MKN FlexiChef Team Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP22XX-3XX – FlexiChef, 75 + 100 litres

Two separate cooking zones in one chassis, with 75 + 100 litres nominal capacity, set the FCEKMP22XX-3XX apart from single-pan units. The shorter side offers a 723 x 543 x 225 mm working surface, the longer 1023 x 543 x 225 mm, so the galley gains two full-size pans in a single 2900 x 850 mm footprint.

On a ship this matters because deck area for heavy cooking equipment is usually locked in early and hard to change. A 2900 x 850 x 750 mm body gives the designer a known block to work with, while the two work zones allow production to be split between functions or meal periods without reserving space for two separate appliances. At 705 kg net weight, the unit is a structural item in the galley plan rather than a movable piece of equipment, and its position, deck reinforcement and drainage need to be coordinated with the yard and naval architect.

The capacities and surface geometries define how the unit will be used in service. The 75 litre side, at 723 x 543 x 225 mm, lends itself to smaller batches or menu components where tight control and frequent changeovers are required. The 100 litre side, with its 1023 x 543 x 225 mm pan, suits bulk production. Because both pans share the same 543 mm width and 225 mm depth, utensils, baskets and operating procedures can be standardised while volumes differ. Two work zones mean two independent loading and unloading cycles, which can smooth the workflow in a galley that has to cover crew and passenger service from a single production line.

Electrical power is split in the same way. The smaller pan draws 22,4 kW and the larger 34,0 kW at 400 V, so the total connected load is significant and has to be considered against the ship’s power budget and switchboard arrangement. The 400 V rating aligns with common marine low-voltage systems, avoiding the need for step-up or step-down transformers in many installations. Where the available electrical capacity is constrained, galley planners may schedule the two sides so that peak loads do not coincide, or reserve one zone for lower-intensity work.

Wetted parts in stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) are a design point for marine use. In a galley exposed to chlorides from salt air, brine and cleaning chemicals, a higher-alloy stainless in the food-contact areas reduces the risk of pitting in the pan and drain paths over time. Fully welded seams support both hygiene and durability: there are fewer joints where soil can accumulate, and fewer mechanical connections to work loose under vibration. The hinged lid allows each zone to be opened and closed without searching for storage space for a loose cover, which is often limited around large fixed appliances.

This configuration suits vessels that genuinely need two high-capacity multifunctional pans online at once and can justify 22,4 + 34,0 kW at 400 V on a single machine. It is not the right choice for a small galley that will never use 75 + 100 litres, where a single-zone body from the same series would free both deck area and electrical capacity.
