MKN Deep Fat Fryer 8EFRI012DM – Electric

12.5 litres of oil in a single work zone defines the MKN 8EFRI012DM deep fat fryer as a compact primary frying station rather than a small side fryer. With 10 kW MaxPower connected on a 380–415 V supply, it can bring that oil mass up to working temperature and recover heat between loads without oversizing the electrical feed.

On board, both the 380–415 V electrical supply and the IPX6 rating matter as much as the cooking capacity. The voltage range aligns with common three‑phase marine distributions, so the fryer can be fed directly from the ship’s system without step‑down transformers. IPX6 protection allows the galley cleaning team to use pressure spray methods without exposing internal components to water damage, provided the unit is installed and operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For a superintendent balancing galley performance against HVAC and electrical load, a 10 kW fryer in this size class is a predictable, plannable consumer.

The unit is designed around a single work zone, so all 12.5 litres are dedicated to one product stream at a time. That simplicity suits ships running clear separation between different fried items by time or by station, rather than trying to split one tank between incompatible products. Net weight is 47 kg, with a gross shipping weight of 55 kg, which gives an idea of the structural mass that needs to be supported or welded into a plinth when the galley line is installed. Fuse protection is specified at 3×16 A, giving the electrical designer a clear breaker size and helping to coordinate selectivity on a crowded distribution board.

The IPX6 water protection level goes beyond light splash resistance, and fits the way professional shipboard galleys are cleaned: hoses, spray guns and frequent hot‑water wash‑downs. Radiused internal corners support the same cleaning regime on the food side of the tank, helping crew remove residues quickly and reducing the likelihood of soil accumulation at sharp junctions. In a confined galley where staff turnover can be high, that kind of detail directly influences how closely procedures can be followed in day‑to‑day operation.

Build and control

• Radiused internal corners for hygienic cleaning
• IPX6 water protection rating
• Single work zone configuration
• 12.5‑litre oil capacity
• MaxPower 10 kW connected load
• Electrical supply 380–415 V, three‑phase
• Fuse protection 3×16 A

This fryer is the right choice where a line needs one 12.5‑litre tank with solid heat input on a 380–415 V three‑phase system and where hose‑down cleaning is standard practice. It is the wrong choice for a vessel that requires multiple independently controlled frying zones in the same footprint, or where the available electrical feed cannot support a 10 kW, 3×16 A appliance.
