MKN Magnum Multifunctional Bratt Pan 10019173 – Optima 850

143 litres of pan volume with a 1020 x 540 mm working surface puts this Magnum multifunctional bratt pan into the main-production bracket of an Optima 850 line. At 1300 x 850 x 700 mm and 225 kg net weight, it occupies a full-width body in the suite without becoming an anchor for the surrounding modules.

On board, that footprint-to-capacity ratio is the core argument. A 143-litre pan gives enough surface and depth for searing, shallow frying and wet cooking in batch sizes that match a medium to large crew, while still fitting within an 850 mm-deep Optima run that galley designers already know. Electrical connection at 400 V with 19.2 kW installed power ties it into a standard three-phase galley distribution panel, and the unit is specified as prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system so it can be managed alongside other heavy consumers.

The working surface is 1020 x 540 x 300 mm, so this is a single 1-zone pan rather than a split-surface design. For the chef that means one consistent temperature field when the menu calls for uniform batches, and for the engineer it simplifies control and maintenance. Net weight at 225 kg and gross weight at 285 kg give the yard the figures needed for handling, structural checks and floor load calculations during installation. The 1300 x 850 x 700 mm body keeps alignment straightforward with other Optima 850 appliances.

Materials matter in a marine environment, and this unit separates structural and wetted parts accordingly. The carcass is stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout, with stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) for the wetted parts, so the surfaces in permanent contact with food and water use the higher-alloy grade. Fully welded seams and the stated self-supporting closed construction contribute to hygiene and stiffness: there are no panel gaps in the body for moisture and soil to work into. A drain valve handles emptying of the pan, and a double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip keeps steam and condensate under control during operation.

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
• Prepared for connection to an energy optimisation system
• Drain valve for controlled emptying
• Double-walled hinged lid with swivel joint and condensate drip strip
• R3/4" tap with 250 mm reach for filling and rinsing

This is the right choice where an Optima 850 suite needs a single, sizeable multifunctional pan that can handle 143 litres in one zone on a 400 V, 19.2 kW supply, and where welded construction and 1.4404 wetted parts are part of the hygiene and corrosion strategy. It is the wrong part if the galley concept calls for several smaller pans or multiple independently controlled work zones for à la carte work rather than larger uniform batches.
