MKN Tilting Multifunctional Bratt Pan 7EPKU032XFM – on Stand, Electric

A 129 litre working volume and 15 kW FlexPower heating set the scale of the MKN 7EPKU032XFM tilting multifunctional bratt pan. That combination positions the unit for full-batch work while keeping the electrical load inside a range many ships can allocate to a single galley appliance.

On board, both volume and supply voltage feed directly into the design of the main galley or crew galley where this pan will sit. The 380–415 V electrical supply aligns with three-phase ship systems, so the pan can be integrated into the existing distribution without step-up or step-down equipment in the line-up. Net weight is 246 kg, with a gross weight of 269 kg for transport, which is not just a logistics figure: it dictates how the unit is routed through stairwells, lifts and door openings and how the deck structure beneath the installation is assessed. A 129 litre pan in this weight class belongs in a fixed position in a production galley, not on a movable stand or light-duty platform.

Cooking time under the DIN reference is quoted at 100 min. That number is the planning basis for process timing when the pan is used for braising, boiling or shallow frying across its full 129 litres. Over a service pattern, 100 min determines how many complete batches can realistically be run without overloading the galley or stretching service windows; it is a more useful guide than any generic description of heat-up speed. The 15 kW FlexPower electrical rating has to be reserved on the galley distribution board, and in a refit scenario it may be the limiting factor when deciding which other high-load appliances can share the same section.

In the food-contact area, stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) is used for all wetted parts. In a marine galley exposed to salt-laden air and frequent cleaning, that choice supports long-term resistance to pitting and staining inside the pan, where failures are most disruptive. Radiused internal corners reduce soil collection points and shorten cleaning time between those 100 min cooking cycles, which is part of how the appliance supports a tight turnround between services. The hinged lid allows the operator to control steam and vapour release above the 129 litre surface area while still being able to open the pan safely during checks or stirring.

Build and control

• Radiused internal corners for hygienic cleaning
• Stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L) wetted parts
• Hinged lid
• IP-rated water protection

The IP-rated water protection around the working area is aligned with the wash-down routines typical in shipboard galleys, where spray cleaning is standard rather than occasional. This pan is a strong candidate where the menu and headcount justify 129 litres, the distribution can support 15 kW at 380–415 V, and the galley layout assigns it a permanent position. It is the wrong choice for very small galleys or snack stations that would rarely fill a 129 litre vessel, because both the 246 kg net weight and the 15 kW electrical draw would be committed without being used to advantage.
