MKN Deep Fat Fryer 8EFRI030DMFS – Electric

30 litres of oil on a single work zone with 20 kW MaxPower sets the 8EFRI030DMFS up for heavy frying on a compact footprint. That capacity in one tank suits a shipboard galley that needs sustained output on a single product line rather than multiple small batches.

The electrical supply of 380-415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz aligns with typical three-phase distribution in many marine newbuilds and refits. Specifying the fryer directly to this supply avoids onboard adaptation and lets the electrical contractor size cabling and protection precisely to the quoted 3×32 A fuse protection. On a vessel where electrical load is always balanced against generator capacity, the 20 kW figure is the one the shipyard will carry into the load analysis.

With one work zone, the fryer is straightforward to staff and schedule: a single pan to heat, skim and filter, one oil change interval to track, and no need to juggle separate temperature regimes. At 30 litres, oil turnover can be kept high enough in a busy service to maintain quality, yet the volume is still manageable from a handling and storage perspective when drums or boxed oil have to come aboard and waste oil has to go ashore. The single large zone also leaves the line designer free to pair this unit with other appliances where the galley concept calls for mixed cooking rather than a bank of smaller fryers.

The 20 kW MaxPower rating gives a clear picture of the heat-up and recovery potential available to the chef and to the engineer modelling energy flows. When baskets are loaded heavily, that power headroom is what keeps oil temperature within the target band rather than sagging into extended recovery, which would lengthen ticket times. From the engineering side, declaring MaxPower at 20 kW allows the design team to coordinate with the ventilation contractor so the hood extract volume is sized to the actual thermal load.

Build and control

• IPX6 IP-rated water protection

IPX6 protection is significant in a marine galley cleaned with spray hoses rather than mops and buckets. The fryer can be integrated into a cleaning regime that uses directed water jets on the cooking line, reducing manual wiping in hard-to-reach areas and giving the hygiene team confidence that the enclosure is specified for that exposure. On a vessel running under inspection regimes, being able to wash down equipment to this standard without compromising electrical integrity directly supports routine sanitation.

This fryer is a good fit where a galley needs a single, high-capacity frying position fed from a 380-415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz supply and can allocate 20 kW and 3×32 A of its electrical budget to one appliance. It is not the right choice for layouts that require independently controlled small fry stations or where the electrical infrastructure cannot comfortably support that load on one breaker group.
