MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI012DMFS – Electric

10 kW on a single tank gives the MKN 7EFRI012DMFS fryer a focused duty profile: one 12.5 litre work zone driven hard from a compact footprint. That combination suits a galley that needs consistent deep-frying in one station rather than a bank of multi-well units.

On board, the declared 380–415 V MaxPower electrical supply aligns with the three-phase systems common to main galley switchboards. With a fuse protection requirement of 3×16 A, this fryer can usually be integrated into existing distribution panels without moving into the very high current ranges associated with larger multi-tank appliances. For a naval architect or yard electrician, that simplifies cable sizing and breaker selection when several cooking appliances have to share the same section of board.

The single work zone is specified as 1, with a capacity of 12.5 litres. That capacity defines the output per batch and how many portions can realistically be passed in one drop, which matters where service peaks are short and intense. A galley designer will typically pair this volume with a matching extraction and make-up air calculation, because the heat released into the hood and room has to be managed in parallel with the electrical load.

Electrical power is stated as 10 kW at the 380–415 V MaxPower connection. That figure is the basis for both cable and protective device sizing and for the vessel’s overall energy balance; on a ship where several high-load appliances start simultaneously after a quiet period, knowing that this unit draws 10 kW at full fire helps avoid nuisance trips and informs load-shedding strategies. Fuse protection at 3×16 A confirms that the fryer is engineered to operate within a moderate current band for a three-phase appliance in this class.

Build and control

• Hinged lid
• Fully welded seams
• IP-rated water protection

The hinged lid is part of the day-to-day operation: it controls splashing during loading and can help with temperature stability during recovery between batches. Fully welded seams support marine hygiene practice, where high-frequency cleaning and inspection demand joints that do not harbour soil and can withstand regular wash-down. The IP-rated water protection is relevant in a galley that is cleaned with hoses rather than cloths; it gives the yard and operator a defined level of ingress resistance to work with when designing the cleaning regime around the fryer.

This model is a good fit where one 12.5 litre well is enough to carry the fried component of the menu, such as a dedicated snack station or a single line in a crew galley. It is the wrong choice where production requires multiple oil types or simultaneous high-volume output, because the single 1-zone configuration does not offer separation or redundancy.
