MKN FlexiChef Team Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP21XX-2XX – FlexiChef, 50 + 75 litres

Two independently driven work zones at 50 and 75 litres give the FlexiChef Team FCEKMP21XX-2XX a footprint that replaces separate boiling, frying and braising stations in a single 2400 mm body. One side can be loaded to 50 litres while the 75 litre pan next to it runs a different process, which matters on board where service windows are tight and deck length is fixed.

At 2400 x 850 x 750 mm this unit occupies a defined strip of galley real estate, so it fits the linear Optima-style cooking lines without overhanging the work corridor. A net weight of 610 kg means it is a structural item from the naval architect’s point of view rather than loose equipment, and foundations, coamings and fixing points need to be planned rather than improvised. The 400 V electrical supply aligns with typical shipboard distribution, avoiding the step-up or step-down arrangements that complicate class approval and spares.

Technically the Team configuration in this model is a Size 1 and Size 2 pan combination. The first work zone has a working surface of 523 x 543 x 225 mm with a 50 litre capacity and electrical power of 14,7 kW. That side suits smaller batches, short runs and a-la-carte work where frequent changeover is expected. The second zone extends the working surface to 723 x 543 x 225 mm with 75 litres capacity and 22,4 kW of electrical power, so it can hold the main production or higher searing loads while the smaller pan handles garnishes or sauces.

Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on all wetted parts is a material choice aimed at chloride exposure in a marine galley. Where pans are filled, emptied and washed continuously with water that often carries salt and detergent residues, the molybdenum-bearing 316 grade resists pitting and crevice attack better than standard austenitic sheet. Fully welded seams in the pan and carcass reduce the number of joints where soils and moisture can accumulate, and make it easier for the equipment to be installed into a welded suite or onto a sealed plinth without hygiene weak points.

Build and control

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

The hinged lid on each pan keeps steam and heat in the process and out of the room, and the drain valve allows controlled emptying into suitable vessels or floor drains instead of manual lifting or ladling. For a main galley that needs two genuinely independent cooking surfaces with different capacities across the same service, this configuration can remove the need for a separate kettle and bratt pan in the layout. It is less suitable where the requirement is for a single very large batch volume or for more than two parallel processes, in which case other FlexiChef or kettle combinations should be examined.
