Trespade Meat Mincer (0.65hp) No.12 – Compact & High-Performance Italian Grinder
If you've outgrown supermarket-grade kitchen gear and you're tired of mincers that smear, stall, or quit on you halfway through a shoulder meet the one Australian home butchers, charcutiers and small smallgoods makers keep coming back for.
The Trespade No.12 is a compact, Italian-made electric meat mincer engineered the way meat equipment used to be built proper cast iron, hardened steel, no plastic shortcuts. It's the mincer that earns its place on the bench and stays there for years.
Manufactured in Italy by Trespade a workshop that's been making meat processing equipment since 1956 and stocked at our Capel Sound facility in Victoria for fast dispatch to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and every postcode in between.
Who This Mincer Is For
- Home charcutiers ready to step up from kitchenware-grade grinders to genuine professional equipment.
- Hunters and game processors processing venison, kangaroo, wild boar or rabbit — and sick of mincers that can't handle sinew.
- Smallgoods makers and farmers' market traders scaling from hobby to micro-business.
- Chefs and restaurant operators running in-house sausage, burger or charcuterie programs in tight commercial kitchens.
- Boutique butchers needing a dedicated secondary mincer for premium grinds — wagyu trim, dry-aged blends, specialty sausage runs.
Why the Trespade No.12 Out-grinds the Competition
Built like Italian meat equipment should be
Tinned cast iron body, auger and retaining ring. Stainless steel hopper and base. A stainless steel #12 mincing knife paired with a 6mm stainless hole plate. This isn't a hobby tool dressed up for retail it's commercial-grade engineering scaled into a domestic footprint.
Real grinding power, honest specs
A genuine 480W (0.65hp) motor running at 160 rpm, processing up to 100kg of meat per hour. Most "horsepower" claims on cheaper mincers don't survive a Saturday morning sausage run. This one does.
Clean grind, every pass
The combination of motor torque, knife sharpness and plate precision means the Trespade No.12 cuts meat instead of crushing it. That's the difference between a sausage with bite and texture, and one that eats like baby food. Anyone who's ground their own knows.
Compact enough for real Australian kitchens
At 24 × 47 × 39 cm and 13kg, it fits on a standard bench, stores easily, and one person can move it for cleaning. Crucial for tight Sydney CBD kitchens, Melbourne laneway operations, or Perth and Brisbane shared production spaces where every square metre is rent.
Designed for hygiene-first operation
Tool-free disassembly. Stainless contact surfaces. Wipes down in under five minutes. Whether you're meeting domestic food safety standards or just want your gear actually clean before storage the Trespade design respects your time.
Made in Italy. Backed in Australia.
We import Trespade direct. Parts, plates, knives and motor components are sourced and supported from our Victoria HQ not a six-week wait from an overseas seller who's gone silent. That's what turns a tool into a long-term asset.
12-Month Manufacturer's Warranty
Backed by Trespade's factory warranty and supported locally by PSC Trading.
