High-performance parts

Mincers require high-performance parts due to the nature of their work. The gears run in an oil bath to ensure that parts of the motor are highly lubricated throughout its operation. This ensures that the mincer retains its powerful attributes and performs consistently to prevent any damage to the meat being minced.
