MKN Electric Griddle Plate 2021141A – Ribbed, Optima 850

A single ribbed plate of 705 x 545 mm driven by 10.8 kW at 400 V defines the MKN 2021141A. Within an Optima 850 line this gives one broad grilling surface rather than several small zones, which suits continuous production on a fixed menu.

At 800 x 850 x 700 mm, the body follows the Optima 850 depth and fits into a standard modular cooking block without fillers or steps. That matters on a ship, where pans and trays are slid from module to module rather than lifted, and where every break in the surface becomes a cleaning and hygiene problem. A deck layout built around 850 mm bodies can drop this unit into an existing run with predictable clearances to bulkheads and deckheads.

Electrical loading is 10.8 kW on a 400 V supply. On a vessel where the galley is one of several heavy consumers sharing a main switchboard, having a clear declared load lets the designer size feeders and protection and plan any energy optimisation strategy. The unit is prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system, so it can be integrated into a shipwide load management scheme rather than operated as a standalone consumer.

The working surface is ribbed across the full 705 x 545 mm, giving a single work zone. For a galley running repeated batches of the same grilled product, that single-zone layout simplifies operation and makes full use of the heated area; there is no split between hotter and cooler sections to manage. Net weight is 102 kg, rising to 115 kg gross for transport, which needs to be taken into account when planning how the unit is brought aboard and positioned on its foundation.

The overall height of 700 mm puts the control knobs in easy reach while keeping the plate low enough to sit comfortably under an extraction hood in an Optima 850 battery. In a marine installation, hood height and duct routes are normally fixed early; a known 700 mm equipment height simplifies that coordination and avoids clashes with fire suppression nozzles and lighting.

Build and control

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

This model is the right choice where the requirement is a single, generous ribbed grilling surface integrated into an Optima 850 cooking line and supplied from a 400 V electrical system. It is less suitable for a galley that needs multiple independently controlled grilling zones in one footprint, or for a project built around gas-fired cooking.
