FoodTek 02TR622 TreSpade Sausage Filler Star 5 5L

The Tre Spade Star 5 Sausage Filler is a 5-litre, Italian-made unit designed for the farm, small butcher set ups or homes wanting reliable and easy-to-handle stuffer for regular sausage production.

The horizontal design keeps the filler stable on the bench while giving you good leverage with the hand crank. This layout suits everything from traditional snags and thick country-style sausages to continental styles like chorizo and kransky.

A steel cylinder, metal gearing and a solid drive system form the backbone of the Star 5. The action is smooth and predictable, letting you fill casings at a steady pace without sudden pressure changes. The cylinder removes easily for washing, and the stainless steel base plate anchors the unit firmly during use.
