Product Description
The Matfer Bourgeat Knife Sterilising Cabinet is a wall-mounted UV sterilisation unit designed to reduce bacterial contamination on knives stored between uses. In a commercial kitchen, knives move repeatedly between raw meat, fish, and ready-to-eat preparation throughout a service. Leaving them on a board or magnetic rack in that period carries a real cross-contamination risk. This cabinet addresses that by keeping knives under an active UV cycle whenever they are not in use, without requiring any intervention from kitchen staff.
In practice, the cabinet slots naturally into a working kitchen routine. Knives go back into the cabinet between tasks, and the UV sterilisation runs passively. There are no consumables to manage and no complex operating procedure to train staff on. The stainless steel construction stands up well in humid kitchen environments and wipes down quickly at the end of service.
Key operational advantages include:
- Reduces cross-contamination risk between raw and ready-to-eat prep areas
- Supports HACCP compliance as part of a documented hygiene protocol
- Passive UV operation requires no staff input during service
- No consumables — low ongoing maintenance burden
- Stainless steel housing suits damp, high-traffic kitchen conditions
Installation is straightforward. The cabinet mounts to a wall and requires a standard electrical connection. At 1.5kg it is light enough to reposition if your kitchen layout changes, and the shallow 120mm depth means it sits comfortably above a prep station without encroaching on bench space. It is worth confirming that the mounting surface is sound before fitting, particularly in older kitchen builds.
This unit is well suited to smaller and medium-sized kitchens — butchery sections, deli and sandwich operations, fish prep areas, and any environment where knife hygiene forms part of a daily HACCP record. Larger operations running multiple prep sections with a high knife count may find a higher-capacity unit better suited to their needs.
If you would like to talk through how this fits into your hygiene protocol or kitchen setup, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — UV sterilisation between uses can form a documented step within a HACCP hygiene protocol, particularly for kitchens handling both raw and ready-to-eat produce. It works best as part of a broader hygiene approach rather than a standalone measure, so it is worth confirming with your food safety advisor how it fits your existing records.
- The cabinet runs from a standard electrical connection and mounts directly to a wall, so installation is generally straightforward for a qualified electrician or a competent maintenance team. The shallow depth means it fits above most prep stations without difficulty, though it is worth checking that the mounting surface is structurally sound before fitting.
- The cabinet holds up to 20 knives, which suits most smaller and medium-sized prep sections comfortably. If your operation runs multiple prep sections simultaneously or carries a significantly larger knife inventory, a higher-capacity unit may be a more practical fit — we are happy to advise based on your setup.
