New hygiene and water protection standard

MKN offers IPX6 protection against powerful water jets as well as waterproof and dirt-resistant H2 hygienic cabinets, optionally equipped with embossed drawer slides (rails) and tilt protection for more safety and robustness.
Automation
Electronic litre precision water filling, eg. in cooking kettles, ensures consistent quality, reduces energy and water consumption and increases process safety.

MKN MultiSafe Connect
MultiSafe Connect is a further step in the evolution of modern commercial kitchen solutions that connects modules tightly and stably. It prevents liquid flow as well as sharp worktop edges.
