MKN Magnum Multifunctional Bratt Pan 10019148 – Tilting, Optima 850

143 litres of pan volume on a 1020 x 540 mm working surface defines this Magnum multifunctional bratt pan within the Optima 850 line. With 19.2 kW connected load at 400 V, it is sized for high-output cooking on a single work zone rather than a bank of smaller pans.

At 1600 x 850 x 700 mm, the body follows the Optima 850 depth and sits as a full-length module in a main galley cooking line. That footprint matters aboard: a unit this wide effectively occupies one whole bay in an 850 mm-deep suite, so it is a deliberate choice for a production galley rather than a small pantry. Weight at 280 kg net, 320 kg gross, makes it a fixed item that will be bolted or welded down to comply with both stability and sanitation requirements on deck.

The 143 litre capacity in a 300 mm-deep pan suits bulk work where searing, shallow frying, saucing and braising all run in the same appliance. One work zone simplifies control in a galley where the pan is normally loaded fully rather than split between dishes. Electrical power of 19.2 kW at 400 V gives enough heat density over the 1020 x 540 mm surface to charge the full volume, while still fitting within a typical galley power group on a marine switchboard. Being prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system helps with load shedding and prioritisation where several heavy consumers share the same supply.

Material choice follows marine practice: stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout for the carcass, with stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) on the wetted parts inside the pan. That split keeps the external surfaces in a conventional catering grade while giving the cooking well and internal contact surfaces the extra chloride resistance expected in a salt-laden galley environment. Fully welded seams support both hygiene and the mechanical integrity needed when the appliance is repeatedly heated, cooled and tilted under load.

The far-forward pivot point is there for controlled pouring of the 143 litre pan. On a moving ship this is not a minor detail: the closer the tipping axis is to the front, the more predictable the flow into waiting containers and the less lifting staff have to do at awkward angles. The double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip contains steam and condensate over the 1020 x 540 mm opening and manages it back into the pan, which helps reduce moisture into the room air and keeps condensate from running down the front in service.

This unit is the right choice where a galley needs a single, large tilting pan integrated into an Optima 850 block, with 143 litres used regularly for main-meal production. It is not the best fit for a small crew galley or a line that needs several independently controlled smaller pans; in those cases, shorter modules or multiple work zones give more flexibility in the same electrical group.
