MKN Deep Fat Fryer 8EFRI030DFLFS – Electric

30 litres of oil capacity and a 10 kW FlexPower heating package set the MKN 8EFRI030DFLFS up as a production fryer rather than a snack unit. That volume in one tank suits a galley that has to run larger batches and hold a stable frying reserve through service.

The electrical specification on this fryer is aligned with mixed marine and shore use: 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz with a 3×16 A fuse protection requirement. On a vessel where the main distribution is engineered around that band, the fryer can be integrated into existing panels without calling for an oversized breaker or a special feed. The IPX6 protection rating speaks directly to shipboard cleaning practice, where equipment is often exposed to pressure spray cleaning rather than just wipe-down; the housing is built to tolerate those water jets without water ingress into the electrics.

At 10 kW, the FlexPower system gives the tank the headroom needed to get 30 litres of oil back to working temperature between baskets. The power level belongs in the load list for the galley distribution board and HVAC calculation, because a fryer of this size will be run hard in peak periods. Electrical supply is specified as 380–415 V on three-phase with neutral and protective earth, so the installer has a clear target for cabling and overcurrent protection, and the 3×16 A fuse protection figure frames the expected inrush and operating currents.

The tank and body are built in chrome-nickel steel 1.4301 / AISI 304. In practice that gives a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that will tolerate typical alkaline galley cleaners and repeated hot-oil cycles, while remaining easy to wipe down at the end of a watch. For a fryer that sits in a line, the material choice is also part of the hygiene story: welds and surfaces match other 1.4301 / AISI 304 galley components, and the IPX6 rating means the external surfaces can be cleaned with confidence using the same methods as adjacent equipment.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection
• IPX6 ingress protection for cleaning with water jets
• Chrome-nickel steel 1.4301 / AISI 304 construction

This model fits a galley that needs a dedicated fryer with 30 litres of capacity and can support a 10 kW, 380–415 V three-phase connection on a 3×16 A protected circuit. It is not the right choice where only single-phase power is available or where the menu only calls for occasional, low-volume frying — in those cases a smaller, lower-load unit will be easier to accommodate in the electrical plan.
