I agree with your thoughts about the circulation in a heated cabinet. I think that’s how most of these machines work that you purchase. I have not seen a filter before, but some machines may have them.
Biltong can go vrot in a machine, although this is rare. It mostly happens in the summer when there is high humidity (especially at the coast), combined with not having heat and a weak fan. I think that using way too little spice (salt) may also contribute to ending up with vrot biltong.
If your machine has strong vans with a bit of heat you will be fine. If you have a machine with small fans, but you keep the heat on you will be fine.
