MKN Cooking Module 7EPST023XF – Electric

114 litres of capacity in a single vessel gives the 7EPST023XF the volume to handle bulk cooking runs on a compact footprint. With a 10 kW electric load and GN 2/1 compatibility, it sits naturally in a main galley production line that is already planned around gastronorm.

On board, the combination of 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz supply and a 10 kW rating positions this module for ships running a conventional low-voltage three-phase system. The load is concentrated enough that it must be allowed for in the galley’s electrical balance, but it is not in the same class as a large bank of ovens or kettles. At 173 kg net weight, plus 196 kg gross shipping weight, the unit is substantial; it needs a properly detailed foundation, but it is straightforward for the yard to move and install with standard lifting gear.

The 114 litre capacity means this module can take full GN 2/1 containers for batch cooking, regeneration or holding without wasting space around the pans. Where service patterns are built on GN logistics from stores to servery, being able to drop the same containers straight into the well removes a handling step. Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on all wetted parts is a significant specification in a marine galley, where chloride exposure and hot, alkaline cleaning solutions are the rule rather than the exception; the vessel is built for long-term contact with treated water and foodstuffs rather than light-duty use.

IP-rated water protection and a hinged lid work together in day-to-day operation. The IP rating allows cleaning with spray without the same risk profile as an open electrical chassis, and the lid reduces vapour load into the room and protects contents during movement and service breaks. Radiused internal corners are more than a comfort feature — with rounded transitions instead of sharp angles, soil and starches have fewer places to accumulate, and manual cleaning at the end of service is faster and more predictable. Over time, that matters as much as the headline capacity.

This module is the right choice where a galley needs a dedicated 114 litre electric vessel for GN-based production on a 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz network. It is less suitable in a pantry or small mess where loads are too small to justify a 10 kW, 114 litre body that will seldom be filled, or on a vessel standardised entirely on gas-fired cooking.
