TK-M22 Commercial Meat Mincer

The M22 (or TK-M22 / TC-22) is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade #22 hub meat grinder commonly used in butcher shops, hotels, and small food processing businesses. The reverse switch is one of its most important features.

Here are the short specifications for the M22 with reverse:

Official Name & Specifications: M22 / TK-M22 Commercial Meat Mincer

• Motor Power: 1100W to 1200W (Approx. $1.5\text{ HP}$) — a heavy-duty copper induction motor built to handle gristle and small bone fragments.

• Production Capacity: 220 to 250 kg per hour ($485 – 550\text{ lbs/hr}$)

• Grinding Head Size: #22 (Standard commercial size)

• Rotation Speed: $\sim190\text{ RPM}$ (Slow, high-torque rotation so it doesn’t heat up and cook the fat while grinding)

• Construction: Heavy-duty food-grade Stainless Steel (body, head, feed tray, and auger screw)

• Weight: Around 24 to 29 kg (53 to 64 lbs) — it is a heavy, solid benchtop unit.

Why the “Reverse” Function is Critical on the M22:

Because this machine processes hundreds of kilograms of meat an hour, it will occasionally encounter a tough clog of sinew, silver skin, or thick fat wrapped around the internal blade.

• The Switch: It typically has a 3-position toggle or rotary dial: [ Forward | Stop | Reverse ].

• How it saves you time: Instead of having to completely turn off the machine, unscrew the heavy front locking ring, and pull out a jammed auger by hand, you just flip it to Reverse for 3 to 5 seconds. The auger spins backward, pushes the blockage back up into the feed neck, clears the jam, and lets you go right back to grinding.
