Arneg Burgos: 500-litre dry ager with R290 for retail meat departments

Arneg has launched Burgos, a dedicated dry ageing cabinet that positions the ageing process at the centre of the retail meat department. The unit is aimed at supermarkets, butcher's shops, and retailers that want to display premium cuts and make the dry ageing process visible to customers.

Process and refrigeration

Burgos controls temperature, humidity, and ventilation to create the conditions for dry ageing, which the manufacturer states enhances the tenderness and depth of flavour of the meat. The built-in refrigeration unit uses R290 natural refrigerant and a dedicated control system. The evaporator is positioned at the top of the cabinet, freeing internal space and providing a capacity of 500 litres.

Visibility and construction

Four panoramic glass sides put the meat on display and make dry ageing a visible feature of the store. Internal LED lighting at all four corners illuminates the cuts without raising the temperature inside the cabinet. The sides are triple-glazed and tempered for insulation and stable internal conditions. The cabinet body is made from AISI 304 stainless steel, a material suitable for contact with food.

Integration and customisation

Burgos can be installed as a standalone unit or incorporated into a line of Arneg meat section counters, maintaining a consistent look with the Arles, London 4, and other Arneg ranges. The top and bottom panels can be finished in different colours to coordinate the cabinet with the store's interior décor and identity.
