MKN Combi Steamer FKECOD115TG2 – Oven, Electric, FlexiCombi

Ten GN 1/1 levels in a 997 x 799 x 1060 mm body give the MKN FKECOD115TG2 a clear production role: a full-size FlexiCombi chamber without moving into the tall 20-level footprint. With a maximum load weight of 90 kg and a 15.9 kW electric connection, it is sized for medium shipboard galleys that need real batch capacity but do not have the height or deck area for a larger rack.

On a vessel, the published 80–150 meals per day on GN 1/1 containers, and 80–200 meals per day when using FlexiRack, let the designer translate menu planning into equipment count. A galley serving towards the top end of those ranges can treat this oven as the main hot line engine; below that, it becomes the shared workhorse for cooking, finishing and regeneration. The 145 kg net weight and compact 799 mm width also matter in refits, where existing structural openings and lifts limit what can be brought on board.

Electrically the unit is specified at 400 V with an electrical power draw of 15.9 kW. That figure has to be carried into the switchboard and load-shedding calculations; a pair of these ovens represents a meaningful share of a typical galley distribution. Because the electrical power is fixed on the data sheet, there is no ambiguity for the yard or the ship’s electrical engineer about feeder size or breaker selection.

Capacity is where the FlexiRack option changes how the same physical chamber is used. Standard GN 1/1 operation offers 10 levels, which the manufacturer rates at 80–150 meals per day. With 10 FlexiRack levels, the effective loading corresponds to approximately 17 x GN 1/1, and the daily capacity rises to 80–200 meals. On a ship where peak demand sits near the top of that band only on certain days, the same oven can run most of the week on GN containers and switch to FlexiRack when more portions are needed without altering the footprint.

At 997 x 799 x 1060 mm and 145 kg, handling and siting are straightforward compared to taller bodies. The dimensions still need to be checked against deckhead height, deck penetrations and surrounding equipment to preserve cleaning clearances and air circulation, but they are compatible with the bay widths used in many modular cooking lines. The 90 kg maximum load weight is a hard planning limit: overloading above that figure is not a way to stretch capacity, it is a way to stress the rack system and door.

This FlexiCombi is the right choice where a single 10-level chamber can cover a service of 80–150 meals on GN or up to 200 meals with FlexiRack, and where a 15.9 kW, 400 V connection fits comfortably within the galley’s electrical budget. It is the wrong choice for a high-volume main galley that consistently exceeds the stated meal figures, where a larger body or multiple ovens should be specified instead of running one unit permanently at its limit.
