MKN Electric Griddle Plate 1321135A – Smooth, HotLine

A 420 x 545 mm smooth plate on a 500 x 700 x 700 mm body defines the footprint and cooking area of the MKN 1321135A HotLine griddle. With a single work zone and 7.2 kW electrical power at 400 V, it is sized as a focused frying station rather than a multi-zone platform.

On a ship this balance of area and load is often the point: 70 kg net weight and a 500 mm module width fit cleanly into a linear HotLine or mixed battery without overcommitting deck space or electrical capacity. The 400 V connection aligns with typical marine low‑voltage distribution, but still needs to be cross-checked against the vessel’s frequency and transformer layout at design stage. At 700 mm height the unit will sit into a standard cookline, so working ergonomics depend on the chosen plinth or leg arrangement in the galley furniture rather than on the appliance itself.

The single-zone layout simplifies loading when service peaks are short and repetitive: one temperature across the 420 x 545 mm working surface means the whole plate can be run for a specific item or menu line. At 7.2 kW, the installed load is high enough to sustain continuous searing across that area without staging batches purely to protect recovery time. For the engineering team, that power figure is also the one that goes into the panel schedule when several 400 V appliances are grouped on the same section of the switchboard.

Construction is specified as stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout, so casing, worktop and structural elements share the same material. That matters in a marine galley where salt-laden air and frequent wash-downs quickly expose mixed-material builds; a consistent 1.4301 structure simplifies both corrosion inspection and cleaning. Net weight at 70 kg, rising to 80 kg gross for transport, gives a realistic indication of how the unit will handle when being brought aboard and positioned – often by pallet truck and manpower rather than heavy lifting gear on refit jobs.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Ergonomic knob control
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Thermostatic temperature control

The control set is deliberately simple. Thermostatic temperature control and ergonomic knob operation suit a watch that turns over between shifts and may not always be staffed by the same cooks; settings can be handed over visually and by feel without menu navigation. Being prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system is relevant on a vessel where several 7.2 kW modules share one line – galley loads can then be sequenced or limited centrally rather than left to manual discipline.

This HotLine griddle is a good choice where a compact, single-zone, smooth frying surface is needed in a 500 mm module, for example as one element in a broader battery. It is less suitable where multiple temperature zones on one plate are required, or where larger batch sizes would justify stepping up to a wider body from the same series.
