MKN Deep Fat Fryer 8EFRI012DMFS – Electric

12.5 litres in a single frying tank and 10 kW of MaxPower define the MKN 8EFRI012DMFS. That combination sets this unit up as a focused frying station where one product or temperature band runs continuously rather than a mixed, multi-oil station.

For shipboard installation the electrical data is as important as the tank size. The fryer is specified for a 380–415 V supply and protected at 3×16 A, so it sits comfortably on a typical three-phase marine distribution without demanding a high-capacity dedicated feeder. That current rating gives the yard and the electrical contractor a clear figure for panel loading and cable sizing when this unit is grouped with other galley appliances on the same sub-board.

The IPX6 protection rating matters in a galley that is washed down with hoses. A fryer that is tested against water jets can remain in place during routine cleaning, within the maker’s instructions, instead of being laboriously masked off or avoided. Over a refit or first installation, the quoted net weight of 47 kg and gross shipping weight of 55 kg are practical planning figures: they determine how the unit is handled through gangways and lifts and what lifting aids are needed when positioning it on a plinth or flanged foundation.

Operationally, a single work zone simplifies how the fryer is used across different watches. All 10 kW is applied to one 12.5 litre oil charge, so heat-up and recovery characteristics stay consistent regardless of who is on duty. There is no second tank to cool unused oil or a second circuit to complicate HACCP checks and cleaning schedules. For a vessel standardising on one breaded product, chips or a dedicated allergen-free fryer, that predictability has direct value.

Build and control

• Radiused internal corners for hygienic cleaning
• IP-rated water protection
• IPX6 ingress protection level

The radiused internal corners are a small but relevant design point in a marine galley, where inspection regimes focus heavily on cleaning. Rounded junctions reduce the risk of soil accumulation in the tank and simplify visual inspection during end-of-service cleaning. Combined with IPX6, the construction supports an aggressive but controlled wash-down regime that aligns with common marine hygiene practices rather than requiring a separate manual routine around the fryer.

This unit is the right choice where one 12.5 litre frying position is sufficient and the electrical budget is constrained to 10 kW on a 380–415 V, 3×16 A circuit. It is the wrong choice where the galley needs several independently controlled frying temperatures at the same station or significantly larger batch volumes, because the 8EFRI012DMFS provides only one work zone and a fixed 12.5 litre capacity.
