lifts out completely for cleaning, and the handle turns smoothly without excessive effort, making it suitable for repeated use throughout the year.
