How should plate-hole diameter be selected for a commercial meat grinder?

Select plate-hole diameter from the required particle size and throughput, then validate the plate-and-knife combination with actual meat. The technical agreement should connect the claimed performance to a defined product, test load, and measurable result. Changeover, cleaning, and restart conditions should also be checked when they affect normal commercial operation. This approach gives the buyer a practical basis for supplier comparison, commissioning, and future maintenance planning. A useful quotation should show both the machine limit and the conditions under which that limit was measured.
