Herco MD 003
Meat maturing unit with a closed chamber of 58 litres
The Herco MD 003 is a meat maturing unit with a closed chamber of 58 litres, built in 2001 and approved for operation in a pressure range from –1 to +15 bar. According to the nameplate, the working medium is oxygen and meat (O₂/Fleisch). The compact chamber is suited to cases where meat is to mature under controlled conditions in small batches, e.g. in meat plants, test kitchens and when developing new recipes.
How does the Herco MD 003 work?
The meat is placed in a closed 58 l chamber, which is sealed with 4 clamp screws M20 x 85. The chamber is designed for a working pressure from vacuum (–1 bar) to overpressure (+15 bar) on the shell side, at a design temperature of 20°C, and the filling medium is oxygen (O₂). The tight, pressure-resistant construction allows the process to be run in a controlled atmosphere, isolated from the surroundings.
Key advantages of the Herco MD 003
The closed chamber allows meat to mature under repeatable, controlled conditions, independent of the hall environment. The wide pressure range (–1 to +15 bar) gives a lot of room to set process parameters, and the 58 l capacity allows work with small batches, which makes trials easier and limits the risk of raw material losses.
The design, closed with four clamp screws, is simple to operate, and the CE marking confirms conformity with the requirements applicable on the European market.
