MKN Deep Fat Fryer 8EFRI025DFL – Electric

Two work zones and 2×12.5 litres of oil capacity define the MKN 8EFRI025DFL as a fryer for genuine parallel production. With 12 kW of FlexPower available across the tank, it delivers the heat density needed to recover quickly when baskets are dropped.

On a ship this configuration matters because galley output often has to be split between different products or service points without duplicating hardware. Two independent 12.5 litre vats allow one side to run a high-crumb load while keeping the other cleaner for delicate items, which helps extend oil life and keeps flavours separate. The twin-tank format also provides some resilience: if one zone is out of use for cleaning or a filter change, the remaining 12.5 litres stay available.

The electrical supply is specified at 380–415 V with fuse protection of 3×20 A. That sits in the standard marine low-voltage band, so the fryer can usually be fed from the existing galley distribution without a dedicated transformer. Knowing the 3×20 A requirement at design stage allows the panelboard, cabling and protection to be sized correctly and avoids late changes when the equipment list is frozen.

Net weight is 75 kg, with a gross shipping weight of 82 kg. For the naval architect that difference is a practical figure: the 75 kg operating mass informs deck loading and foundation design, while the 82 kg crated value belongs in the logistics plan for delivery and installation. In a confined galley, planning moves around a 75 kg appliance prevents last‑minute surprises when the unit has to be brought through narrow doors or companionways.

The fryer carries an IPX6 protection rating. In a marine galley that means it withstands cleaning with pressure spray guns directed from any angle, which is standard practice under shipboard hygiene regimes. Radiused internal corners in the well support that by reducing soil traps; cleaning time comes down and routine wash‑down is more thorough, both important where inspections and audits are regular.

This model is a good fit where two 12.5 litre vats are enough to cover the fried component of the menu and where the galley design favours a single footprint over two separate fryers. It is not the right choice for a vessel with very high peak fried load that would push each 12.5 litre zone to its limits; in that case larger bodies in the same line should be considered.
