KAS900PVB Drying Cabinet for Salami and Cheese

A drying cabinet provides the controlled environment needed for salami and cheese to mature evenly. Air circulates horizontally and vertically, removing moisture at a consistent rate. The cabinet maintains precise temperature and humidity levels, ensuring the surface dries without hardening while the interior develops flavour and texture. This method achieves consistent results without additives, relying on time and precision instead.

The operator loads adjustable stainless-steel shelves with salami or cheese and closes the glass door. A seven-inch touchscreen offers ready-made programmes for common products or allows the creation of custom recipes with up to twenty steps. Each step sets temperature, humidity, fan speed, and duration. The cabinet maintains the chosen conditions automatically, while LED lighting enables monitoring of the natural colour change through the door. A built-in data recorder logs all parameters for HACCP compliance.

Constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel and insulated with cyclopentane, the KAS900PVB ensures stable internal conditions. A monoblock refrigeration unit with R290 refrigerant cools the chamber indirectly, avoiding direct contact between the refrigerant and the food. Condensate drains directly to a waste line, and a probe continuously monitors temperature and humidity. The cabinet operates on a 230 V single-phase supply and fits a footprint of 920 mm wide by 800 mm deep, standing 2115 mm high. Its 160 kg weight requires a solid floor and a standard catering worktop or trolley for support.

The adjustable temperature range of +2 to +25 °C meets the maturation needs of both salami and cheese, while climate class 5 allows operation in ambient temperatures from +18 to +43 °C. A capacity of 50 to 80 kg accommodates small or large batches without overcrowding. The cabinet processes only one type of product at a time—either salami or cheese—to prevent cross-contamination and ensure uniform airflow.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel interior and shelves with a damp cloth and mild detergent, followed by thorough drying. The glass door and touchscreen should be cleaned with a soft cloth to avoid scratches. Regular checks of the condensate drain prevent blockages, and the refrigeration unit's filters should be inspected as per the manufacturer's guidelines.
