The KK372 is built for commercial butcheries, large-scale biltong manufacturers and export-focused operators who want to process up to 400kg of meat at artisan-level quality. It delivers the volume required for serious growth while reducing operational risk through:
  • Higher output.
  • Shorter batch cycles.
  • Multiple product lines.
  • Compliance-ready control.
With dedicated drying modes for jerky and traditional biltong built into one system, the KK372 replaces multiple specialised units and accelerates your path to positive cash flow. But scale means nothing if you have to sacrifice authenticity.  Traditional biltong relies on controlled airflow, proper spacing and gradual moisture extraction to develop texture and flavour correctly. Jerky demands speed without compromising structure. The KK372 allows you to switch between these very different drying principles at the touch of a button. This is artisan methodology executed at industrial capacity. Every batch maintains:
  • Consistent texture.
  • Even drying across slabs and trays.
  • Reliable flavour development.
  • Minimises water weight loss.
While eliminating instances of case hardening and mould build up.  When traditional quality is preserved at scale, your product commands premium prices. By investing in the KK372 you are ensuring that growth does not dilute what made your product desirable in the first place.
  • Commercial butcheries scaling production beyond small-batch drying.
  • Large-scale biltong and jerky manufacturers supplying retail chains.
  • Export-focused operators operating under RMP and HACCP programmes.
  • Protein brands expanding into national or international distribution.

The KK372 is built to process up to 400kgs of meat at artisan level quality every single batch.  

That is the difference between small-batch production and supply-level manufacturing.

With the KK372, you gain the capacity to:

Produce up to 240kg of wet jerky within 6–7 hours under force-dry settings

Dry up to 240kg of biltong smalls in approximately 18 hours

Process up to 400kg of 20mm sliced biltong slabs within 72–84 hours

That translates into:

  • Higher daily throughput
  • Different product lines with one machine
  • Predictable batch cycles
  • Faster stock replenishment
  • Stronger contract fulfilment capability

How we achieve this level of scale: 

80 stainless steel trays (800mm x 600mm) for flat products and small formats

108 hanging bars (650mm) for slab drying and traditional hanging production

But the KK372 is not just about capacity.

When you can produce more than your competitors without sacrificing quality, you don’t compete on price, you compete on value.

That’s how volume becomes profit.

That is production power.

The KK372 allows you to produce force dried jerky and traditional air dried biltong at the press of a button. 

One machine. Multiple product lines. At scale.

We call it the Variable Speed Drive (VSD) System.

  • Gently dry premium biltong using controlled airflow for traditional texture and flavour development
  • Force dry jerky at higher airflow rates for rapid turnaround and commercial batch production

That means you are able to consistently achieve artisan-style quality at commercial scale.

Without being locked into a single production style or forced to invest in multiple specialised units.

Reducing your floor space requirements which means less upfront capital expenditure while future-proofing your operation as demand evolves.

The KK372 is not just a drying chamber.

It is production flexibility built to de-risk your business and increase your profits.

Meat production has the highest food safety standards of any food category in New Zealand. 

It is classed as a high-risk product under the Animal Products Act 1999.

Primary operators must run Risk Management Programmes (RMPs), not just standard Food Control Plans. These require technical validation, structured documentation and independent verification.

High-volume producers face frequent audits. In export environments, compliance is often “overspecified” to meet international market access standards in the USA, EU and beyond.

There is no room for error.

But compliance isn’t just about passing audits.

It is about protecting your customers, your reputation and your right to operate.

In meat production, hygiene is non-negotiable. One contaminated batch can undo years of brand building.

The KK372 is engineered to support both compliance and food hygiene at scale.

Constructed from food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, designed for easy cleaning and continuous operation, and equipped with integrated iCloud-based intelligence software, it ensures your drying environment remains controlled, documented and defensible.

With integrated sensors, digital batch tracking and iCloud connectivity, every cycle becomes measurable and traceable from anywhere in the world from your smartphone.

You can:

  • Log temperature and humidity conditions
  • Generate detailed batch reports
  • Maintain traceability for audits
  • Monitor performance remotely
  • Receive alerts if parameters move outside target range

This transforms compliance from a paperwork burden into a built-in operational safeguard.

When your drying environment is digitally recorded, hygienically controlled and audit-ready, you reduce regulatory risk, protect your export capability and strengthen your credibility with retailers and distributors.

Because world-class production means nothing if you cannot maintain the licence to operate or the trust of the people eating your product.

  • 116 trays/8 meat hanging rack large capacity
  • 12 motors + 12 fan blade drying system, better effect and higher efficiency.
  • The trays size is 400X380MM, and the layer gap between two trays is 250mm.
  • The meat bars with hooks can be used to hang meat and sausages.
  • Able to dehydrate all kinds of  meat, biltong, seafood, grains, herbs, beans, snacks, etc
  • Digital precise control, easy operation, low damage rate of parts.
  • 0.8mm thick SUS304 Stainless steel housing/SUS304 Stainless steel trays, handle, locks
