Sausage Filler Tre Spade – 7Lt Star Line – Star 8

Description

Tre Spade sausage filler with a 7 litre cylinder, Star Line, Star 8 configuration.

Mid-capacity filler in the Star Line build. 7 litres per load is the usual working size for a butchery producing its own boerewors and sausage.

A sausage filler is a piston cylinder with a hand-cranked gear drive. Meat is loaded into the cylinder, a casing is slipped over the nozzle, and turning the handle drives the piston down at a controlled rate so the casing fills evenly without air pockets. The gearing is what gives the control — filling by hand or by mincer attachment tends to tear casings and trap air.

Tre Spade is an Italian manufacturer and these are hand-driven rather than powered, which suits a butchery, farm operation or restaurant making its own sausage in batches rather than a continuous production line.

Supplied with a set of nozzles in most configurations. Stainless parts strip down for cleaning, which is required after every use.
