MKN Magnum Multifunctional Bratt Pan 10019139 – Tilting, Optima 850

Sixty‑five litres of pan volume on a 700 x 540 mm working surface defines the scale of the MKN 10019139 Magnum bratt pan. At 1300 x 850 x 700 mm overall in the Optima 850 line, it occupies a single wide module but delivers a full 65‑litre tilting pan with one work zone.

Those proportions matter in a shipboard galley where cooking capacity, deck area and ventilation load are all traded against each other. A 14.4 kW electric connection at 400 V puts this unit in reach of a typical galley distribution panel without pushing into the very high installed loads associated with larger battery pans. At the same time, 65 litres is enough for main‑meal production on a workboat or a smaller passenger vessel without having to specify a second pan just to meet peak covers.

The 700 x 540 x 210 mm pan gives a relatively deep working height, so volume is available both for shallow frying and for stews or sauces without risking boil‑over under way. With a single work zone, temperature management is straightforward for crews rotating through the galley: one setpoint controls the entire 65‑litre surface. The net weight of 222 kg (262 kg gross) is a reminder that this is a fixed piece of galley infrastructure that needs a proper deck foundation and detailed input into the naval architect’s weight and stability calculations.

The construction follows the Optima 850 approach of tying individual modules into a continuous line. Dimensions of 1300 x 850 x 700 mm allow this Magnum bratt pan to sit flush with other Optima 850 bodies, which simplifies pan and pot movement across the line and reduces dirt traps between appliances. Electrical power is 14.4 kW at 400 V, so the supply has to be reserved for it in the galley’s load schedule, and any energy optimisation or load‑shedding scheme on board can make use of the pan’s published readiness for connection to an energy optimisation system.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) wetted parts
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Fully welded seams
• Far-forward pivot point for controlled pouring
• Double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system

The double‑walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip is as much a hygiene and housekeeping feature as it is about energy: condensate is directed back into the 65‑litre pan, not across the hob or deck, and the lid can be moved without wrestling against its own weight. The far‑forward pivot point gives more controlled tilting when decanting, which is important on a moving deck where a sudden shift of 65 litres of hot product is an obvious risk. Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout, with 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on wetted parts, supports a cleaning regime based on frequent hot washing without sacrificing the structural frame.

This Magnum bratt pan suits vessels that need a dedicated 65‑litre tilting pan integrated into an Optima 850 cooking suite and have 14.4 kW available on a 400 V line. It is not the right choice where the galley pattern calls for multiple, independently controlled smaller pans, or where electrical capacity is so constrained that 14.4 kW for a single appliance cannot be justified.
