MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI012XM – Electric

12.5 litres of oil in a single work zone and 10 kW of connected load set the MKN 7EFRI012XM up for focused frying duty on a compact footprint. With one tank rather than a twin configuration, it suits a line where one product stream needs consistent capacity rather than menu flexibility.

The electrical supply of 380–415 V aligns with common three-phase shipboard distributions, so this fryer can be planned directly onto a galley switchboard without step-up or step-down transformers. Fuse protection at 3 x 16 A gives the electrician a clear figure for breaker sizing and cable selection, which matters when several 10 kW appliances share a limited panel. At 42 kg net weight, rising to 49 kg gross for transport, the unit is manageable for bringing aboard and positioning on a welded plinth or flanged feet arrangement specified by the yard.

In day-to-day use, the 12.5-litre capacity is a deliberate middle ground. It holds enough oil to cover a standard marine service for one main fried item, but does not carry the thermal mass and oil volume of the larger high-output fryers intended for buffet-heavy traffic. One work zone simplifies operation and HACCP recording, as there is only one oil life to track and one set of procedures to enforce. Where separate allergen or taste separation is essential, this fryer would normally be paired with a second dedicated unit.

The 10 kW power rating gives the pan enough input to recover temperature between batches without pushing the electrical installation into high-amperage territory. On a refit or a smaller vessel where spare capacity on the 380–415 V board is tight, that balance between heat-up performance and 3 x 16 A protection is often the constraint that decides the model.

Build and control

• Hinged lid
• Fully welded seams
• IPX6 water protection rating

The IPX6 rating is significant in a ship galley, where pressure spray guns are standard for end-of-shift cleaning. A fryer that is designed to withstand high-pressure water jets externally reduces the risk associated with routine washdown, provided the operating instructions on shut-down and cooling are followed. Fully welded seams support rapid cleaning around the fryer, with fewer crevices where soil can accumulate, which aligns with the hygiene expectations applied under marine inspection regimes.

This model is the right choice where a single 12.5-litre tank matches the production plan and where a 10 kW, 380–415 V connection fits comfortably within the available electrical capacity. It is not the best fit for a main production galley that needs large volumes of fries and breaded products across multiple service points; in that case, larger bodies or multi-tank configurations in the same family should be considered.
