FAQ

Does this fit Salvador, L&W and Torrey mincers?
Yes. We stock variants specifically for Salvador (Italy), L&W (Germany) and Torrey size 52 / 42 mincers. Select the right variant from the dropdown.

Is the 52 the same as the 42?
Yes — Salvador and many European manufacturers badge the same plate as "52 (42)" because the body designation differs between brands. The plate itself is interchangeable.

What does "long life" mean?
Long-life plates are made from a harder, more wear-resistant stainless grade. They cost a little more but last considerably longer under heavy commercial use.

How often should I replace a No.52 plate?
For commercial use, plan a replacement every 6–12 months depending on volume. Replace immediately if mince comes out warm, smeared or inconsistent — that means the cutting edge has gone.
