Sausage Stuffer Tre Spade Star 5 Hobby 5 Litre: The Big Batch Machine with Dual Speed
Horizontal sausage stuffer from Italian Tre Spade, made by FACEM, built for anyone stuffing sausages in serious quantities. The 5 litre cylinder is stainless steel, the side plates carry Tre Spade's classic red enamel, and the wear resistant metal gears offer two speeds: a fast one for feeding and returning the piston, and a powerful one for the stuffing itself. The food-grade Moplen piston has a silicone gasket and air release valve, and four funnels of 10, 20, 30 and 40 mm are included.

With 5 litres of capacity the cylinder holds around 4.5 kg of sausage mixture per fill, enough to get through a weekend's production without constant breaks. The fast speed saves you countless cranks when the piston travels forward and back, while the powerful speed gives smooth, controlled stuffing even with firm mixtures. The rubber feet keep the stuffer steady on the bench, the air release valve prevents air pockets in the casing, and the whole construction is certified for food contact under European Regulation 1935/2004.
Let freshly stuffed sausages dry uncovered in the fridge for a few hours, preferably overnight, before they go into the smoker. The surface then develops the dry, tacky layer called a pellicle, and the smoke bonds evenly, giving the sausages a deep golden colour instead of glancing off damp casings.
Features
- Big capacity: 5 litre stainless steel cylinder that holds around 4.5 kg of mixture per fill.
- Dual speed: Fast feeding and return of the piston, powerful gearing for the stuffing itself, with wear resistant metal gears.
- Air-free sausages: Food-grade Moplen piston with silicone gasket and air release valve that prevents air pockets in the casing.
How to use
- Place the stuffer steadily on the bench, fill the cylinder with cold sausage mixture and choose the funnel to match the casing.
- Run the piston forward at fast speed until it meets the mixture, then switch to the powerful speed for the stuffing itself.
- Take apart and wash the cylinder, piston and funnels in hot soapy water after use, and dry well before storage.

FAQ Frequently asked questions
How much mixture does one fill hold?
The 5 litre cylinder holds around 4.5 kg of sausage mixture per fill. That covers a good weekend batch, and you avoid the constant refilling breaks that smaller stuffers require.
What does dual speed mean on a sausage stuffer?
The gears have two ratios: a fast one that moves the piston quickly forward to the mixture and back again when the cylinder needs refilling, and a powerful one that gives smooth, controlled stuffing with little arm effort. It saves both time and energy, especially with firm mixtures and big batches.
What is the difference between the Star 5 and the Minnie Classic 3 litre?
The Star 5 has bigger capacity, dual speed and metal gears, and stands on rubber feet, made for big batches with as little cranking as possible. The Minnie Classic 3 litre is more compact, fixes with clamps and suits smaller batches well. Both have a stainless cylinder, an air release valve in the piston and four funnels.
