Abstract: A mincing unit for an industrial mincing machine having a stator, a rotor and a worm screw drivingly connected to the rotor and positioned within the stator. A set of disc-shaped dies are formed of progressively closer perforations. A set of star-shaped cutters alternate with the dies such that the cutters act on the dies at either end. The cutters are fitted with rectangular blades having a cutting edge surfaced with a wear-resistant material fixed externally to the blades. An element of wear resistant material is mounted on each spoke of the cutters. A freely rotating plate is mounted in an axial area of the cutters.
