The Vollrath 1/8" (32mm) grinder plate for model 40743 produces a fine grind — the plate specification for smooth-textured burger blends, sausage fillings, meatballs, and applications where finely ground meat texture is the target. The 1/8" hole diameter produces a finer output than the 5/16" coarse plate, giving operators control over grind texture by switching plates for different applications.
Direct-fit replacement for model 40743. Replacing worn plates restores grind consistency and maintains proper fit with the grinder knife for clean shearing action.
Grinder plate hole diameter is the primary variable controlling finished grind texture. The 1/8" (32mm) plate produces the finest standard commercial grind — a small-hole plate that creates a smooth, cohesive grind texture appropriate for hamburger patties, smooth sausage fillings, meatballs, meat sauces, and any application where fine, uniform meat particle size is the product standard.
For the Vollrath model 40743 #12 grinder, the 1/8" plate is the fine-grind option that complements the included 5/16" coarse plate. Operations that produce multiple ground meat products — burger blend for one application, coarse sausage for another — achieve that range by switching plates on the same grinder rather than maintaining separate units. The 1/8" plate handles the fine end of that range.
Grinder plates wear through commercial use as the cutting action between knife and plate gradually reduces the sharpness of the plate's hole edges. As a plate dulls, the grind quality shifts: meat is torn rather than cut cleanly, the ground texture becomes less uniform, and motor load increases as the grinder works harder to push product through duller holes. These are the operational signals that indicate plate replacement is needed.
The 1/8" replacement plate for model 40743 restores the grinder to fine-grind performance when the original plate has worn. Maintaining a spare fine and coarse plate allows immediate plate swaps when wear is identified rather than waiting on replacement parts during active production.
