Why it stands out
Commercial capacity
Multiple stainless-steel shelves and hanging rods hold whole subprimals or charcuterie—perfect for restaurants and butchers who want to manage their own aging process.
Professional control
Fine-tune temperature and humidity to create the ideal environment for beef, lamb or salami. No external water hookup is required, so installation is flexible.

The same Embraco inverter compressor reduces energy consumption by ~40 %. Low-E glass, 45 mm thick insulation and a sealed door design maintain stability and cut operating costs.
Hygiene & ease of use
Air circulation, a carbon filter and UVC sterilisation keep the cabinet fresh, while the LED touchpad with door-open alarm gives you intuitive control.

Technical Features
Inverter compressor
A premium Embraco inverter compressor delivers stable cooling performance while reducing energy consumption by up to ~40%. It ramps output up or down as needed instead of cycling on and off, helping maintain a consistent temperature profile for long aging cycles.
Low-E glass & heavy insulation
Low-emissivity glass, 45 mm thick insulation, and a sealed door design work together to reduce heat exchange, minimise condensation, and keep internal conditions stable—even in warmer ambient environments.
Active air circulation & UVC sterilisation
A dedicated fan system circulates air evenly throughout the cabinet, helping eliminate dead spots and temperature swings between shelves. Integrated UVC sterilisation and a carbon filter help keep the interior fresher over long aging periods.
Humidity management for dry-aging
Adjustable humidity control in the 60–85% range lets you tune the environment for beef, lamb, or charcuterie. The stainless steel salt tray and internal design support stable moisture levels for traditional dry-aging practices.
Digital control panel & safety alerts
A front-mounted LED touchpad gives you precise control over temperature and other settings at a glance. Door-open and temperature alarms help protect your product during busy service or high-traffic hours.
