MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI012DFFS – Electric

Twelve point five litres of oil on a single work zone defines the 7EFRI012DFFS as a compact fryer for focused production rather than bulk output. With 6 kW of electric power on tap, it is sized to sit in a line without overloading the galley’s electrical allocation.

On board, matching the fryer to the vessel’s supply is critical, and this model is specified for a 380–415 V FlexPower connection. That range aligns with typical marine low-voltage systems, so it can be integrated into the existing distribution without transformers. Fuse protection of 3 x 16 A keeps the circuit design straightforward and allows the fryer to share a panel with other midsized galley appliances where appropriate. Net weight is 42 kg, rising to 49 kg gross for shipping and handling calculations; both numbers matter when the unit has to be moved through narrow access routes or lifted into place.

The 12.5 litre tank capacity gives enough thermal mass for a steady frying temperature across a single basket, while remaining small enough for manageable oil changes and filtering. On a vessel where waste oil handling is a controlled operation, that volume is a planning figure for storage and disposal as much as for cooking. A single work zone simplifies operation and programming of frying routines, which suits smaller teams and standardised menus.

The 6 kW electrical load is concentrated into a body that has to survive marine cleaning routines, which is where the IPX6 protection and fully welded seams come in. Galleys are washed down aggressively, and a unit that can withstand high-pressure spray from any direction without water ingress reduces both maintenance risk and electrical safety concerns. The published IPX6 rating is the assurance that this fryer is built for that environment rather than for a dry shore kitchen that only ever sees a wipe-down.

Build and control

• Hinged lid
• Fully welded seams
• IP-rated water protection
• IPX6 ingress protection
• 380–415 V FlexPower electrical supply
• 6 kW electrical power rating
• Fuse protection 3 x 16 A
• Single work zone configuration

This fryer is the right choice where a galley needs a single, well-defined frying position and has around 6 kW available on a 380–415 V FlexPower supply. It is not the right unit for operations that rely on multiple oil qualities or very high simultaneous throughput; those should look to larger or multi-zone bodies.
