MKN Electric Griddle Plate 7EGRP060XF

7EGRP060XF is specified by MKN as an electric griddle plate with IP-rated water protection and a hinged lid. Those two elements define where this unit fits into a shipboard galley: a fixed position on a cooking line that is cleaned down wet and needs covered plate capacity between services.

On board, any griddle that cannot tolerate direct contact with wash water quickly becomes a maintenance problem. IP-rated water protection on the 7EGRP060XF means the superintendent can treat it as part of the wet-clean regime around the main line instead of shielding it as if it were a dry-area appliance. That simplifies daily routines for the crew and reduces the risk of faults caused by spray reaching unprotected components.

The hinged lid matters just as much in a confined galley. When cooking, it controls vapour over the plate and gives the ventilation system a more predictable plume instead of an open source of steam and grease. Closed between services, it protects the plate surface from cleaning overspray and incidental damage in a tightly packed run of equipment. On a vessel where loose covers and screens are easily misplaced, a lid permanently attached to the body is a practical advantage.

As an electric unit from MKN, article number 7EGRP060XF can be tied directly into the vessel’s galley distribution without the flue routing and combustion air considerations of open-flame appliances. That suits newbuild and refit projects working to an all-electric galley concept or to stricter fire zoning, where electrically heated plates are expected to carry a significant share of browning and finishing work. It also aligns with operators who prefer to consolidate gas-fired equipment in fewer locations for risk management.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection
• Hinged lid

The combination of IP-rated protection and a hinged lid makes this unit a straightforward choice where the galley is cleaned with hoses and the menu calls for regular griddling in defined peaks. It fits a cooking line that needs a covered plate but does not have room for separate lids or splash guards. It is the wrong choice where the design brief calls for a plate that can be left permanently open under a feature hood for front cooking, or where the main requirement is a very large searing surface across several operators on the same pass.

For planning, the key identifiers are the MKN Manufacturer entry and the article number stated in the technical schedule. Ordered under MKN product number 7EGRP060XF.
