MKN FlexiChef Team Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP21XX-3XX – FlexiChef, 50 + 100 litres

Two work zones in one carcass, 50 and 100 litres, set the FCEKMP21XX-3XX FlexiChef Team apart from single-pan units in the same family. The smaller side handles low-volume or separate items while the larger 100 litre pan covers main production, all within a single appliance envelope.

The overall dimensions are 2700 x 850 x 750 mm, so this is a line unit that runs along a bulkhead or suite rather than a compact island. That length needs to be checked carefully against service risers, door positions and deckhead clearances at design stage, but it also means one continuous stainless surface instead of breaks that collect soil. Net weight is 675 kg, which makes the fixing method and substructure a structural item for the naval architect, not something left to the installation crew.

On the left, the working surface is 523 x 543 x 225 mm with a 50 litre capacity and an electrical power rating of 14,7. On the right, the larger 1023 x 543 x 225 mm pan carries 100 litres and 34 kW. Both pans share the same 225 mm depth, so utensils, baskets and operating procedures can be standardised across the two zones. Two independent work zones in one frame give the galley the choice between running a single large batch or splitting service into different products or temperature regimes without moving pans across the deck.

The appliance is specified for 400 V supply, which needs to be aligned with the ship’s distribution system during specification so no step-up or step-down equipment is required later. At 850 mm width the body fits into a typical modular cooking line without awkward transitions, and the 750 mm height should be coordinated against adjacent blocks from other makers to keep the working edge consistent for the crew.

Wetted parts in stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) are specified for both pans. That material choice is primarily about long-term behaviour where salted products, stock bases and alkaline cleaners are used daily; it is also the surface the crew sees and cleans, so avoiding mixed materials in the well simplifies inspection and maintenance.

Build and control

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

The hinged lid covers both zones and lets the operator control evaporation and heat loss without handling loose covers, which matters on a moving deck. Fully welded seams remove sealant joints and mechanical overlaps around the pan edges that are hard to clean and prone to harbouring soil. A drain valve gives a defined outlet for liquids at each cycle, so stocks and sauces can be run off without lifting and tipping a hot, heavy pan. With all wetted parts in 1.4404 (AISI 316L), the contact surfaces remain consistent even as gaskets and accessories are replaced over time.

This configuration is the right choice where the menu regularly needs both small-batch work and full-pan production in the same service, or where two different products must be cooked in parallel but floor space does not allow two separate bodies. It is the wrong choice for a galley that only ever runs one standard batch size, because the second pan and its 2700 mm length add cost and deck commitment without giving extra utilised capacity.
