(57) A meat mincing attachment (1) has a coupling flange (5) having a receiver part (7)
for removably coupling the flange (5) to a driven source, a feed tube (2)connected
with the coupling flange (5) and an auger tube (10) removably securable to the coupling
flange (5) by a first rotationally releasable connection. The auger tube (10) has
a mincing axis that is orthogonal to the feeding axis. An auger (20) is removably
located within the auger tube (10) and has an auger blade (23) for transporting food
pieces along the auger tube (10) towards a mincing end (12). A mincing disk (30) is
removably disposed at the mincing end (12) of the auger tube (10) and supports a mincing
end of the auger (20). The mincing (30) disk is secured by a retaining ring (27) connectable
to the mincing end (12) of the auger tube (10) by a second rotationally releasable
connection.
