MKN Magnum Multifunctional Bratt Pan 10019172 – Optima 850

Nineteen point two kilowatts into a 113-litre pan gives the Magnum 10019172 solid heating across a 1020 x 540 x 250 mm working surface. At 1300 x 850 x 700 mm, it occupies a defined Optima 850 body while still dedicating most of that footprint to a single large pan.

On board, that 1300 x 850 mm plan area is a fixed piece of the galley drawing, so knowing that this unit is one work zone matters. The bratt pan takes a clear block in an Optima 850 run and the 700 mm height sits the working surface at a level many crews know, while leaving space for the yard to route services underneath. Net weight of 235 kg, rising to 275 kg gross, feeds directly into deck loading checks and the practicalities of moving the unit from quay to final position through doors and lifts.

The 1020 x 540 mm pan surface favours operations that want one large batch on a single level. For shallow frying or braising, that area lets product spread instead of stacking, while the 250 mm depth and 113-litre capacity make it possible to hold stews or sauces without running close to the rim. With one work zone, the full 19.2 kW output applies to the whole surface, so there is a single temperature profile to monitor and only one set of controls to teach to rotating crews.

The electrical data are fixed at 400 V and 19.2 kW. Those figures need to be allowed for in the main switchboard and in the ventilation and cooling calculation, because the installed power is part of the galley heat load. On vessels where the 400 V distribution is already close to its limit, or where the HVAC allocation for the galley is tight, the 19.2 kW rating becomes a selection constraint rather than an afterthought.

The 700 mm body height, combined with the double-walled hinged lid, defines the working posture and the clearance under any hood above. The lid runs on a swivel joint and carries a condensate drip strip, guiding condensate back into the 113-litre basin instead of onto adjacent work surfaces or the deck. The drain valve is there for emptying product and flushing cleaning water, which reduces manual lifting of hot contents. An R3/4" tap with 250 mm reach brings water directly into the pan, removing the need for separate fill hoses in a confined galley.

Build and control

• Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout
• Self-supporting closed construction
• Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) wetted parts
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Fully welded seams
• Drain valve
• Double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip
• R3/4" tap, 250 mm reach

The split between stainless steel 1.4301 for the structure and 1.4404 for wetted parts targets exactly the surfaces that see food and water, while fully welded seams and the self-supporting closed construction cut down on joints and voids that are slow to clean. Being prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system lets the designer integrate the 19.2 kW draw into a managed load-shedding scheme rather than treat it as a standalone consumer.

This Magnum multifunctional bratt pan is a good fit where a single, relatively large 113-litre pan is needed in an Optima 850 line and where a 400 V, 19.2 kW allocation to one appliance is acceptable. It is the wrong choice for a concept that needs several independently controlled work zones in separate bodies rather than one 1300 x 850 mm module. Ordered under MKN product number 10019172.
