MKN Deep Fat Fryer 8EFRI030DMLFS – Electric

Thirty litres of oil on a single body gives the 8EFRI030DMLFS enough capacity for a main production line without moving into multi-well footprints. Coupled with 20 kW of connected load, that volume is set up for fast recovery where batch size and throughput matter.

The electrical supply is specified as 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz with 3×32 A fuse protection. That suits vessels running a 380–415 V, three-phase distribution and makes this fryer straightforward to integrate into an existing galley switchboard with standard protection devices. Knowing the protection requirement up front lets the yard or refit team allocate breaker space and cable sizing correctly, rather than adapting on site.

An IPX6 protection rating is the detail that anchors this fryer in a shipboard context. IPX6 means it is tested against high-pressure water jets, so it can be cleaned down with the spray systems commonly used in marine galleys rather than relying on manual wiping around a sensitive control area. That simplifes daily cleaning routines and helps equipment meet the construction hygiene expectations that plan reviewers work to.

From a thermal point of view, 20 kW on a 30 litre well is a high specific power. The combination supports quick heat-up from cold and short recovery after loading with frozen or chilled product, reducing waiting time between batches. On a busy service this translates into fewer fryers needed for the same output, freeing deck length for other cooking modules or preparation space.

The fryer body is built in chrome-nickel steel 1.4301 / AISI 304. This stainless grade is standard for commercial kitchen work, offering good corrosion resistance for a galley environment where salt and moisture are present but the equipment is not in direct seawater contact. For a designer, specifying 1.4301 / AISI 304 across worktops and appliances keeps the material palette consistent and simplifies cleaning chemistry.

Build and control

• IPX6 IP-rated water protection for high-pressure jet cleaning
• Chrome-nickel steel 1.4301 / AISI 304 construction

This model is a good match for a galley that needs a single 30 litre electric fryer with strong heat input on a 380–415 V, 3 N-PE AC/50 Hz supply and plans to pressure-wash equipment in place. It is the wrong choice where the power train is different, for example where only lower-voltage single-phase feeds are available, or where smaller, distributed fry points are preferred over one larger well.
