MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI030DFL – Electric

Thirty litres of frying capacity in a single work zone defines the MKN 7EFRI030DFL within the Optima 700 line. At 10 kW connected load it is sized for continuous service in a compact galley where one dedicated frying position is needed without oversizing the electrical demand.

In a shipboard installation the 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC electrical supply aligns with typical marine low-voltage distribution, so this fryer can be integrated into an existing galley panel without step-up or step-down transformers. Fuse protection at 3 x 16 A keeps the circuit in the range most vessels already allocate to medium-duty cooking appliances. Net weight is 53 kg, rising to 65 kg gross for transport and handling, so the unit is substantial enough to bolt to a plinth or deck pads as part of an Optima 700 suite while still being manageable for installation teams in a finished galley.

The single work zone simplifies loading and temperature management. A 30-litre tank gives enough volume for service peaks on a crew or passenger vessel while limiting the amount of oil that has to be filtered or changed on maintenance days. Because it sits within the Optima 700 series, this fryer is planned as one module in a 700 mm-deep line where pans and pots move laterally across workstations; the one-zone layout suits a line where frying is a distinct task rather than split into multiple oils or temperatures.

IPX6 water protection is a key figure in a marine context. Galleys are routinely cleaned down with spray lances, and a fryer that carries IPX6 can be washed down with water jets without exposing internal components to splashing. That reduces the need for masking or disassembly before cleaning and supports hygiene programmes built around hose-down routines rather than manual wiping. The fully welded seams contribute to that same objective, removing open joints where soil and oil could accumulate and making it easier to comply with inspection requirements once the unit is in service.

Build and control

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

This fryer is the right choice where the requirement is a single, dedicated frying station in an Optima 700 cookline, drawing 10 kW from a 380–415 V three-phase supply and offering IPX6 for pressure-spray cleaning. It is not the right fit where multiple oils or temperature zones are needed in parallel, or where the galley concept calls for a larger bank of fryers with shared filtration and higher installed power.
