Business Starter Bundle
- Slicing by hand caps your output. The JQ48 cuts a 25kg load into even strips in minutes.
- A home box limits your batch. KK12 does 7kg; the KK25 takes 20 to 25kg a load, or 10kg of smalls every 24 hours.
- Sawing dried slabs eats the evening. The shredder does a slab in seconds. “Great device, and has saved me hours!”

You are making biltong people keep asking for, and the box you have cannot keep up. You are selling at a market, at work, online, or over the counter of a small butchery, and you can see what a proper production setup would let you do, if you did not have to piece it together from three different suppliers.
- The home maker whose orders have outgrown the box. You started for friends and family. Now you are back-logged and turning people away.
- The market stall or online brand running on home kit. A second and third home dryer is not a production line, and the batches stop matching each other.
- The small butchery adding a higher-margin line. You already have the meat, the customers and the skill. Biltong, stokkies and shredded biltong sell above the price of raw meat.
- The farm turning its own animals into finished product. The more of the work you do yourself, the more of the margin you keep.
If you are still making the occasional batch for the family, this is more chamber than you need. Have a look at the KK12 and KK16 first, and come back when the orders start.
That is how most people describe the moment. You make biltong for yourself and family friends. You get told one too many times that you should start selling it because it tastes like it does back in SA. Your KK12 holds up until it doesn’t. Then you buy a second KK12. Now you’re considering a third.
Even if the KK12 could keep up, the meat cutting and the slicing for bagging are enough to burn you out. And the advice when you outgrow the kitchen is always the same: commercial kitchen, go full time or don’t bother. It starts to look like a business loan instead of slowly scaling.
That advice is outdated. This bundle gives you the tools to use your 24 hours as efficiently as possible.
- The JQ48 slices meat up to 10 times faster, and consistently
- The KK25 handles over 3 times the batch size of the KK12 without compromising quality
- The shredder slices dried biltong in seconds, thinner, for a professional result

What each tool does
Three machines. One production line.
Biltong Chamber KK25
20 to 25kg of wet meat a load, coming out at roughly 12 to 15kg of finished biltong in 72 to 96 hours depending on how thick you slice. Switch to trays and it dries up to 10kg of smalls every 24 hours: snapsticks, stokkies, biltong leaves, nuggets, wagon wheels, snack-size retail packs.
The temperature control system holds temperature and airflow inside the chamber regardless of the weather outside, which is what stops a batch case hardening. Same recipe, one load, one set of conditions. The volume is the only thing that changes.
KK JQ48 Slicer & Grinder
Feed chilled, boneless meat in and it comes out as even strips, up to 300kg an hour, so a full KK25 load of 25kg is sliced in minutes. The knife cartridge cuts every strip to the same thickness. That means the whole load dries at the same rate, and you can take it all down together.
Flip the mode switch, fit a grinding plate and it puts through up to 80kg of mince an hour, so tougher cuts become wors or burger patties to sell next to your biltong. It has an emergency stop and a reverse for jams, and ships with 10mm knife cartridges and 3 grinding plates.
Biltong Shredder KK2003
Dried slabs go in and bag-ready shredded biltong comes out in seconds, with the professional finish that used to cost you an evening of sawing with a knife. And shredded biltong sells as its own line, so every batch puts a second product on your counter or website.
It’s the same commercial-grade shredder our butchery clients use. The die-cast aluminium body hinges open for cleaning, and the blade is balanced so it runs without shaking the bench. There’s a protective flap for safe use. It bolts to a table or stand and fits a tight counter.
Expert advice: we use the same equipment to make biltong ourselves and sell it under our own brand, Biltong Butcher. The bundle comes with personalised support: recipes, food safety certification support, equipment installation and operation support.
Time is money in the biltong business
Every hour you save is an hour you sell
Your recipe at scale
The KK25 holds the drying temperature and airflow inside the chamber whatever the weather is doing outside. No failed batches, and a consistent end product your customer can trust.
Smalls in a day, slabs in four
Trays for stokkies and snapsticks on a 24-hour turn, hanging for slabs on 72 to 96 hours. Keep your inventory stocked with new products to sell.
Slice a load in minutes
Up to 300kg an hour through the JQ48, every strip the same thickness. Each strip dries at the same rate, so you are not pulling a load where half is ready and half is raw.
Mince on the other side
Up to 80kg an hour of mince through the grinding plates for wors, patties and drywors mixes. One machine, two products.
Bag it, don't saw it
The shredder turns dried slabs into strips in seconds. The professional first impression and mouth feel that bring customers back.
Built to be cleaned
Food grade materials and designs that dismantle for clean-up. Keeps your customers safe and you spending less time on wash-down.
Runs on a standard socket
The KK25 is 750W on 220V single phase and the JQ48 is 450W on 220 to 240V. Neither needs three phase or an electrician.
Set up by people who make biltong
We make and sell our own biltong on this site and have been through the MPI process for our own production. The recipe guide and a setup call come with the bundle.
We run the numbers so you don't have to
What this bundle earns
Cashflow is what kills most small businesses, so we ran the numbers so you can see how quickly this system pays for itself. Our case study uses $40 a kilo of gross profit on finished product, after meat, spice and packaging. Our own 1kg bag sells for $79.95 on this site and our 250g bag works out at $99.80 a kilo, so $40 a kilo sits inside what direct-to-customer biltong actually sells for in New Zealand.
*Monthly GP calculated on $40 margin per kilo.
Two ways to run the chamber
Slabs pay monthly. Smalls pay weekly.
One load, slabs
25kg of wet meat comes out at about 12.5kg of biltong in a four-day cycle. That is around 7.5 loads a month, or about 94kg of finished biltong a month.
One day, smalls
On trays, the KK25 turns out up to 10kg of finished smalls every 24 hours. Stokkies and snapsticks are the products that pay weekly, because they dry in a day rather than four.
Free NZ shipping. 12-month warranty on all three. Finance from $8 a day.
Who runs this bundle
Three ways people run this bundle
The market stall or online brand
The biggest restriction when building a side hustle is time. Fitting the production cycle around a day job is hard enough, never mind running the business and managing sales. This bundle makes production as efficient and professional as possible in the most time-poor stage of the business.
The small butchery counter
You are already buying silverside in bulk. This bundle turns the same meat you already handle into biltong at a price per kilo your raw counter cannot reach, and it is a differentiation other butchers aren’t doing.
The farm gate
You raise it, you get it processed, and instead of selling it as a commodity you add value by making biltong or jerky. As one producer put it: the more of that work I do myself, the more of the profits I get to keep.

Before you buy
Questions people ask before they buy this bundle
Because size isn’t the only consideration. Home boxes are not designed to be run like commercial units; they need a 12-hour cool down after each cycle. The KK25 runs each load under the same conditions at commercial capacity over and over. A lot of the biltong brands who buy from us started on a home box. The bundle is for those ready to scale.
On slabs, one four-day cycle after another gives you around 21 to 22kg of finished biltong a week: 25kg of wet meat in, about 12.5kg out, every four days. On trays of smalls, up to 10kg a day. The same equipment caters for different customers.
For consistent results set the JQ48 to 20mm or less. Thicker than 20mm and we cannot guarantee a consistent result. The JQ48 ships with a 20mm cartridge; 10mm, 5mm and 3mm are available as blade sets.
Dried. The JQ48 handles the fresh meat before drying; the shredder handles the finished biltong after. Two jobs, two machines, and this bundle has both.
It depends on what you make, where you sell it and how much, and we are not the people to rule on it for you. What we can tell you is that we have been through the MPI process, an RMP under the Animal Products Act, for our own biltong production, and our commercial chambers support the controlled, repeatable production and record keeping that process asks for. Talk to MPI or a food safety consultant about your setup, and talk to Warren about what we learned doing ours.
Yes. The KK25 is 750W on 220V single phase and the JQ48 is 450W on 220 to 240V, so a standard socket runs them. No three-phase supply needed.
The chamber holds its temperature and airflow regardless of the weather outside, so a recipe that works in a home unit should behave the same way in the KK25. What changes is the volume. The one thing to get right is slicing: even strips dry evenly, and that is the JQ48’s job.
Yes, and each product page has its own price. The bundle price is the saving for buying the production line together: $448.50 off the three bought individually.
Plenty do, because smalls are the fastest product to turn into cash. The KK25 on trays gives you up to 10kg a day, the JQ48 cuts the strips, and you add slabs when the market asks for them.
