MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1321131 – Smooth, Ribbed, HotLine

10.8 kW on a 400 V supply drives the MKN 1321131 HotLine electric griddle plate. Across that power input the whole 705 x 545 mm working surface runs as a single zone, with smooth and ribbed sections under one thermostatic control.

At 800 x 700 x 700 mm overall, the body drops directly into a 700 mm-deep HotLine run without pushing the line further out into the galley. That matters on a vessel where the cooking block competes with passageways and structural members for deck space. The 705 mm length of the plate gives continuous width for holding several pans or a row of portions in one pass, which suits linear production.

The electrical figures are as important to the ship as the cooking surface. A 10.8 kW appliance on 400 V has to be allocated in the switchboard design and any power-management logic, particularly where several HotLine units share the same section board. This model is prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system, so the load can be shed or prioritised from a central controller instead of relying on manual discipline at service.

Net weight is 102 kg, with 113 kg gross quoted for transport. Those values let the yard plan how the unit is moved on board, and how any foundations, flanged feet or plinth structures are detailed to support the mass. Once set, the self-supporting closed construction gives a solid, enclosed body that does not rely on adjacent cabinets for stiffness, which simplifies lining it up in a mixed manufacturer run.

With one work zone across the whole 705 x 545 mm surface, the operator works to a single temperature setpoint. The thermostatic temperature control holds that setting, so once the plate is stabilised there is no need to chase temperature along the length. Ergonomic knob control keeps adjustment tactile and predictable, which is useful on a moving platform where touch panels are harder to operate with wet or gloved hands.

Build and control

• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Thermostatic temperature control

This configuration fits a main cooking line where one temperature band covers the menu, the full 705 x 545 mm surface is consistently used, and the electrical reserve can support a 10.8 kW draw at 400 V. It is the wrong choice for a galley that needs several independently controlled temperature zones within the same footprint, or where the power-management study shows that a 10.8 kW plate will exceed the available margin on the relevant distribution board.
