MKN Chip Warmer 1320601 – HotLine

One work zone, a 305 x 510 x 215 mm heated well and just 1 kW connected load define the MKN 1320601 chip warmer for HotLine. At 400 x 700 x 700 mm overall it fits straight into a 700 mm-deep cooking line without asking for extra deck area.

On a vessel, the 230 V supply and 1 kW draw make this a light electrical load that can usually be picked up from local distribution rather than the main galley bus. The compact footprint matters where the counter run is shared between fryers, ranges and pass equipment; this unit occupies a single 400 mm module while still taking a full GN 1/1 container. Net weight is 33 kg, so it can be handled into place without heavy lifting gear, but it is not a loose tabletop appliance once built into a HotLine array.

The working surface of 305 x 510 x 215 mm is dimensioned to accept GN 1/1 containers, which is the container format most fryers and chip dumps on board use for transfer. That keeps the handling simple: basket out of the fryer, into a GN, and the GN drops straight into the chip warmer well. With only one work zone the unit is clearly aimed at a single holding duty rather than multiple segregated products. Electrical power at 1 kW is aligned with holding rather than high-intensity reheating, which is appropriate for a chip pass station where the product should not be driven further in colour.

Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on wetted parts is a material choice that suits a marine galley exposed to salt and frequent cleaning. In practice that means the areas in contact with condensate, cleaning water or food liquids are in a grade that withstands chloride attack significantly better than a standard worktop alloy. Gross weight at 39 kg allows for packaging and transport; for refit work that figure is useful for planning crane or trolley capacity from the quay to the galley.

Build and control

• Self-supporting closed construction
• Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) wetted parts
• Ergonomic knob control
• Accepts GN 1/1 containers

This is the right choice where a HotLine-based cooking line already carries the fryers and only a compact single-zone chip holding position is needed at the pass. It is the wrong choice for a large-volume service that needs several independently controlled holding zones or higher connected loads to manage mixed products.
