MKN FlexiChef Team Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP22XX-3XX – FlexiChef, 75 + 150 litres

Seventy-five plus one hundred and fifty litres of capacity in a 2900 mm long frame is what sets the MKN FlexiChef Team FCEKMP22XX-3XX apart. With two separate work zones, one side sized for 75 litres and the other for 150 litres, the same appliance can be loaded for small batches or full-volume production without reconfiguring the line.

On board, that 2900 x 850 x 750 mm footprint means a significant length in the cooking block, but the 850 mm width keeps it in the same depth class as other modular bodies. Passage width and access around the machine need to be checked carefully at the GA stage, because at 705 kg net weight this is a fixed structural item once installed. Where the unit sits over penetrations or lighter deck structures, naval architects will want the weight and footprint early so they can size foundations and stiffening.

The work surfaces are quoted as 723 x 543 x 225 mm on the smaller side and 1023 x 543 x 315 mm on the larger. The larger pan gains both surface and depth, so higher liquid loads or taller products can run there while the 75 litre side carries shorter, shallower batches. With work zones listed as 2, the galley can allocate distinct processes to each pan rather than juggling incompatible temperatures in a single cooking surface. This is where the FlexiChef Team format makes sense for ships that run mixed patterns of crew feeding and higher-volume service from one station.

Electrical power is 22,4 kW on the smaller pan and 34,0 kW on the larger, on a 400 V supply. In plant terms that is a substantial connected load on the distribution board; load-shedding logic and diversity assumptions should be based on both pans being energised together, even if day-to-day operation rarely drives them at maximum output. The 850 mm body width and 750 mm height bring the working edge into line with other MKN equipment of the same corpus height, which simplifies bench runs, splashbacks and exhaust hood design.

Build and control

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

The hinged lid keeps the largest moving component attached to the body, reducing loose parts in a seaway and keeping condensate within the footprint of the appliance. Fully welded seams and stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on wetted parts are relevant in marine service because they minimise crevices and exposed junctions in areas subject to hot liquids, steam and salted air. A drain valve on a pan that can hold 75 or 150 litres of product is a practical point for shipboard workflows and drainage design; it allows controlled emptying into the galley waste system without relying on manual tilting of heavy hot loads.

This FlexiChef Team is the right choice where a vessel needs both 75 litre and 150 litre cooking capacities available at the same station and has a 400 V electrical system that can accommodate 22,4 kW plus 34,0 kW of installed power. It is the wrong choice for small crew galleys that will seldom fill the 150 litre side or where the electrical plant is constrained, because in those cases a single smaller FlexiChef body makes better use of deck length and connected load.
