Why this meat ageing fridge earns its place
The 7489.5200 is a dry age cabinet — an upright unit that holds a stable, controlled cold environment for maturing beef and other cuts over days or weeks. Instead of ageing meat in a general-purpose fridge, it gives a butchery or kitchen a dedicated space where conditions stay consistent and precise through the maturation process. The cabinet runs between -3°C and +5°C, holding the narrow band that dry-ageing demands without the risk of cross-contamination from everyday service work.
In day-to-day use it holds this steady low working temperature for maturation rather than everyday chilled storage. Its 198-litre gross capacity is built into a compact upright footprint: 920 mm wide, 550 mm deep and 910 mm tall. Keeping ageing stock separate from working fridges protects both the meat quality and the rest of your cold storage. The cabinet has two full-height doors, both lockable, giving controlled access and security for high-value stock on show or in reserve.
The unit draws just 4 kW and uses R290 refrigerant with 60 mm insulation, running quietly in the dining room or butcher display. LED interior lighting lets customers see the dry-aged selection clearly, and automatic defrost keeps the cavity clean without manual intervention. Check the width and depth against your doorways and access route before delivery. Craven Cooling can advise on siting and servicing.
