TPMincer Separator

$1.00

The Thomas Precision TPMincer was originally engineered for use aboard commercial fishing vessels operating in the Pacific Ocean—a corrosive saltwater environment that demanded a compact footprint, captive fasteners that could not be dropped below deck, and a front bearing housing on a locking hinge that held fast through operation and servicing at sea. That foundation shaped everything about the TPMincer: tight, rugged, and built for conditions where lost parts and downtime are not options. Today the TPMincer family is successfully processing Fish, Seafood, Surimi, Poultry, Pork, and Beef in both Human Consumption and Pet Food production environments—at sea and on shore.

Engineered Advantages

  • Low Temperature Rise — Preserves product integrity and improves final product quality.
  • Minimal Spare Parts — Simplified design reduces inventory requirements and maintenance complexity.
  • No Belts, No Loose Parts — Eliminates common wear points and reduces unplanned downtime.
  • Consistent Product Output — Delivers uniform texture and finished product quality.
  • Rebuildable Wear Parts — Extends component life and reduces long-term replacement costs.
  • Compact Footprint — Designed for congested processing areas where floor space is limited.
  • Sanitary Construction — Smooth surfaces promote clean operation and simplify sanitation.
  • Single-Tool, Single-Operator Setup — Fast teardown and reassembly with minimal labor.
  • Integrated Controls, VFD, and Level Sensing — Standard machines include integrated controls with a VFD. High and low level sensors prevent dry running and automatically increase machine speed when the hopper becomes too full.

Built to Perform

  • Input capacity of 6,000–10,000 lbs/hour, product dependent. The TPMincer AFM is rated to 12,000 lbs/hour.
  • Successfully processes Fish, Seafood, Surimi, Poultry, Pork, and Beef in Human Consumption and Pet Food production environments.
  • Continuous-duty design in a compact, high-throughput footprint.
