MKN FlexiChef Team Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP22XX-1XX – FlexiChef, 75 + 50 litres

Two separately powered pans at 75 + 50 litres and 22,4 + 14,7 kW set the scale of the FlexiChef Team FCEKMP22XX-1XX. The pans sit side by side in a 2400 x 850 x 750 mm carcass, so this is specified as a full-length cooking block rather than as a single kettle replacement.

In a shipboard galley, that 2400 x 850 mm footprint runs the length of a section of the line, and it occupies a defined share of the traffic and extraction envelope. Fixing both pans into one 610 kg frame simplifies the foundations and penetrations through the deck, but forces the planner to reserve that length in one piece and to bring the 400 V supply and services to that position. At 750 mm body height the top sits within normal ergonomic reach, useful where deck-to-deckhead height is constrained and canopies, lights and cable trays are competing for space above.

The two pans are intentionally different. The larger side has a 723 x 543 x 225 mm working surface and a 75 litre capacity, suited to the higher-volume components of the menu or to batches that justify the 22,4 kW connected load. The second pan at 523 x 543 x 225 mm and 50 litres provides a smaller work zone with its own 14,7 kW rating, so lower-volume items or dishes needing different times and temperatures can be cooked without tying up the full 75 litre body. Both pans share the same 225 mm depth, so baskets, inserts and utensils transfer between them without changing immersion or handling.

From the switchboard perspective, total installed power is 22,4 + 14,7 kW at 400 V, but the split rating means the electrical engineer can see the draw when only one side is used during off-peak preparation. The 610 kg net weight identifies this as a structural piece of equipment: the underlying deck structure, especially over insulation or on a platform, has to be confirmed for that point load and for the way the carcass is fixed in place. The 850 mm width lets it sit in a standard modular line without pushing the whole suite further into the working aisle.

Build and control

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

Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on the wetted parts targets long service where the pans see repeated contact with stocks, sauces and cleaning chemicals. Fully welded seams and the integrated drain valve reduce crevices and simplify emptying and cleaning routines, important where inspection regimes look for standing liquid and inaccessible soil traps. The hinged lid removes any need to park separate covers on a moving ship and defines the open position mechanically, which helps keep sightlines and headroom predictable along a crowded line.

This configuration is the right choice where a galley genuinely needs two independent pans at 75 and 50 litres in one 2400 mm module and can support a 610 kg appliance with a 22,4 + 14,7 kW, 400 V supply. It is the wrong choice where there is only space for a shorter body, or where the requirement is for a single larger pan rather than two split capacities, because the fixed two-zone layout then ties up footprint and electrical load that a simpler unit could use more effectively.
