For a line that has outgrown a three-foot griddle, the MagiKitch'n MKE-48-E adds a full extra zone without stepping into gas. Its 48-inch, 1" thick polished plate suits high-volume burger restaurants, breakfast operations, hotels, hospitals and schools that want a heavy-duty electric flat top.
Total power is 22.8 kW, supplied by Incoloy sheathed elements pressure clamped to the plate at 5.7 kW per 12 inches. Four electric thermostats (200°F – 550°F), each with its own on/off switch, cover a 47-3/4" x 24" cooking surface.
What you will notice in day-to-day use
- Room for the whole order. Nearly four feet of usable plate lets you run proteins, eggs and buns at once.
- Four zones, four jobs. Set each 12" section separately, and turn unused zones off in quiet periods.
- Responsive thermostats. Probes embedded in the plate tell the controls what the cooking surface is really doing.
- Serious grease capacity. A 3-1/2" front trough and welded chute empty into a 3.75 gallon grease box with a splash-zone compartment.
- Easy daily cleaning. Extra smooth 12 gauge splash panels, no exposed fasteners and a removable cabinet back.
Choosing your setup
Voltage: select the voltage and phase of your electrical service above. Every version is rated 22.8 kW; this size needs two separate power supplies, and the table shows the amps per line on each one. The griddle is field wired; an optional 6 ft, 60 amp cord with NEMA 15-60P plug is offered by the factory for three-phase service (two are required on this size).
| Electrical service | Amps per line, each of 2 supplies |
|---|---|
| 208V, single phase | 54.8 A |
| 208V, three phase | 31.6 A |
| 240V, single phase | 47.5 A |
| 240V, three phase | 27.4 A |
For a lower minimum temperature (150°F) choose the MKE-48-ST with solid state thermostats. 24", 36" and 60" widths are also available.
