- For extra-coarse chili, chunky meat sauces, and specialty applications
- Extends grinder texture range beyond standard included plates
- Direct-fit
The Vollrath 1/2" (1.3cm) grinder plate for model 40744 produces an extra-coarse grind — an additional plate option beyond the 1/8" and 5/16" plates included with the grinder. The larger 1/2" holes produce significantly coarser meat particles for chili, chunky meat sauces, and specialty preparations requiring very coarse ground texture.
Direct-fit for model 40744. Extends the #22 grinder's texture range to a third grind specification without a separate unit. Sold separately from the grinder.
The 1/2" grinder plate for the Vollrath model 40744 brings the extra-coarse grind option to the #22 capacity grinder — adding a third plate specification to the two (1/8" and 5/16") included with the unit. At 528 lbs per hour capacity, the model 40744 equipped with the 1/2" plate can produce very coarse-textured ground meat at the volume pace that high-production butcher and food service operations require.
The operational advantage of the 1/2" plate in a #22 capacity unit is throughput. Larger hole diameters allow product to pass through more quickly with less resistance than smaller-hole plates, since the meat does not need to be compressed through as small an opening. For applications where extra-coarse grind is the target and volume is the priority, the combination of the 40744's 1-1/2 HP motor and the 1/2" large-hole plate processes product at the maximum practical rate the unit can achieve.
Extra-coarse grind applications in commercial food service include regional chili preparations that specify coarsely ground beef rather than fine, specialty sausage preparations with chunky texture requirements, certain ethnic meat preparations that call for rough-chopped or coarsely ground meat character, and coarse meat preparations destined for further processing where particle size reduction rather than texture refinement is the grinding goal.
At this production volume level, spare parts inventory planning is practical maintenance management. A 40744 running daily at capacity accumulates knife and plate wear faster than lower-volume units. Having a replacement 1/2" plate — along with replacement knives and other standard plates — on the shelf allows maintenance to happen on a planned schedule rather than reactively when production is stopped waiting on parts.
