MKN Cast Iron Cooking Table 7EHEG042XST – Electric

Six kilowatts of connected electrical power on a 380–415 V supply sets the MKN 7EHEG042XST cast iron cooking table clearly in the mid‑load bracket for a galley cooking line. With a net weight of 56 kg and a gross weight of 63 kg, it has enough mass for a stable installation while still being manageable during lifting and positioning on board.

On a vessel where most production equipment runs from a 380–415 V distribution, the published electrical supply makes integration straightforward. The 6 kW demand per unit is large enough to be noticed in the load calculation, but not so high that it forces a redesign of the section board when one or two modules are added to an existing line. Electrical planners can place it alongside other 380–415 V galley appliances rather than allocating a special feeder or transformer.

Heat rejected into the room has a direct impact on the HVAC balance in an enclosed galley. The 7EHEG042XST specifies a sensible heat emission of 1560 W and a latent heat emission of 630 W. Those published figures allow HVAC designers to enter real data into their cooling and dehumidification calculations instead of relying on generic allowances. The 1560 W sensible component drives coil and chilled‑water sizing; the 630 W latent component feeds into the dehumidification and condensate load assessment for the extract and make‑up air system.

Compliance with DIN 18851 for commercial kitchens gives a design team a recognised reference point for construction and hygiene. For a naval architect or galley consultant, that standardisation simplifies coordination with worktops, wall claddings and other equipment designed to DIN geometry and cleanability criteria. Fully welded seams reduce the number of open joints where grease, food residues and wash water can collect, which is significant in a galley that is cleaned with frequent wet‑wash or spray routines. Fewer seams also mean fewer sealant lines to inspect and maintain over the vessel’s life.

Because the net weight is 56 kg and the gross weight 63 kg, handling at the shipyard or during refit can usually be achieved with standard lifting aids rather than custom rigging. That matters where units have to be moved through narrow doors or up companionways before final placement. Once set and fixed, the combination of weight and welded construction supports long‑term dimensional stability under everyday mechanical stresses.

Build and control

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

This cooking table suits a galley specification that can accommodate a 6 kW electric cast iron surface on a 380–415 V supply and values DIN 18851 conformity with welded construction. It is the wrong choice where the design intent is to minimise installed electrical load per module, or where the concept is built entirely around other heat sources so an additional 6 kW electric plate would unnecessarily increase both the electrical and thermal load.
