MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI012DML – Electric

A single work zone with 12.5 litres of oil capacity defines the MKN 7EFRI012DML deep fat fryer. With 10 kW of electric power on a compact Optima 700 module, it is aimed at focused frying output rather than bulk production.

On a vessel, the electrical data matter as much as the basket size. This fryer is specified for a 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC supply with a 3 x 16 A fuse set, so it aligns with standard three-phase shipboard distributions rather than a light-duty single-phase branch. At 10 kW, it is a significant but manageable load for a main galley line-up; the figure needs to sit clearly in the load schedule and the switchboard reserve. IPX6 water protection means the body is built to withstand cleaning with water jets, which matches the wash-down routines in marine galleys without demanding special shielding.

The 12.5 litre tank capacity is sized for a single work zone, which simplifies production planning: one product, one temperature, no cross-flavouring. In an Optima 700 configuration this allows a line designer to place a dedicated fryer module in a narrow run where a larger twin-tank body would not fit. Net weight is 42 kg, with a quoted gross weight of 49 kg, so handling at delivery and installation is straightforward, yet the unit still has enough mass to sit solidly once it is fixed to its support. The electrical connection format, 3 N-PE AC at 380–415 V, ensures the heater load is shared across phases without overloading a single leg.

IPX6 as the published protection rating is a practical figure for marine service. It confirms that the fryer housing and interfaces have been designed so routine hose-down does not compromise the electrics, which reduces the tension between hygiene and equipment care. The unit’s position in the Optima 700 series means it can be planned into a modular cooking suite with other 700 mm-deep bodies, keeping a consistent work edge and service corridor.

Build and control

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

This fryer is the right choice where the requirement is a single, clearly defined frying station delivering consistent output from a 12.5 litre tank on a 10 kW, 380–415 V three-phase supply. It is not the right fit for a galley that needs multiple oil types or concurrent high-volume frying streams, where larger or multi-zone fryers in the same family should be considered.
