MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI012DM – Electric

A 12.5 litre oil capacity on a single work zone defines the MKN 7EFRI012DM as a compact, dedicated deep fat fryer. With 10 kW electrical power applied to that oil volume, it is sized as a focused frying position rather than a large multi-tank station.

On a vessel, that 10 kW draw and the 3 N-PE AC connection with 3 x 16 A fuse protection are as important as the litre figure. The published connection data give the electrical designer fixed numbers to work with when allocating breakers and balancing galley loads across a 3-phase distribution. IPX6 water protection aligns with the way shipboard galleys are cleaned, where spray guns and hoses are typical and equipment has to tolerate jet cleaning without additional shielding.

The single work zone layout makes sense where one type of product, or a tight group of products, needs its own oil bath. The relationship between the 12.5 litre capacity and the 10 kW load keeps the fryer in a band where recovery and turnover suit a defined station rather than a bulk production line. Net weight is 42 kg with a gross weight of 49 kg, figures that matter when planning how to bring the unit aboard, move it through doors and stairs, or allow for lifting and fixing on an Optima 700 body line.

Fully welded seams reduce the number of joints where oil, crumbs and water can collect, which simplifies both daily cleaning and inspection. The IPX6 rating, combined with the stated IP-rated water protection, means the housing is built to withstand cleaning with water jets, so designers can plan the cleaning regime around hose-down rather than purely manual wiping. A hinged lid gives a defined closed position during idle periods and when not in use, which helps to limit the exposure of the oil surface and contain splashes during heat-up.

This fryer is well matched to an Optima 700 installation where one frying point is assigned to a specific task and deck area is tightly planned. It is the wrong choice for a galley that needs several independent frying temperatures at once or expects very high peak throughput, because the single 12.5 litre work zone and 10 kW load are tuned to a focused station rather than to multiple parallel products.
