MKN Cast Iron Cooking Table 7EHEG042XHV – Chrome-plated, Electric

Six kilowatts of installed electric power at 380–415 V set the operating envelope for the MKN 7EHEG042XHV cast iron cooking table. At a net weight of 56 kg it is a compact module, yet substantial enough to be integrated securely into a galley line or suite.

On board, those electrical and mass figures are part of the basic design calculation. A 6 kW load at 380–415 V can usually be accommodated on an existing three-phase board section without a redesign, and the published net weight gives the yard and naval architect a clear value to plug into deck loading checks. Where equipment sits on a plinth, 56 kg also helps dimension any reinforcement or intermediate framing.

The thermal data is unusually explicit for a hot plate. Sensible heat emission is specified at 1,560 W and latent at 630 W. That split allows the HVAC engineer to decide how much of the 7EHEG042XHV’s output is raising room temperature and how much is adding moisture to the galley air, and to design extraction and make-up air so that this station does not become a local hot spot. On a closed vessel with limited air-conditioning capacity, having a defined 630 W latent contribution from this unit avoids guesswork in dehumidification planning.

The 6 kW rating frames how this cooking table is best deployed. It has enough capacity to take a steady flow of pans in a main line or to serve as a dedicated point for one process without imposing the electrical and HVAC penalty of far larger appliances. Because heat emissions are published, planners can position it confidently under an existing canopy or within a compact front-cooking set-up, knowing what 1,560 W of sensible and 630 W of latent load mean for that zone.

Construction is tied to compliance with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens. That standard governs design and testing for cooking appliances, so in practice it translates into defined hygiene and cleanability characteristics. Fully welded seams on the 7EHEG042XHV support that requirement by eliminating open joints where grease and food soil might otherwise accumulate, and by creating closed junctions that can withstand frequent wet cleaning. The chrome-plated cast iron plate provides a smooth working surface that fits into this approach to hygiene and mechanical durability.

The difference between the 56 kg net weight and the 63 kg gross weight is relevant during installation. The gross value is the handling figure for transport and lifting gear sizing, while the lower net figure is what remains on the deck once packaging is removed. For ships built or refitted in constrained yards, these numbers help plan how the unit is brought on board and moved into its final position.

Build and control

• Complies with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens
• Fully welded seams

This unit is a good fit where the requirement is for a defined 6 kW electric cast iron surface with known thermal emissions, and where galley ventilation and electrical capacity are already tight. It is the wrong choice where a single module is expected to replace multiple high-output appliances or to cover peak-load production on its own; in that case a larger body or additional cooking positions from the same manufacturer should be considered.
