MKN Deep Fat Fryer 8EFRI012DML – Electric

One work zone and a 12.5 litre tank define the 8EFRI012DML as a focused fryer rather than a multi-bay battery. With 10 kW MaxPower on that single tank, it concentrates its electrical load into one production point instead of spreading it across several wells.

In a shipboard galley, that balance between 10 kW of heating and 12.5 litres of oil is a planning figure as much as a performance one. Electrical capacity is finite on a marine switchboard, and a fryer specified at 380–415 V with 3×16 A fuse protection gives the yard, the consultant and the chief engineer a clear slot to reserve in the panel. Knowing that the appliance is IPX6-rated means the cleaning regime can include hose and pressure-spray work without having to segregate the fryer from other IPX6 galley equipment.

The electrical data is straightforward: a 380–415 V supply and 3×16 A fuse protection cover the connection, and 10 kW MaxPower is the design figure for cable sizing and load calculation. Because all of that power is applied to a single work zone, the unit suits applications where one dedicated fryer line carries the traffic, such as a specific side dish, snack station or specialty counter, rather than a broad menu spread over multiple wells. The specification does not need adaptation between 380 V and 415 V systems, which simplifies engineering on fleets with differing builds.

The mechanical data matters at installation and during refit. A net weight of 47 kg describes what will sit on the deck once the crate is removed, while the 55 kg gross weight is what logistics teams have to move through provision doors, lifts and passageways. On vessels where every handling step may involve tight access, those numbers allow lifting gear, manpower and routing to be planned before the unit arrives at the yard.

Radiused internal corners are a hygiene and maintenance item rather than a cosmetic one. Internal transitions without sharp angles or exposed edges reduce soil traps and make daily wash-down with IPX6-level spray quicker and more predictable. That is directly relevant under inspection regimes where cleaning results are checked routinely and where time for manual scrubbing is limited.

Build and control

• Radiused internal corners for hygienic cleaning
• IPX6-rated water protection suitable for pressure-spray cleaning

This fryer is the right choice where a single 12.5 litre tank at 10 kW matches the expected frying volume and the electrical infrastructure already provides a 380–415 V, 3×16 A connection. It is the wrong choice where the menu demands several products to be fried at once on separate temperature regimes, or where very high peak volumes justify multiple work zones so changeovers and waiting time are reduced.
