MKN FlexiChef Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP32XX_75L – FlexiChef

Seventy-five litres of pan volume in a 1300 x 850 mm body is the defining characteristic of the FCEKMP32XX_75L. It is the FlexiChef size that offers a 723 x 543 mm working surface while still fitting into a single 850 mm-wide cooking line.

On a shipboard galley plan, those dimensions are the starting point for deciding where this unit sits. The 1300 mm length determines how it pairs with surrounding modular cooking blocks, and the 850 mm width ties in with standard deep lines such as an Optima 850 run. With a net weight of 320 kg and an electrical load of 22.4 kW at 400 V, the structural support, cable routing and breaker capacity all need to be treated as part of the initial layout rather than late additions.

The 75 litre capacity is matched to the 723 x 543 x 225 mm pan geometry. That depth gives enough headroom for boiling, shallow frying or other volume cooking without pushing the rim too high for manual handling. In practice this lets a single operator manage batch cooking and turning in one work zone while still reaching across the pan comfortably. One work zone also simplifies the control scheme where the galley team does not need separate temperature profiles in the same pan.

Installed electrical power is 22.4 kW on a 400 V supply, so heat-up times and recovery between batches are driven by a substantial energy input. For a marine application this means the main switchboard and any energy management system must be configured with this peak draw in mind so that multiple high-load appliances do not all start together. The 750 mm overall height sets the working level and needs to be checked against any raised deck or plinth arrangement the yard intends to use.

Build and control

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

The hinged lid is particularly relevant where deckhead heights are tight and steam needs to be controlled over the pan; it opens without needing to be removed and stored separately, which avoids loose parts on a moving ship. Fully welded seams and a defined drain valve simplify daily cleaning and draining, which is significant when the unit is plumbed into a galley that must avoid standing water on the deck. The use of stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) for all wetted parts gives a clear indication of how the unit is intended to cope with hot, often salted liquids and aggressive detergents over a long service life.

This FlexiChef configuration is a strong candidate where a galley needs one main multifunctional pan in the 75 litre range and can commit 22.4 kW at 400 V on a single position. It is a less suitable choice where the requirement is for multiple independently controlled zones in one body or where the available electrical capacity per appliance is significantly lower than 22.4 kW.
