The Metcalfe TS22 is a countertop commercial meat mincer built for operations that need consistent, reliable mince production without the footprint or cost of a floor-standing unit. Constructed from die-cast aluminium and stainless steel, it is a practical choice for butchers' counters, deli kitchens, farm shops, and restaurant prep sections where fresh mince is produced as part of the daily routine.In a working prep environment, the TS22 handles the kind of daily volumes typical of a quality butcher producing fresh mince to order, a restaurant making burger patties or meatballs in-house, or a deli running specialty mince products across a service week. The motor includes overload protection, which is worth noting for sustained use — it reduces the risk of unplanned downtime during heavy prep sessions without requiring operator intervention.From a practical standpoint, the TS22 is well considered for a working kitchen: Grinding unit removes fully for thorough cleaning, supporting food safety compliance Waterproof rubber switch cover protects electrics in wet prep environments Plastic base protection reduces moisture ingress risk to the motor housing Stainless steel tray and hopper are durable and straightforward to clean down 6mm mincing plate included as standard for immediate use straight from the box Installation is straightforward — the TS22 requires only a stable countertop and a suitable mains power supply. Its compact footprint suits kitchens where bench space is at a premium, though operators should ensure the worksurface is secure and positioned at a comfortable working height for feeding the hopper during longer runs. Larger cuts will need some pre-trimming before feeding, which is worth factoring into your prep workflow from the outset.The TS22 is well suited to butchers, delis, farm shops, and smaller restaurant kitchens producing fresh mince daily at moderate volumes. It is not designed for continuous high-volume or whole-carcass processing — operations with significantly higher daily throughput would be better served by a heavier-duty unit with a larger throat capacity. Equally, for very occasional or low-volume use, a smaller entry-level model may represent better value.If you'd like to talk through whether the TS22 matches your production volumes and prep setup before ordering, the team is happy to help you work it out.
