MKN Deep Fat Fryer 1320330 – Electric, HotLine

Thirty litres of oil in a single work zone, heated by a 10 kW electric load: the MKN 1320330 is the compact deep fat fryer module in the HotLine series. With a 500 x 700 x 700 mm body, it fits a one-piece line-up without consuming more deck than a standard 700-depth cooking block.

That footprint matters on board because every 500 mm of length in a cooking line is a commitment of deck area, power and extraction. At 400 V and 10 kW electrical power, the fryer can be planned cleanly into a galley switchboard that already serves other electric HotLine modules. The 700 mm height keeps the 400 x 400 x 235 mm working surface in line with adjacent equipment, so baskets move across without steps that catch in service.

The 30-litre capacity in one tank is sized for a focused service station rather than bulk production. In a shipboard galley this suits a dedicated frying position on a main line, or a specialist zone in a smaller outlet, where a second tank would sit idle for most of the day. The single work zone simplifies both operation and maintenance; temperature is driven from one thermostatic control and all the oil is carried to the same quality and change-out schedule.

Construction is in stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout, so the external surfaces and the fryer well share the same material behaviour when exposed to hot oil vapour and cleaning chemicals. Self-supporting closed construction and fully welded seams give the module the rigidity it needs to bolt into a continuous HotLine run without additional framing. Net weight is 44 kg, with a quoted gross weight of 51 kg for handling and logistics planning.

The working surface of 400 x 400 x 235 mm defines the usable oil area, and gives a clear planning figure when matching basket sets or positioning the fryer under a canopy. With one work zone, the operator has a single control position, and the depth allows standard basket immersion while keeping oil volume at the specified 30 litres.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Fully welded seams
• Ergonomic knob control
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Drain valve for oil removal
• Thermostatic temperature control

This fryer is the right choice where a single 30-litre tank covers the fried element of the menu and where 10 kW at 400 V is available on the cooking line. It is the wrong choice for a concept that needs separated product streams or very high peak throughput; those scenarios call for larger bodies or multi-tank configurations in the same series.
