Commercial Vessel Galley Equipment

The ship selection without the small laundry

Ferries, tugs, crew transfer vessels and fishing vessels share the ship selection almost unchanged, with one clear difference. Miele's Little Giants washers and dryers are not mapped to commercial vessels, so the laundry here starts at the Benchmark range: washer-extractors from 9 kg, air-vented Benchmark dryers and Professional rotary ironers. As on the Ship page, the CounterSL counter line and the Junior combi steamers are also left out.

Service peaks on the hot line

A ferry galley or the mess on a working vessel serves in peaks around sailings and watch changes, and the equipment that absorbs a peak is the fast cooking: deep fat fryers, griddles and fry tops, induction and combi ovens. Fryers and griddle-type equipment are among the largest groups on this page, each above a hundred products, with fryers from 12.5 to 115 litres in single-zone and two-zone versions.
One choice worth making deliberately on a smaller vessel is between one large fryer and two smaller ones: two zones on one body split the load at the same footprint, while separate fryers keep a second position working if one is out of service.

Dishwashing at turnaround speed

Where the galley has to be cleared between sailings or watches, rack-type dishwashing sets the pace. The green&clean rack machines are listed at 150 to 200 racks per hour, and every dishwasher in the catalogue is mapped to commercial vessels, from undercounter machines to rack lines.
Fresh water sets the other limit. Rack-conveyor machines range from about 1.2 US gallons per rack to 0.54 on high-efficiency designs, against crew consumption of roughly 100 litres per person per day on a commercial vessel.

Payment-ready and energy-managed equipment

On vessels where crew or contractors use the laundry themselves, 38 machines on this page are listed as payment system ready. Energy management readiness appears on 182 products across the cooking and laundry ranges, which matters where galley and laundry share limited generating capacity and the operator wants control over when heavy loads run.

Supply voltage and steam

400 V is the most common voltage on the page and 106 products name 440 V; 50 Hz and 60 Hz are named in nearly equal numbers, so the vessel's own system has to be fixed before models are compared. 28 products are steam heated, most of them boiling kettles, which is only relevant where the vessel has steam available at the galley.

Small workboats and the Little Giants range

A crew transfer vessel or small workboat with a 6 to 8 kg laundry requirement will not find it here: Little Giants machines are on the Boat, Yacht and Ship pages instead, and so is the choice of heat-pump dryers. The CounterSL counter line is on the Boat and Yacht pages. Walk-in cold stores, extraction, ice machines, sinks and shelving are also outside the list at the moment.
