MKN Cooking Module 7EPST023XM – Electric

Ninety-nine litres of stated capacity and 13.3 kW of electrical power define the MKN 7EPST023XM as a bulk cooking position rather than a small auxiliary pot. With a net weight of 173 kg it is clearly intended as a fixed installation module, handling main production volumes in a compact footprint while keeping GN 2/1 containers in play through the line.

The electrical supply is listed as 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz. That three-phase band matches the way many marine switchboards are specified, so the unit can usually be taken straight from the specification sheet into the load schedule. On a vessel where multiple galley appliances share the same board, the declared 13.3 kW demand is the figure the electrical designer has to reserve for this single position.

A 99 litre capacity means a chef can plan substantial batches of soups, sauces or other liquid dishes through one module, which matters on ships where menu cycles repeat and production benefits from predictable batch sizes. Because the module accepts GN 2/1 containers, cooked product can be moved directly into the same format used for holding and service, avoiding unnecessary transfer steps. The hinged lid gives control over evaporation and condensate, which helps keep surrounding decks and bulkheads cleaner and reduces the moisture the ventilation system has to remove.

Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on all wetted parts is a key material choice where chloride exposure is part of everyday operation. The cooking well, interfaces, and any areas in regular contact with water or food are specified in this grade, and the radiused internal corners reduce the risk of soil accumulating in sharp junctions. That combination makes routine wash-down more straightforward for the crew when the galley is cleaned between services.

The gross weight of 196 kg is the figure to use when routing the module through a yard or onto a vessel, and it is also relevant when checking the local deck loading at the intended position. IP-rated water protection is specified because the unit will sit in a space that is cleaned with water, not just wiped down. With the electrical components protected to an IP rating, regular washing of the surrounding area can be part of standard operating procedure rather than something teams avoid around powered equipment.

Build and control

• Accepts GN 2/1 containers
• Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) wetted parts
• Radiused internal corners for hygienic cleaning
• Hinged lid
• IP-rated water protection

This unit is a solid choice where a galley needs a dedicated 99 litre cooking position on a 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz supply and wants to stay with GN 2/1 containers from production through to service. It is the wrong choice where only small-batch cooking is required or where the electrical distribution cannot comfortably allocate 13.3 kW to a single appliance without affecting other loads.
