MKN FlexiChef Team Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP21XX-3XX – FlexiChef, 50 + 150 litres

Two pans in one body, with 50 + 150 litres of capacity on a 2700 x 850 mm footprint, set the FlexiChef FCEKMP21XX-3XX apart from single-skillet solutions. The smaller side carries 14,7 kW, the larger 34 kW, so the power is concentrated where the volume sits.

On board, that combination of 2700 x 850 x 750 mm overall dimensions and two separate work zones supports a main galley that has to cover both bulk production and smaller batches without adding extra appliances. The twin working surfaces at 523 x 543 x 225 mm and 1023 x 543 x 315 mm give very different pan depths, which matters when switching between shallow work such as grilling or sautéing on the 50 litre side and deep, liquid-heavy cooking on the 150 litre side. At 675 kg net weight, the chassis is a structural item and the deck foundation, coamings and fixing points need to be allowed for in the yard’s drawings, not improvised at installation.

The rated capacity of 50 + 150 litres defines the production planning. The smaller pan is sized for sauces, side dishes or test batches, while the larger pan with its 1023 mm length and 315 mm depth suits stews, soups and other high-volume items in a ship’s daily menu cycle. With two independent electrical power ratings, 14,7 kW on the compact side and 34 kW on the larger, the galley can run one or both zones depending on service, which gives some flexibility where the ship’s electrical load has to be balanced across galleys, laundry and hotel services. Supply is 400 V, so this Team unit is specified to sit on a three-phase board rather than a light-duty galley sub-distribution.

The 850 mm width is aligned with modular cooking lines, so the FlexiChef Team can be planned in a run of equipment without stepping the fronts or creating cleaning traps between bodies. The 750 mm height keeps the working edge at a level galley staff can reach safely in a seaway when the larger pan is filled close to its 150 litre capacity. With two work zones defined in the data, the operator has true separation of products in one appliance body.

Build and control

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

The hinged lid is central in a marine galley where there is not enough headroom or clearance for removable covers; it stays with the 2700 mm body and removes a loose component from the space. Fully welded seams, together with the use of stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on wetted parts, are relevant where salt-laden air and frequent cleaning would quickly exploit gaps and less corrosion-resistant grades. The drain valve at the front of the appliance allows controlled emptying of 50 or 150 litres without lifting or tipping, which is both a workload and a safety consideration on a moving deck.

This FlexiChef Team is the right choice where a vessel needs genuine two-zone bulk production in a single appliance width and has the electrical capacity to support 14,7 + 34 kW at 400 V. It is not the right unit for a small crew galley that never runs large-volume wet production; in that case a single smaller-capacity skillet may match the space and load better.
