KAS900PV Drying Cabinet for Salami and Cheese

A drying cabinet creates the steady, controlled climate that turns fresh salami and cheese into evenly matured products without additives. Air is cooled by an indirect refrigeration circuit, then circulated horizontally and vertically through the chamber by a patented fan system. The fan speed can be set to match the product, while a built-in steam generator adds or removes moisture as needed. Temperature, humidity and airflow are held within tight limits, so every shelf receives the same conditions and the natural colour change of the product can be watched through the glass door.

The operator loads the adjustable stainless-steel shelves with salami or cheese, closes the door and selects one of the twenty pre-set programmes or creates a custom recipe of up to twenty steps. Each step sets the target temperature, humidity, fan speed and duration. The seven-inch touchscreen displays the current values and the progress of the cycle, while a data recorder logs every parameter for HACCP records. A USB port allows recipes to be saved or transferred. When the cycle finishes, the cabinet holds the product at the final temperature until it is removed.

The cabinet is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, insulated with cyclopentane for thermal efficiency and fitted with internal LED lighting. A monoblock refrigeration unit simplifies maintenance, and condensate from the steam generator drains directly to a waste pipe. The unit runs on a 230 V single-phase supply, weighs 160 kg and stands 920 mm wide, 800 mm deep and 2115 mm high, giving a capacity of 50 to 80 kg of product. Climate class 5 allows the cabinet to operate in ambient temperatures from +18 to +43 °C, and the refrigerant is the ecological R290.

The touchscreen controls include a probe for measuring temperature and humidity, a recipe editor, fan-speed adjustment and a real-time display of the drying process. Accessories are stainless steel, and a choice of seasoning sets for salami or cheese is available at order.

The KAS900PV is designed for professional maturation of salami or cheese, one type at a time, and is placed in the BHS catalogue under drying and ageing equipment.
