MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI025DFLFS – Electric

Two work zones and a 2×12.5 litres oil capacity define the MKN 7EFRI025DFLFS as a split-vat fryer for parallel production. At 70 kg net weight and 77 kg gross, it sits in a band that is straightforward to bring aboard and position, but still needs to be treated as a fixed installation once it is on the galley deck.

On a ship this 2-zone layout is often the first design decision, not an afterthought. Two separate work zones allow one side to be dedicated to a specific product stream while the other handles general service, which is frequently the only practical way to separate loads within the footprint available. The 2×12.5 litres capacity gives each zone enough oil volume for repeated loading during a service without forcing the vessel to commit to the larger oil stocks and waste volumes that come with significantly bigger fryers.

The IPX6 protection rating matters directly for cleaning in a marine galley. End-of-shift routines rely on hose-down and spray rather than wiping, and IPX6 states that the enclosure is built to withstand water jets from any direction. That lets the fryer stay in place while the deck and surrounding equipment are washed, instead of being wrapped or avoided to keep electrics dry.

Electrical protection is specified as 3×20 A fuse protection. For a designer working to a tight switchboard and distribution layout, that figure defines the outgoing fuse size and makes it possible to group the fryer correctly with other cooking appliances. It also provides a clear value for refit projects where existing circuits must be checked against new loads rather than replaced outright.

Weight data on this unit are explicit: 70 kg net and 77 kg gross. The 7 kg gap between net and gross is a handling number for bringing the packaged fryer through narrow accesses and staging it before installation. Once in place, the 70 kg appliance weight still calls for proper marine anchoring, whether that is flanged feet or a welded plinth detailed at yard level, so that the centre of mass stays under control when the vessel moves.

Build and control

• 2 work zones for separated frying loads
• 2×12.5 litres oil capacity
• IPX6 ingress protection rating
• 3×20 A fuse protection
• 70 kg net appliance weight
• 77 kg gross weight for transport planning

This model suits a galley that needs two independently usable frying positions within one body, for example where menu structure or allergen control demands physical separation. It is the wrong choice where the brief is a single, very high-output frying line built around one product type, because in that case a larger single-zone fryer will concentrate capacity and simplify operation.
