MKN Magnum Multifunctional Bratt Pan 10019149 – Tilting, Electric, Optima 850

143 litres of working volume on a 1020 x 540 x 300 mm pan surface defines this Magnum bratt pan’s role in an Optima 850 line. At 1600 x 850 x 700 mm overall and 280 kg net weight, it is a full-size production body for main galley cooking rather than a small-ship compromise.

On a vessel, that 143-litre capacity lets one appliance cover batch braising, shallow frying or bulk sauce work without stepping up to a separate kettle. The Optima 850 depth of 850 mm allows the unit to sit flush with other series modules, so pans and trays can move across the line without obstruction. With 19.4 kW of electrical power on a 400 V supply, the bratt pan ties directly into a standard three-phase galley distribution and needs to be planned into the switchboard and load-shedding scheme early, especially where multiple bodies of this size share a section.

The working surface geometry matters for day-to-day operation at sea. A 1020 mm length gives space to separate products across the single work zone, while the 540 mm width and 300 mm depth allow higher fills when cooking in liquid without risking spillage during ship motion. The far-forward pivot point and tilting function translate that volume into controlled pouring into GN containers or kettles, reducing manual handling. With a quoted capacity of 143 litres, galley planning can tie recipe yields directly to the pan’s physical limit instead of guessing from footprint alone.

Construction follows the Optima pattern but with deliberate material choices for marine use. The carcass is stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout, giving a smooth external surface and tying in visually with other Optima 850 modules. Wetted parts in stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) carry the higher-alloy material where it is exposed to hot fat, food acids and cleaning chemicals. Net weight is 280 kg, rising to 320 kg gross for transport, figures that give the naval architect a basis for deck loading calculations and for designing any supporting plinths or flanged connections.

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
• Single work zone across the 1020 x 540 x 300 mm pan

Prepared connection to an energy optimisation system is relevant on a shipboard installation where several 19.4 kW appliances can be shed or ramped to avoid overloading a 400 V distribution. The self-supporting closed construction and fully welded seams simplify cleaning around and under the unit once it is integrated into the line. The double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip helps keep condensate inside the pan and off the surrounding worktop, which matters in a confined galley where every extra litre of steam ends up on the HVAC system.

This Optima 850 Magnum bratt pan is the right choice where a line needs a large, single-zone tilting pan integrated with other 850 mm-deep modules for high-volume production. It is less suitable where multiple independently controlled smaller pans are required, or where the installed electrical capacity cannot comfortably accommodate a 19.4 kW body on a 400 V supply.
