MKN FlexiChef Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP12XX_75L – FlexiChef

Seventy-five litres of capacity driven by 22.4 kW is the core of the MKN FlexiChef FCEKMP12XX_75L. Within a 1300 x 850 x 750 mm envelope it delivers that volume as a single, uninterrupted pan rather than spreading production across several smaller bodies.

On a shipboard galley plan, a 1300 mm length and 850 mm width are figures that sit comfortably in a main cooking line without overwhelming the deck. They allow the FlexiChef to take the place of multiple dedicated appliances while still leaving corridor and working space, which is often the tightest constraint on board. The 750 mm height gives a low overall profile that makes sense under constrained deckheads or where sightlines from the cooking block into the servery matter. With a 400 V electrical rating and 22.4 kW connected load, the unit belongs on a planned heavy-duty cooking circuit rather than being added as an afterthought to a lightly loaded board.

The internal working surface is specified as 723 x 543 x 225 mm. That footprint and depth define the real cooking geometry: 723 mm of length for laying out product in rows, 543 mm of width for stirring and turning, and 225 mm depth to hold the stated 75 litres with space above for agitation and ship motion. With one work zone declared, the whole 723 x 543 mm base behaves as a single temperature field, which simplifies operation for batch work where all portions see the same setpoint. Net weight is 320 kg, which is a static load the yard has to account for in deck design and which also influences whether the unit is sited on a plinth or on a reinforced section of the galley deck.

Material choice is defined: all wetted parts are stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L). For a vessel operating in salt-laden air with daily hot cleaning, having the food-contact and wetted surfaces in this grade helps resist the combined effect of chlorides and heat over time. Fully welded seams mean joints are not relying on sealant beads that can peel or harbour soil, which is relevant under hygiene inspection regimes that scrutinise corners and overlaps. The hinged lid keeps condensate and heat within the pan envelope and removes the need to handle a loose cover during service or cleaning. A drain valve gives a defined point for emptying the 75 litres of product or cleaning water without manual lifting.

• Hinged lid
• Fully welded seams
• Drain valve
• Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) wetted parts

This 75-litre, single-zone FlexiChef suits vessels with medium batch sizes that need one principal multifunctional pan to handle the bulk of boiling, braising or similar pan work. It is the wrong choice where production is split continuously across several different items at different temperatures, because the single work zone means the entire 723 x 543 mm surface follows one setting. On ships with significantly higher throughput, the operator should be looking at larger bodies in the same line or multiple pans rather than expecting one 75-litre unit to carry every peak.
