Hub vs no-hub

The hub is the raised central boss. Machines with a recessed locating bore need a hub plate; machines with a central drive pin run flat (no-hub) plates. Pull the old plate and match the geometry before ordering.

Combine with a fresh Salvador No.12 mincer blade or Torrey No.12 mincer blade. A sharp blade against a true plate is the whole secret of a clean mince.

FAQ

Will this fit my mincer?
Yes, for any size 12 mincer — the No.12 plate is a near-universal industry size used by Salvador, Sirman, Geepas, Buffalo and most catering and small-butchery brands.

Is size 12 the same as #12?
Yes. "Size 12", "No.12", "#12" and "No 12" all describe the same standardised mincer plate dimension.

What's the smallest hole size on a No.12?
3mm is the finest we stock and the practical limit for a size 12 mincer — anything finer needs an emulsifier or a larger machine.

How do I know when to replace it?
If mince comes out warm, smeared, or in long strands rather than clean grains, the plate (or more likely the blade) has lost its edge. Replace as a pair.
