MKN Deep Fat Fryer 7EFRI030DFLFS – Electric

Thirty litres of frying capacity in a single work zone defines the MKN 7EFRI030DFLFS. That size suits a galley that wants a dedicated fryer well for a specific product line without stepping up into the footprint and handling implications of larger oil volumes.

On board, the 30 litres stated in the data sheet is a planning number for both operations and safety. Oil changes, disposal logistics and cooling times all scale directly with that volume. A 30-litre fryer can be assigned to one product family to reduce flavour transfer and cross-contact, while still delivering meaningful batch sizes in a compact module that does not dominate a cooking block.

The unit is configured with 1 work zone, so the full 30 litres are heated and controlled as one bath. That arrangement fits service patterns built around basket loads dropped and lifted together, as opposed to continuous partial loading. It also simplifies training: there is one temperature regime to set and monitor for the entire well, not separate settings for multiple zones. Where strict allergen separation is required, the single-zone, single-product approach helps keep procedures clear.

At 53 kg net weight and 65 kg gross, the fryer has enough mass to sit solidly on a deck mounting or plinth, but those figures also matter upstream. Naval architects and outfitters use them to check point loads on raised floors, bases and coamings, and logistics teams use the 65 kg gross value to plan how the crate is brought on board and moved into position without overstressing lifts or gangways.

The published IPX6 protection rating means the housing has been built to resist water jets, which aligns with marine galley cleaning practice where spray lances are used rather than light wiping. Being able to wash around and over the fryer with water jets without compromising the enclosure reduces cleaning time and supports compliance with hygiene inspections that pay particular attention to grease accumulation around high-temperature equipment.

Electrical protection is specified as 3×16 A. This tells the yard and electrical contractor that the fryer is intended for a three-phase circuit protected at 16 A per phase. That value goes straight onto the load list and into the switchboard calculation, and it helps prevent nuisance trips from under-sized breakers as well as overspecification of cabling and protection where it is not needed.

Build and control

• 1 work zone for unified batch frying
• 30 litres well capacity for defined oil volume management
• IPX6 protection rating for cleaning with water jets
• Net weight 53 kg, gross weight 65 kg for structural and logistics planning
• Electrical protection specified as 3×16 A

This fryer is the right choice where a galley needs one clearly defined 30-litre well on a three-phase, 3×16 A circuit, with cleaning carried out by water jets in a confined space. It is the wrong choice where separate temperature regimes in more than 1 work zone are required on the same footprint, or where the galley concept is built around a much smaller or much larger oil volume per unit.
