What is a Thompson mixer grinder used for?

A Thompson mixer grinder is a heavy-duty combined mixing and grinding machine designed for high-throughput commercial meat processing. It simultaneously mixes and grinds meat at throughputs ranging from 1,500kg per hour on smaller models up to several thousand kilograms per hour on the larger 3000, 3200 and 4200 series. Thompson mixer grinders are used by large butchery operations, meat processors, food manufacturers and any operation where consistent, high-volume production of mince, burger mix, sausage mix or processed meat products is required.

Which Thompson mixer grinder model is right for my operation?

The right model depends on your required throughput and the physical constraints of your operation. The Thompson 840 and 900 Omega are suited to mid-volume operations producing up to 1,500kg per hour. The Thompson 3000 and 3200 are built for high-throughput production environments processing around 3,000kg per hour, while the Thompson 4200 is suited to the most demanding large-scale operations. All Thompson models are three-phase machines.

Thompson Mixer Grinders | Refurbished UK

Thompson Meat Machinery has been manufacturing heavy-duty mixer grinders in the UK since 1964. Their machines are built for one purpose - high-throughput meat mixing and grinding in demanding commercial and industrial food production environments, and they do it with a robustness and longevity that has made Thompson a trusted name in large-scale butchery and meat processing operations across the UK and beyond. A Thompson mixer grinder is not a machine that wears out quickly. With proper maintenance, these are pieces of equipment that last decades, which is why a well-refurbished Thompson is widely considered one of the best-value investments available to a meat processing operation.

GMSE regularly stocks refurbished Thompson mixer grinders across the full range - from the 840 and 900 Omega models suited to mid-volume operations, through to the 3000, 3200 and 4200 for high-throughput production environments processing thousands of kilograms per hour. Every Thompson that comes through our workshop is fully assessed, stripped down where necessary, overhauled and tested by our accredited engineers before being offered for sale. These are not cosmetically cleaned machines. They are properly refurbished by engineers who work on this equipment every day.
