MKN Tilting Boiling Kettle 10019210 – Electric, Optima 850

One hundred litres of boiling capacity on a 1200 x 850 mm body defines the MKN 10019210 tilting kettle in the Optima 850 line. Installed electrical power is 21 kW with a quoted heat-up time of 26 min, so each batch can be planned against a known time to boil.

Aboard ship, that 100-litre volume on a single work zone is sized for a main galley rather than a pantry, yet it does not occupy more than the 1200 x 850 mm footprint already allowed for an Optima 850 module. The 400 V supply aligns with the typical three-phase distribution found on larger vessels, simplifying integration into the galley switchboard and load-shedding scheme. Net weight is 225 kg, with a gross shipping weight of 260 kg, so both the foundation and the route from the logistics point to the galley should be checked for handling capacity before the unit leaves the yard.

The working surface is a round stainless steel vessel with Ø 630 x 397 mm dimensions, giving the 100 litres of stated capacity. The radiused base edges and fully welded construction reduce product hang-up and simplify wash-down of the food zone once the kettle is drained. Stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) throughout provides a consistent material for inspection and cleaning regimes that follow recognised marine guidelines. Overall height is 700 mm, and with the kettle vessel pivot-mounted left and right within the frame, operators can use the tilt action rather than lifting to empty product or rinse water.

Heating is delivered via the VAPRO system, with a separate steam generator under the vessel. The generator is heated by cylindrical stainless steel elements and controlled by an intelligent heating control that matches output to demand within the 21 kW envelope. The result is the published 26 min heat-up time, achieved without bringing elements into direct contact with the food. Connection to the mains water supply covers both product filling and generator make-up water, removing the need for manual topping-up. Preparation for connection to an energy optimisation system is built in, so the kettle can participate in any central power management strategy rather than operating as a standalone load.

Build and control

This unit is the right choice where a galley needs a single 100-litre boiling point integrated into an Optima 850 block and can allocate 21 kW at 400 V to one appliance. It is the wrong choice where only small-batch work is done and deck space or connected load would be better used by a smaller kettle or by equipment that can switch between multiple functions.
