The Fama size 12 cast-iron auger (ref. F2123) is the feed screw (worm) at the heart of the meat grinder's grinding assembly. Rotating inside the barrel, it drives the meat from the loading throat towards the knife and the perforated plate, applying the pressure needed for a steady, even grind.

It is a spare part for the standard size No. 12, the same used by the Fama series 12 grinder-grater units. Besides the size 12 meat grinder, it is also compatible with the FTG 102 model, the TG12 professional combined meat grinder-grater in the Fama range. Its cast-iron construction ensures sturdiness and wear resistance under intensive use.

• Type: auger / feed worm

• Assembly size: size 12 (No. 12)

When to replace it: the auger should be changed when the screw flights are worn, out of round or damaged, or when the machine struggles to push the meat through, runs without feeding, or the grind becomes uneven. When replacing the auger it is also worth checking the condition of the knife and plate in the assembly. Always check the model and size of your grinding assembly before ordering to ensure correct compatibility.
