KMS1500PVB Professional Meat Drying Cabinet

A drying cabinet for meat creates the controlled environment that turns raw cuts into dry-aged product without additives. The unit circulates chilled, filtered air at a precise temperature and humidity, slowing microbial growth while enzymes break down muscle fibres. This method preserves the meat's natural colour and flavour while reducing weight loss to a minimum. The cabinet's insulated chamber and indirect cooling system maintain even conditions throughout, so every piece matures at the same rate.

The operator loads the cabinet by placing meat on the adjustable stainless-steel shelves. The glass door is then closed and a recipe selected from the touchscreen. Each recipe can be customised in eight steps, setting temperature, humidity and airflow for slow, traditional or accelerated maturation. The built-in probe monitors conditions in real time, while the patented OxigenKlima system circulates ozone-enriched air to suppress bacteria and mould. LED lighting inside the chamber lets the operator watch the natural colour change without opening the door.

The KMS1500PVB is built from AISI 304 stainless steel and insulated with cyclopentane for maximum thermal efficiency. A monoblock chiller simplifies maintenance, and the horizontal and vertical airflow system ensures even moisture distribution, preventing dehydration. The cabinet's climate class 5 rating allows it to operate in ambient temperatures from +18 to +43 °C, making it suitable for tropical conditions.

Controls are grouped on a touchscreen display with intuitive icons. The operator can set the temperature between 0 and +4 °C, choose from six pre-loaded recipes or create custom programmes, and activate the OxigenKlima disinfection cycle. A test-centre function verifies all sensors before each run.

The 1.5 kW power rating indicates the load on a single-phase 230 V circuit, typical for professional kitchens. The cabinet's 275 kg weight requires a stable floor and a trolley for movement. Its footprint of 1460 mm wide, 850 mm deep and 2115 mm high fits through standard kitchen doorways but demands dedicated space near a worktop for loading and unloading.

Cleaning is simplified by the monoblock chiller and the smooth stainless-steel interior. The OxigenKlima system reduces odours and contaminants, but the chamber should be wiped down after each cycle with food-safe sanitiser. Shelves and the glass door are removable for thorough cleaning.

The KMS1500PVB is the 1500PVB model in the BHS professional Klima Meat range, designed for dry maturation of meat in capacities from 100 to 230 kg.
