RATIONAL Multifunctional Cooking System iVario Pro XL – MarineLine, Electric, 150 litres

The iVario Pro XL is the largest iVario: a 150-litre pan on a 3/1 GN cooking surface of 59 dm², rated for 100 to 500 meals a day. It is a production unit for passenger vessel and accommodation galleys where large batches of stews, sauces, pasta and fried items are prepared at each sitting.

On board

RATIONAL approves the iVario for unsupervised operation, so stocks, braises and sauces can cook through the night while the galley is unmanned. Water is filled to the litre, the core temperature probe with six measuring points controls large pieces of meat, and baskets are lifted out automatically. Pressure cooking up to 300 mbar is an option, and iZoneControl is standard.

Choosing the size

The smaller iVario Pro L weighs 196 kg to this unit's 236 kg and needs 14 kW less.

Connections

At 3 N AC 400 V the iVario Pro XL is rated at 41 kW on a 63 A fuse. Ships running 440 V or 480 V are covered too: RATIONAL lists 3 AC 200 V to 480 V without neutral conductor (no integrated socket in that case) alongside 3 NAC 400 V and 415 V, 400 V Balanced Power, at 50 or 60 Hz. The electrical entry is a metal connection with a 1 1/2" (49 mm) thread; water connects at R 3/4" and drains at DN 50. The unit takes 1,365 mm by 894 mm of deck, stands 608 mm (1,078 mm) high and weighs 236 kg.

Marine installation

Deck fixing is by the stainless steel feet of its substructure, screwed down or welded; RATIONAL has the iVario DNV GL certified for installation in a galley. The optional SOLAS signal safety temperature limiter connects to an external 230 V signalling device (max. 8 A, not supplied) to show the voltage connection, warn of oil overheating and let an external emergency stop shut the unit down.
