MKN Electric Griddle Plate 8EGRP040DMGS – MaxPower

5.8 kW on a single heating zone defines the MKN 8EGRP040DMGS as a compact but fully rated electric griddle plate. The module is supplied as an electric version with a hinged lid and IPX6 water protection, so it can sit in a wet galley line without being a weak point at cleaning time.

The electrical data on this unit are aligned with a shipboard three-phase system: 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz with fuse protection at 3×16 A. That allows it to be planned into an existing galley distribution board using standard protective devices, rather than needing a dedicated feed arrangement. Where a vessel runs a mixed load of combi steamers, kettles and cooking modules, having clearly stated fuse protection simplifies the load calculation and coordination with the yard’s electrical engineer.

With one single heating zone and a maximum power rating of 5.8 kW, this module is suited to focused cooking tasks where control and footprint matter more than having multiple zones in one body. The single-zone layout also makes its power demand predictable: there is no stacking of loads from several independently driven plates within the same frame. For refits where spare capacity on the switchboard is limited, that clarity is valuable.

The IPX6 protection rating is central in a marine galley. IPX6 means the housing is protected against high-pressure water jets, so the module can be washed down using standard galley spray methods rather than relying on manual wiping. On a vessel that cleans equipment in place, that directly influences labour and hygiene planning, because the module can stay in position while the deck and adjacent units are hosed.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection
• IPX6 ingress protection for cleaning with water jets
• Hinged lid over the cooking zone

The hinged lid is more than a cover; it is part of how the unit interacts with the ventilation system and the rest of the line. Closing the lid during certain cooking processes reduces vapour release into the galley and helps keep adjacent work areas dry, which can be important in a compact marine galley where extraction capacity is shared between several appliances.

This griddle plate is a good fit where a designer needs a single, clearly defined heating zone at 5.8 kW on a 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz supply, with IPX6 resistance to the washdown regime. It is not the right choice where multiple independently controlled zones are required in one footprint, or where the electrical system cannot provide 3×16 A protection to a three-phase load.
