MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI030DF – Electric

A 30 litre fryer with a single work zone and a 10 kW connected load is a clear brief for focused, medium-duty frying. The MKN 7EFRI030DF delivers that in an Optima 700 body, giving one dedicated zone rather than sharing power across multiple tanks.

On board, the specified 380–415 V three-phase supply with 3 N-PE AC connection fits straight into a typical galley distribution panel designed around three-phase cooking loads. Fuse protection at 3 x 16 A keeps the breaker size modest, which helps where the switchboard is already dense and spare ways are limited. Planning around those values early lets the electrical designer coordinate cable sizing, protection devices and load distribution without guesswork.

The 30 litre capacity defines oil handling as much as it does cooking output. For the galley team it means enough thermal mass to stabilise temperature when batches of frozen or dense products go in, while still keeping the oil change quantity within a manageable volume for storage and waste handling. With one work zone, all of the 10 kW is available to that single tank, so there is no need to balance different products against split power or shared recovery. In menu terms this suits a defined fryer station dedicated to one oil type or one main product group.

Net weight is listed at 53 kg and gross weight at 65 kg. The difference matters for the yard and the integrator: 65 kg is what moves through the logistics chain in a crate, while 53 kg is what the installation crew has to position in the galley once unpacked. In tight spaces without overhead lifting, knowing both weights in advance allows the right choice of handling gear and avoids late surprises during fit-out.

The IPX6 protection rating is a key figure for a marine galley where cleaning is done with spray hoses. IPX6 confirms resistance to water jets, so the fryer can be washed down in line with the surrounding equipment when the installation detailing of the electrical feed and any deck interfaces is done correctly. Fully welded seams support that cleaning regime by removing open joints that can trap soil and standing water, and they simplify visual inspection during hygiene audits. The hinged lid in turn helps control splashing during service and gives a defined closed position for off-watch periods and cleaning cycles.

This model fits a galley that needs a single Optima 700 fryer position with a fixed 30 litre oil load and a 10 kW demand on a 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC supply protected at 3 x 16 A. It is the wrong choice where the menu relies on running several oil types in parallel, or where peak output calls for more than one frying zone; those applications should look to larger or multi-well fryers in the same line without assuming they can be covered by a single 30 litre tank.
