MKN Combi Steamer DKECOD621-615G2 – Oven, Electric, FlexiCombi

Six GN 1/1 levels, six GN 2/1 levels and two FlexiRack sets of six give the DKECOD621-615G2 a chamber that is specified for 30–240 meals per day on GN 1/1 and 30–310 meals on FlexiRack. That range, delivered from a 997 x 799 x 1700 mm body, points it at a production galley that has to move more than one sitting through a single machine.

On board, the 997 x 799 mm footprint and 1700 mm height are numbers the designer has to reconcile with bulkheads, hood and service corridors before the unit is selected. A net weight of 248 kg affects both deck loading and how the body is mounted or welded down; on a vessel where heavy galley equipment sits over accommodation or tanks, that weight belongs in the structural model rather than being treated as an afterthought. The 400 V supply and 10.4 + 20.9 kW electrical power rating give the electrical engineer clear figures for feeder sizing and selectivity.

Capacity in GN containers and meal counts gives two ways of planning the service. The GN 1/1 capacity is listed as 6, with GN 2/1 capacity also 6, and FlexiRack capacity as 2 x 6 (12). Where a menu is based on GN 1/1 containers, the 30–240 meals per day figure is the realistic planning band; where FlexiRack is used to run smaller portions crosswise, the 30–310 meals per day figure is the one to work with. The maximum load weight of 72 + 54 kg sits behind those numbers and should be respected when configuring trolleys and loading patterns.

The split power figure of 10.4 + 20.9 kW is as important as the total, because it tells the yard how the load is distributed across internal circuits. In a galley where power management is handled by a central load-shedding system, that detail helps keep the main switchboard from tripping when several high-load appliances come on line together. At the same time, the net weight of 248 kg and the specified dimensions make it possible to check clearances for installation and maintenance routes, including door widths and stair landings if the unit has to be brought in after build.

Build and control

• FlexiCombi series electric combi steamer
• GN 1/1 capacity: 6
• GN 2/1 capacity: 6
• FlexiRack capacity: 2 x 6 (12)
• Maximum load weight: 72 + 54 kg
• Dimensions (L x W x H): 997 x 799 x 1700 mm
• Net weight: 248 kg
• Electrical power: 10.4 + 20.9 kW
• Voltage: 400 V
• Meals per day: 30–240 (GN 1/1)
• Meals per day: 30–310 (FlexiRack)

This unit fits a main or central galley that needs one combi to cover up to 310 meals per day with mixed GN 1/1, GN 2/1 and FlexiRack handling in a single footprint. It is the wrong choice for a pantry or small crew galley that stays well below the 30-meal lower band, where a smaller body in the same series would release deck space and reduce installed electrical power.
