What you’ll find here
Meat tenderisers: Schnitzelmaster Profi and Schnitzelmaster MAXI, approx. €1,200 to €1,450. The meat passes between V4A stainless steel rollers and is flattened evenly, rather than being tenderised with a hammer. For businesses that prepare schnitzel, cordon bleu or roulades on a daily basis.
Knife sharpening machine: Sharpymax 40, approx. €1,925. Resharpens kitchen and boning knives on the premises, so you don’t have to rely on an external sharpening service.
What we look for in butchery machinery
Materials and hygiene: All parts in contact with food are made of stainless steel; the rollers are made of V4A, which is particularly resistant to corrosion from salt and acid. Rollers and scrapers should be easy to remove for cleaning – a prerequisite for daily cleaning in accordance with HACCP.
Feed width and adjustment: Check the maximum width of the meat piece and how precisely the final thickness can be adjusted. The MAXI model is designed for larger pieces and higher throughput.
Health and safety: Feed protection, an emergency stop and CE marking are mandatory. For mincers, spark protection and a stable blade guide are also required.
Connection and installation: Power connection as per the type plate, floor space at working height and room for feeding in and removing the product.

Frequently asked questions about butchery machines
How much does a schnitzel tenderiser cost for the catering industry?
The Schnitzelmaster tenderising machines cost around €1,200 (Profi) or around €1,450 (MAXI). With daily schnitzel preparation, the cost is usually recouped quickly through the labour time saved.
Why rollers instead of a hammer?
Rollers press the meat evenly to the set thickness without tearing the fibres. The result is consistent for every piece, cooking times can be planned more effectively, and there is less noise in the kitchen.
What does V4A mean?
V4A is a molybdenum-alloyed stainless steel (e.g. 1.4571) that is more resistant to salt, acids and cleaning agents than V2A. It is the more robust choice for parts that come into direct contact with food.
Is it worth having your own knife sharpening machine?
If several staff members work with knives on a daily basis, yes: knives stay sharp at all times, and there’s no need to wait for a sharpening service. For just a few knives, an external service is usually sufficient.
Can I enquire about other machines?
Yes. The range in this category is limited; you can enquire about further meat-processing equipment via the dealer. The purchase and payment are handled directly between you and the seller.
