Precise parameters
The intelligent control of the Premium S models enables temperatures from 0 to +30 °C and humidity levels between 40 and 90% - of course electronically adjustable. Automatically with the SmartAging® programs or in manual mode. A water connection or water tank is not necessary thanks to HumiControl®.

Absolute purity
Dangerous bacteria and germs don't stand a chance. The DX 500 Premium S has an active UVC disinfection box that completely disinfects the entire air mass in the ripening cabinet at least once a minute. The activated carbon filter also cleans the incoming air. The inner container is made of an antibacterial material and has a well-thought-out geometry that ensures easy cleaning. A SmartAging® pre-cleaning program ensures perfect hygienic starting conditions after each ripening cycle.

Little weight loss
After 4 weeks of maturing on the bone, beef loses just 7-8% of its weight, and after 6 weeks it loses around 12%. These values ​​are unparalleled and are immediately noticeable in your wallet.

Functional award-winning design
The DRY AGER® ripening cabinet has won many prestigious design awards and is guaranteed to be the best choice. The inner container has an antibacterial effect and is shaped to make cleaning easier and prevent the formation of dirt corners. The base slopes backwards so that liquids cannot run out of the device. The integrated DX LED Premium light strips, which are integrated into both sides of the door, perfectly illuminate the food in the ripening cabinet.

Completely disinfected every minute
The DX 500® Premium is, alongside the DX 1000® Premium, the only professional ripening cabinet in the world with an activated carbon filter and an active UVC disinfection box, which completely disinfects the air in the cabinet once a minute, so dangerous bacteria and germs have no chance.

Highly precise humidity control
Thanks to HumiControl®, the humidity can also be precisely regulated from 60% to 90% in 0.5% increments, just like with the large DX 1000® Premium, without a water connection and without a water tank. Together with the integrated DX AirReg® system, this always ensures a perfect microclimate inside, optimal air flow and continuous disinfection, even with large fluctuations in ambient temperatures.

Micro-control of temperature
When dry aging, we recommend that the meat be aged on the bone, at approx. 82 - 85% humidity and a temperature of 1 to 2 °C. The precise electronic control of the DRY AGER DX 500® Premium ensures that the temperature is maintained at a constant level, which can be regulated in exact 0.1 °C increments from 0 to +25 °C.

Surprisingly low tire loss
The weight loss of beef (fresh meat) due to maturation on the bone is only around 7-8% after 4 weeks of maturation in the DRY AGER® DX 500® Premium and around 12% after 6 weeks. These internal measurement results are considerably lower than in most other maturation cabinets on the market - another argument in favor of the DRY AGER®!

The all-rounder
The DRY AGER® is not only suitable for the production of dry-aged beef. Thanks to the individually adjustable temperature and humidity values, it can also be used for maturing and storing sausage products such as salami, ham and other types of meat, as well as for storing cheese.

Perfect UV protection
To protect the valuable contents from harmful UV light, the insulated glass door of the DRY AGER, which is held by an elegant stainless steel frame, is tinted (metal-coated).
