Electric cooktop for ships LOTUS 18030831X

The LOTUS PCQT-78ETX is an electric hob designed for professional kitchens, particularly those in marine environments. This unit features four square cast iron hotplates, each with a dedicated 2.6 kW output. The hob's total power consumption is 10.4 kW, operating on a 400 V, 3-phase electrical supply. Electric hobs of this type function by passing electrical current through heating elements located beneath the cooking surface. In this case, the square cast iron hotplates are the direct heating elements. When activated, these elements generate heat which is then transferred to cookware placed upon them. The hotplates are designed with steel retaining rims for durability and to help contain heat. Operation involves selecting the desired heat level for each hotplate using the 7-position power regulator. This control allows for precise adjustment of the heat output, from a low simmer to a high heat setting. The hob is constructed from 18/10 AISI 304 CrNi stainless steel, providing resistance to corrosion, and features a Scotch-Brite satin finish. The worktop is 2 mm thick with rounded edges for safety and ease of cleaning. Chrome-plated components and a rear splashback are included. The control knobs are rated IPX5 for water resistance, a feature crucial for marine applications. For maintenance, all internal components are accessible by removing the front control panel. The dimensions of the hob are 800 mm in length, 705 mm in width, and 280 mm in height. It weighs 66 kg.
