Galley Food Preparation Equipment

10 to 129 litre prep equipment for busy galleys

From a 10 litre Electrolux Professional vegetable peeler up to a 129 litre MKN tilting dough roller, this category covers the bulk preparation work rather than finishing on the line. The smaller peeler quotes up to 160 kg per hour, which turns a sack of potatoes into a short batch job rather than a shift.
These units all run electric, which simplifies hook-up where steam is reserved for kettles and laundry. They take the repetitive bulk work off the galley team rather than off the cooking battery.

Footprint, weight and deck loading

Widths in this group run from 440 mm to 685 mm on the listed products, so they sit comfortably in a 600 or 800 mm galley grid without awkward overhangs. The smallest vegetable peeler is 440 mm wide and 690 mm deep at a gross shipping weight of 49 kg, light enough for most deck structures but still needing a planned foundation and drain route. At the other end, the 129 litre MKN dough roller carries a net weight of 246 kg and a gross of 269 kg before product load, which is a material point for naval architects.
Heights and capacities matter for ergonomics as well as structure. A 10 litre chamber keeps loading and unloading close in and quick; once capacity climbs towards 129 litres the operator is working with long utensils and tilting or discharge becomes the specifier’s focus. In cramped galleys, the 401–600 mm width band on roughly half the line helps pull prep back from congested cooking aisles.

Electrical supply and frequency choices

Across the four listed products, supply voltages span 100–120 V, 380–415 V, 440 V and 480 V. Three of them specify 60 Hz. The 100–120 V single-phase vegetable peeler suits smaller yachts or refit scenarios where only light-duty single-phase power is free in the prep area.
The higher-powered dough roller sits on 380–415 V with a quoted maximum electrical power of 20 kW, putting it into the same switchboard conversation as main cooking appliances. That figure drives cable sizing, breaker choice and discrimination, especially where other 20 kW-class units already sit on the same distribution section. Where ships operate mixed shore power at 50 Hz and onboard 60 Hz, matching the rated frequency of these motor-driven machines to the ship matters, because a motor run off its rated frequency does not run at its rated speed.

Materials, washdown and water

Facet data shows one product with AISI 316L wetted parts and one flagged as washdown protected. The 316L wetted interior matters where salt, starch and chlorinated cleaners linger, raising the corrosion threshold compared with 304 in those zones. Washdown protection ties directly to galley cleaning practice: where the galley is cleaned with a spray gun, the protected unit is the one that can stay in the wet zone.

Cooking belongs with Kettles, Bratt Pans and Bain-Maries

This page holds four machines and is the wrong place when the task is cooking. Boiling at volume belongs with Boiling Kettles, searing and braising with Bratt Pans, and holding prepared food at temperature with Bain-Maries.
