MKN Electric Griddle Plate 7EGRP080XM

Article number 7EGRP080XM identifies this MKN electric griddle plate as a specific catalogue module rather than a generic countertop grill. In a modular galley layout that has to be engineered around defined appliance codes, that number is what the yard, designer and purchasing office work from.

On board, the attraction of an electric griddle plate is predictable heat and straightforward integration into the ship’s electrical concept. A dedicated electric module like the 7EGRP080XM can be planned directly into the main switchboard load schedule and galley ventilation calculation, and it avoids any dependence on separate fuel logistics. Because it is specified with IP-rated water protection, it is better aligned to wash-down cleaning routines where surfaces are hosed or sprayed rather than wiped.

In the equipment list this unit sits as an MKN electric griddle plate for professional kitchens, and in a ship’s galley it will typically be combined with other MKN modules in a line that follows the menu and the available deck length. The article number 7EGRP080XM defines the body style and connection position for the planner, even where the drawing package is still in development. For a superintendent checking an existing installation, that same number ties the physical plate on board back to the manufacturer’s documentation.

IP-rated water protection is the single published construction detail that stands out on this model and it matters in a marine context. In a galley where equipment is exposed to splashing water, steam and frequent cleaning, an appliance that has been designed and tested to resist water ingress at a defined level is easier to keep in service over time. It also simplifies conversations with classification societies and yard engineers when they ask how the cooking line will respond to the ship’s hygiene and sanitation regime, because there is a stated protection concept rather than an assumption.

Build and control

• IP-rated water protection

From a selection point of view, the 7EGRP080XM is a sensible choice where the requirement is specifically for an MKN electric griddle plate and IP-rated water protection is a project criterion, for example in an open cooking line close to dishwashing or other wet processes. It is the wrong choice where the brief calls for a different cooking method, such as boiling or deep-frying, or where the galley concept excludes an electric griddle plate altogether; in those cases the selector should stay within the same manufacturer’s range but pick a different article number that fits the process.

For specification, procurement and spares, this unit is ordered under MKN product number 7EGRP080XM.
