D700PVB Drying Cabinet for Meat Maturation

A drying cabinet for meat maturation provides a controlled setting where temperature, humidity, and airflow combine to remove surface moisture while safeguarding the meat's core. The system uses indirect ventilated cooling, circulating chilled air both horizontally and vertically to ensure uniform conditions throughout the chamber. This even distribution avoids uneven drying and minimises weight loss. The cabinet's climate class 5 classification allows it to perform reliably in warm, humid environments, making it practical for kitchens without dedicated climate control.

To start a cycle, the operator arranges the meat on adjustable shelves, shuts the glass door, and chooses from six pre-set recipes or designs a custom sequence of up to eight steps. Each step defines the target temperature between 0 and 4 °C, humidity, and duration. The touch-screen display provides live readings from the internal probe, enabling the operator to track the meat's natural colour change without opening the door. The patented OxigenKlima system filters the air to lower bacteria and mould levels, while internal LED lighting simplifies visual inspections.

Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel and insulated with cyclopentane for thermal efficiency, the cabinet features a rear glass panel so kitchen staff can observe the maturation process without disrupting the internal climate. A monoblock chiller consolidates all refrigeration components into one accessible unit, easing maintenance. Shelves adjust to fit various cuts and quantities, and the unit's stable base allows easy relocation with a pallet truck.

The 1.2 kW power rating reflects the demand on a standard 230 V single-phase circuit common in professional kitchens. The 162 kg weight highlights the sturdy build and insulation, while the 740 × 850 × 2115 mm dimensions indicate the required floor space. With a 50–130 kg capacity, the cabinet accommodates small test batches or larger service quantities.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless steel interior and shelves with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then drying to prevent water marks. The glass door and rear panel should be cleaned with a glass cleaner to preserve visibility. The monoblock chiller requires regular filter checks, and the OxigenKlima system's filters need replacement as per the manufacturer's guidelines to maintain air quality.

The D700PVB belongs to the BHS Klima Meat series, engineered for professional meat maturation and seasoning.
