MKN Cooking Module 7EPST033XM – Electric

143 litres in a single vessel puts the 7EPST033XM into main-production work rather than a small side station. With 19.6 kW MaxPower available on the electric supply, it is sized to move that volume through a heat-up and service cycle without becoming the bottleneck on the line.

The electrical specification is 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz. That gives the shipyard and electrical engineer a clear design point for cabling and protection, and it fixes the module in the same low-voltage band as other heavy galley consumers. Knowing that this unit can draw up to 19.6 kW at full load matters when a galley is already one of the dominant hotel loads and the remaining capacity on the board has to be shared carefully with other equipment.

Net weight is 227 kg, with 254 kg gross quoted for transport and handling. Those numbers are high enough that the module effectively becomes part of the structure once fixed down, which is what designers look for when they plan a continuous cooking block rather than loose equipment. The weight figures also give the naval architect what is needed to confirm deck loading and to decide whether the unit should sit directly on a welded plinth or on separate support steel.

In use, the 143 litre capacity lends itself to batch production of liquids and one-pot dishes where one cooking vessel feeds several outlets. A hinged lid keeps that volume under control on a moving deck: there is no separate cover to find and secure, and the operator can close the vessel quickly if movement increases or if splashing has to be contained. Radiused internal corners cut down the manual work at clean-down, because there is no sharp internal edge holding product, and that shows up over time in both hygiene results and staff time.

Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on all wetted parts is a material choice driven by corrosion behaviour. The food-contact surfaces are the parts most exposed to salt, stock bases and acidic ingredients; specifying 1.4404 there gives a higher resistance to pitting than less-alloyed alternatives and helps the vessel retain a clean, smooth finish over its service life. An IP-rated water protection level supports the wash-down regime that galleys run between or after services, because the exterior can be cleaned without exposing the internals directly to spray.

This unit is the right choice where a galley needs a single electric cooking vessel in the 143 litre class and has 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz available on the board. It is the wrong choice where production runs are so small that a large fixed vessel will sit part-filled most of the time, or where the design brief rules out electric cooking and standardises on another energy source.
