MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI012DMLFS – Electric

Twelve point five litres of oil in a single work zone defines the 7EFRI012DMLFS as a compact, dedicated fryer rather than a bulk-production unit. At 42 kg net weight it is light enough to sit comfortably in a modular line, but still substantial enough to stay planted once it is bolted down.

On board, a fryer of this size makes sense where fried items are a fixed but not dominant part of the menu. One work zone simplifies operation for a small crew and avoids the temptation to mix incompatible products in one bath. The IPX6 protection rating is significant in a ship’s galley, where pressure spray guns are standard cleaning tools and equipment has to tolerate direct water jets without water ingress into live components.

The 12.5 litre capacity gives a clear indication of batch size and oil volume that has to be managed, filtered and stored. In a confined galley this affects everything from hood loading to the number of jerrycans held in the waste oil store. A single-well configuration with one work zone also simplifies HACCP documentation: only one bath temperature and one oil change interval to track compared with twin-well units. With gross weight quoted at 49 kg, handling for installation and any later repositioning can be planned without guesswork.

Electrical integration is straightforward. Fuse protection is specified as 3 x 16 A, so the fryer can be allocated to an appropriate three-phase circuit on the galley distribution board without oversizing breakers. That figure also frames how many such appliances can be run on a given section of the galley busbar before the connected load becomes an issue for the ship’s electrical engineer. The combination of three-phase supply and modest fuse size is typical of compact electric fryers in a marine context.

Build and control

• IPX6 IP-rated water protection for pressure-spray cleaning
• One work zone for straightforward operation and loading discipline
• 12.5 litre oil capacity in a single well
• Net weight 42 kg, gross weight 49 kg for manageable installation
• Fuse protection 3 x 16 A for three-phase supply coordination

This fryer is the right choice for vessels needing a single dedicated frying position in a limited footprint, such as crew galleys or smaller passenger ships where fried output is steady but moderate. It is the wrong choice where service routinely demands parallel frying of different products or very high peak volumes; in those cases, larger bodies or multi-well units from the same family should be considered instead.
