Both models deliver identical aging performance with finish and aesthetic being the primary differentiators, allowing you to select the perfect match for your establishment's design language.
How Does the INFRICO AGB701MD Range Deliver Perfect Dry Aging Conditions for Premium Beef?
Equipped with a digital controller featuring temperature and humidity control with touch keyboard, the AGB701MD range provides the precise environmental conditions essential for successful dry aging. The system maintains optimal temperature and humidity levels that encourage enzymatic breakdown of muscle fibres while preventing spoilage, developing the concentrated flavour and buttery texture prized by discerning diners.
The high-density 75mm polyurethane insulation ensures stable internal conditions despite external temperature fluctuations, while the magnetic gasket with 4-camera 'cleanless' effect maintains perfect sealing to preserve the carefully controlled aging environment. This precision engineering allows UK butchers and steakhouses to consistently produce restaurant-quality aged beef that commands premium prices.
Which Premium Build Features Make the AGB701MD Range Ideal for Front-of-House Display?
The full glass door with LED interior lighting transforms dry aging from a hidden process into captivating theatre, allowing customers to witness premium cuts maturing before their eyes. This visual merchandising creates emotional connection with the product, justifies premium pricing, and differentiates your establishment from competitors using standard cold storage.
AGB701MDA – Stainless Steel Meat Ager: Features high-grade 304 stainless steel construction throughout, delivering the ultimate in durability, hygiene, and professional aesthetics. The premium stainless finish suits modern butcheries, high-end steakhouses, and Michelin-calibre restaurant kitchens where visual impact matches culinary excellence.
AGB701MDB – Black Lacquered Meat Ager: Showcases black lacquered galvanized steel exterior with stainless steel interior, offering sophisticated aesthetics for contemporary dining spaces and boutique butcheries. The curved joints facilitate easy cleaning while the contrasting black exterior creates dramatic visual impact in front-of-house environments.
How Does the Design of the AGB701MD Range Enhance Usability and Hygiene Compliance?
The self-closing door ensures the aging environment remains sealed even during busy service periods, preventing temperature and humidity fluctuations that could compromise meat quality. The lock fitted as standard protects valuable aging inventory — premium cuts can represent thousands of pounds in stock value — and restricts access to trained personnel only.
Height-adjustable stainless steel legs (130-180mm) allow precise levelling on uneven floors and facilitate thorough cleaning beneath the unit, supporting UK food hygiene regulations. The easily removable magnetic gasket simplifies maintenance and ensures long-term sealing integrity, while the inlaid guides and bottom (AGB701MDB) or stainless steel construction (AGB701MDA) prevent moisture accumulation and bacterial growth.
