Replacement hopper with a 52 mm diameter hole, designed for size/model 8 meat grinders, the industry-standard size for machines with a 52 mm mouth (also referred to as "type 8" or "no. 8" by leading manufacturers of professional meat grinders).

• Hole/coupling: 52 mm diameter
• Compatibility: model 8 CE meat grinders with 52 mm mouth

The hopper is the funnel-shaped part mounted above the grinder mouth: it collects the meat before it is pushed by the auger toward the plate and blade for mincing. It is subject to wear and deformation with intensive use, or it can be damaged by impacts or drops; replacement is needed when the original part breaks, deforms, or the hole no longer ensures a precise fit with the machine mouth, causing meat leakage during processing.
