Sausage Stuffer Tre Spade Mod. 5V Classic: The Vertical 5 Liter for Hunters and Sausage Makers
The Mod. 5V Classic from Italian Tre Spade is the vertical 5 liter that makes sausage making a pleasure: cylinder, bolts and base in stainless steel, forged and hardened steel gears, and a piston with an air release valve that lets the air out instead of pressing it into the sausages. The gear system has two speeds, high speed for moving the piston up and down when filling, and a low, powerful ratio for the stuffing itself, so you work fast without losing control.

The vertical design takes little bench space and lets gravity help feed the meat down towards the funnel. The frame is painted steel, the rack is carbon steel with an anti-corrosion treatment, and the piston is food-grade Moplen with a silicone gasket that seals against the cylinder wall. With four included funnels from 10 to 40 mm it covers everything from thin barbecue sausages to coarse cured sausages, and with 5 liters of capacity you stuff around 4-5 kg of meat per fill.
Soak salted natural casings in lukewarm water for half an hour and rinse water through the whole casing before use. Wet the funnel, slide the casing on loosely, and stuff looser than you think: the casing needs room when the sausages are twisted, otherwise they burst. Prick any air pockets with a needle before twisting.
Features
- Solid build: Cylinder, bolts and base in stainless steel, forged and hardened steel gears and a painted steel frame.
- Smart piston: Food-grade Moplen with a silicone gasket and an air release valve that prevents air pockets in the sausages.
- Complete from the start: Four funnels in 10, 20, 30 and 40 mm cover everything from thin barbecue sausages to coarse cured sausages.
How to use
- Fill the cylinder with cold, seasoned sausage meat and press it down lightly to avoid air pockets.
- Choose the funnel to match the casing, slide on a wet casing, and crank at low speed in a steady rhythm while supporting the sausage with your other hand.
- Switch to high speed to raise the piston when refilling. Dismantle and wash all parts by hand after use.

FAQ Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Mod. 5V Classic and the Mod. 5V Deluxe?
Both are vertical 5 liter stuffers with the same two-speed gear system, an air release valve in the piston and four included funnels. The difference is in the finish: the Classic has a painted steel frame, while the Deluxe is the more premium version. The stuffing itself is identical, so the Classic gives you the Tre Spade quality at a lower price.
What is the point of two speeds?
The low speed gives a high gear ratio and power, so even firm, cold sausage meat stuffs evenly with light cranking. The high speed moves the piston quickly, perfect when the cylinder needs refilling or the piston needs raising after the session. Without the two speeds you waste time on the empty runs.
Do I need a sausage stuffer when my meat grinder has funnels?
You can get started with the grinder's funnels, but a dedicated stuffer lifts the result noticeably. The grinder works the meat an extra time on its way out, which can smear the fat and tighten the texture, while the stuffer presses the meat gently and evenly. You also control the pace with the crank and have both hands in the right position, which means more even sausages and fewer burst casings.
