Hot-Water Knife Sterilizer, 400 mm, 30-99°C

The Valko STA 70 is a vertical hot-water immersion knife sterilizer for butcheries, gastronomies, large-scale distribution and restaurant kitchens, accommodating blades up to 400 mm in length. Running at 2.5 kW on a standard 230 V supply, it heats water across a wide range — up to 99 °C — to deliver full blade sterilization while keeping handle immersion only partial, protecting grip materials during the cycle.

Built for busy production environments, the STA 70 features an easily removable stainless steel knife holder for quick cleaning and a detachable control unit for flexible placement. A built-in lack-of-water safety thermostat prevents dry-run damage, making the unit reliable in continuous-use settings. At 14 kg and a compact 700 × 165 × 510 mm footprint, it fits neatly into tight prep areas without sacrificing capacity.
