INFRICO AN501SC – sausage curing and drying cabinet, 500 l

INFRICO AN501SC is a specialist 500 l cabinet for sausage seasoning, maturation and controlled drying in restaurants, butcher shops and small production facilities. The manufacturer specifically designs it for sausage drying. Its temperature and humidity controller provides 6 programmes with adjustable parameters. Operating range: +4…+16 °C.

How drying works. During the active stage, temperature, humidity and fans are controlled and moisture condenses on the evaporator. During the rest stage, active regulation and air movement pause, allowing moisture to migrate from the product centre towards its surface. Alternating stages can reduce excessively fast surface drying and case hardening. Timing must suit the raw material, sausage diameter and validated process.

Production uses. Fermented sausages can enter this cabinet for drying and maturation after fermentation. If a starter culture needs temperatures above +16 °C, use a separate suitable fermentation chamber. Group similar diameters, leave airflow gaps and track weight loss. Assess completion against the recipe’s water activity (a_w) and, where relevant, pH requirements.

Other potential products. Whole-muscle cured meats such as coppa or bresaola-style products require a validated process suited to the cabinet. Fish drying requires a species-specific, validated preparation, salting, drying and hygiene process. The manufacturer declares AN for sausages; it is not presented as a universal fish dryer. Separate fish and meat batches and clean between them as specified. This cabinet does not smoke or cook food.

AISI 304 stainless-steel interior and exterior, rounded internal joints, replaceable door gaskets and 55 mm insulation support daily professional operation. Supplied with 3 hanging rails and 1 door. Electronic fans, R290 refrigerant and IP65 control. Dimensions (W × D × H): 687 × 700 × 2030 mm, following the 2026-06-12 data sheet.
