MKN FlexiChef Team Multifunctional Appliance FCEKMP23XX-3XX – FlexiChef, 100 + 100 litres

Two 100 litre pans in one chassis and two work zones over a 3200 x 850 x 750 mm body set the scale of the FlexiChef Team FCEKMP23XX-3XX. Each pan offers a 1023 x 543 x 225 mm working surface, so this unit is dimensioned for high-volume production on a single stretch of the cooking line.

On a shipboard galley plan, the 3200 mm length concentrates bulk cooking where extraction and fire protection are already provided, instead of scattering smaller appliances across the deck. The 850 mm width aligns with modular cooking suites, simplifying line planning and stainless plinth design. With a net weight of 770 kg, this is clearly a fixed installation that will sit on a welded foundation or flanged feet; naval architects and outfitters can work from a published figure when checking deck loading and stiffening.

Electrically, the appliance is specified for a 400 V supply with 34,0 + 34,0 kW connected load. That split mirrors the two work zones: each side of the FlexiChef Team has its own 34,0 kW power block, allowing one pan to run at full capacity while the other operates independently at a different setting or stands by. On a 400 V distribution this data feeds directly into breaker sizing, cable selection and the galley sub-board layout. The total 100 + 100 capacity is the planning number for menu engineering and batch sizes in catering calculations.

Pan geometry at 1023 x 543 x 225 mm on both sides gives two large rectangular work areas with identical handling characteristics. The 225 mm depth supports wet and shallow-fry processes without excessive splash risk, while still allowing crew to load and unload product without overreaching when the vessel is moving. With two work zones, a common pattern aboard is to dedicate one pan to core production and the other to finishing or alternate menus, keeping peak-service flows inside a single operator’s reach.

Build and control

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

The hinged lid on each 100 litre pan remains attached to the body, so there are no loose lid components to secure in seaway and no separate storage problem in a compact galley. Fully welded seams give a closed surface structure around the pans and housing, reducing dirt traps and simplifying hose-down cleaning regimes that are standard on many vessels. The integral drain valve is the practical way to empty 100 litre batches without manual lifting, and it also flags the need for a properly trapped and accessible drain line below the appliance.

Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on all wetted parts targets the corrosion risk from hot product, salt, and cleaning chemicals. These areas are difficult to repair once the ship is in service, so specifying a higher alloy at build stage is a lifecycle decision as much as a hygiene one.

This configuration suits a main galley with sustained high output where consolidating multiple fixed kettles and pans into one 3200 mm, 400 V station simplifies staffing and line layout. It is the wrong choice for a small crew mess or auxiliary galley with limited electrical capacity or sporadic production; in those cases a single-pan unit from the same FlexiChef series uses less connected load and takes less deck length.
