Talk to Warren
Tell me what you make. I'll tell you what you need.
No sales pitch. Warren runs the commercial side, makes biltong with the same kit, and will talk you out of a machine as fast as into one.
Kia ora 👋 Warren here. I run the commercial side at Kalahari Khabu.
Looking to start selling biltong or looking to upgrade your capacity?
Tell me what you want to make and how much of it.
Quickest way to reach me 👇
Do I need the KK25, or is a KK16 enough?
Depends on your current orders and your current run rate.
A KK16 is a home unit and should have a cool down period between runs.
So if you're already turning people away or running two boxes, the KK25 does 20 to 25kg a load and can run back to back.
We also have bigger units that can hold 100kg+ loads of wet meat.
Can I do biltong smalls and jerky too?
Definitely. Biltong Smalls are the fastest thing to turn into cash: 24-hour cycles on trays, up to 10kg a day out of the KK25. You can mix between biltong slabs and smalls depending on demand.
What about the licence stuff?
We run our own commercial set up and have gotten an MPI license without issue. We can walk you through the steps required to get you ready for review.

Hi, I run a butchery and want to add value to my business by offering biltong and jerky.
Sounds good. How much do you reckon you'd sell a week?
Looking to process 100+ kg batches of wet meat.
We would recommend the KK100. One load is 100 to 120kg of wet meat slabs or 60kg of jerky. It does dry sausages too. Perfect for a butchery who already has access to the cuts and is making sausages in house.
Inside size and hanging clearance? Racks and hooks included?
Comes with 42 stainless steel hanging bars across three rack systems
15 large-format SS304 trays for jerky and small goods
Is the temperature adjustable?
Yes, the built in digital display you can switch between presets optimised for different products. We help you set everything up, including connecting your unit to your laptop and cell via our app.
Food contact? And is it up to MPI standards?
Housing, trays, handles and locks are all SUS304 stainless. On MPI, we have put this exact unit in multiple butcheries around New Zealand. So we know that you can get your license with this set up.
Warranty? And what if I outgrow it?
1 year on working parts. We have all the parts local in Matakana and will support you for the lifetime of the product. We have larger units ready for when you want to scale.
