Sealing gasket (pos. 11 in the spare parts exploded diagram) for the model 8 CE electric meat mincer. It sits at the coupling between the mincing unit (feed neck, auger) and the machine body, and its job is to prevent liquids and meat residue from leaking out during processing while keeping an airtight seal between the mating parts.

• Type: sealing gasket
• Spare part position: pos. 11 of the exploded diagram
• Compatibility: model 8 CE meat mincer

It should be replaced when it becomes hardened, cracked or deformed, because in that condition it no longer sits flush against the mating surfaces and allows liquid to leak out during mincing, as well as making residue build up harder to clean around the seal area.
