OMCAN #12 meat grinder plate 3.5mm is designed to help you achieve a consistent medium grind when replacing a worn or damaged grinder plate in compatible #12 equipment.
Built for busy prep environments as well as serious home kitchens, this hubless-style plate supports smooth workflow by making handling and cleaning simpler between batches. The 3.5mm hole size is commonly used for a medium texture that works well across a wide range of recipes—think balanced grind for burgers, sausage mixes, meatloaf, and other everyday applications where you want definition without large chunks.
Why this plate is a smart replacement
- Consistent results: A properly fitting plate helps the grinder cut cleanly for uniform output and better portioning.
- Medium grind versatility: 3.5mm holes are a go-to size for many general-purpose preparations.
- Hubless convenience: A hubless design can be easier to remove, wash, and sanitize during changeovers.
- Secure seating: Notched configurations are intended to help the plate stay aligned during operation.
Best practices for use
For best performance, pair the plate with a sharp knife/blade and avoid mixing heavily frozen product that can accelerate wear. After washing and drying, store the plate clean and dry to help maintain a smooth cutting surface over time. When you need a reliable, medium-grind option, OMCAN #12 meat grinder plate 3.5mm is a straightforward way to restore consistent output.
