MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI025DFFS – Electric

Two work zones and a total capacity of 2 x 12.5 litres define the MKN 7EFRI025DFFS as a twin-tank fryer for split production. With 12 kW of electrical power shared across these two baths, it is dimensioned for steady batch work rather than very high single-product output.

The electrical supply is specified as 380-415 V FlexPower with fuse protection at 3×20 A. That keeps the connection straightforward on a marine switchboard that is already running other 3-phase galley loads, while leaving scope for the yard to align the appliance with the actual bus voltage. Net weight is 70 kg, with a 77 kg gross shipping weight, so the body has enough mass to sit securely once it is fixed down on a marine plinth or flanged feet in line with shipboard practice.

In day-to-day use, the dual 12.5 litre tanks allow genuine independence between the two work zones: one side can be held at temperature while the other is filtered or stood down, or each can be run with different products. For a passenger vessel this often means one tank reserved for a specific product type, the other left flexible for changing menus. The 12 kW rating has to be read in that context. The installed power is not driven into a single small tank, so each side recovers heat at a measured rate, which makes it predictable to schedule batches through a service without sudden overshoot.

IPX6 water protection is a key figure for a fryer that will stay in place during cleaning. A unit built to IPX6 is designed so that water jets from cleaning hoses do not intrude into protected electrical areas when it is washed down in situ. In a galley where equipment is hard-mounted and cannot be rolled clear of the bulkhead, that rating removes the need for makeshift covers during cleaning and allows the same wash routine to be applied across the cookline.

Build and control

• Hinged lid
• Fully welded seams
• IPX6-rated water protection

The hinged lid gives a simple way to close the tanks between batches, reducing vapour escape into the galley and limiting the risk of foreign objects dropping into the oil. Fully welded seams support the hygiene regime by eliminating open joints around the wells where food residues and cleaning water could collect. Together with the IPX6 rating, these construction details align the fryer with the wash-down and inspection demands that apply in marine galleys rather than just dry-wipe shore kitchens.

This configuration is the right choice where a shipboard galley needs two independent frying positions on a 380-415 V three-phase supply and expects a consistent, moderate volume of fried product across a service. It is the wrong choice where the requirement is to push very high throughput through a single large oil bath, because the 12 kW rating is distributed across two 12.5 litre tanks rather than concentrated into one.
