Electric Hobs DROP-IN for Ships

Electric hobs DROP-IN for ships combine the traditional functionality of a hob with the stability and integration of a built-in appliance in a galley worktop. Each heating element is independently controllable, ensuring energy efficiency, and the built-in installation guarantees safety in marine conditions.

Types of electric DROP-IN hobs for ships

Professional electric DROP-IN hobs for ships are available in various configurations. Two-element DROP-IN hob — a compact built-in hob with 2 independent heating elements; suitable for small vessels with limited worktop space. Four-element DROP-IN hob — the standard HoReCa configuration with 4 independent heating zones in a built-in worktop installation. DROP-IN hob with elements of varying power — a combination of larger (3–4 kW) and smaller (1,5–2 kW) elements in a single DROP-IN module. Modular DROP-IN system — multiple DROP-IN appliances (hob, fryer, griddle) integrated into a single worktop system. Also explore Electric Hobs for Ships.

Marine technical parameters

Marine versions of electric DROP-IN hobs feature special parameters for safe operation in marine conditions. AISI 316 stainless steel — hob body, pan fixators and integration edge profile; higher corrosion resistance. Pan fixator system — built-in fixator rods at each heating zone to prevent pans from shifting during pitching. DROP-IN edge fixator — precisely shaped edge profile that securely holds the hob in the worktop cut-out; prevents gaps or cracks from forming. Heating element type — solid-plate steel elements or glass-ceramic; solid-plate is more durable in marine environments. Electrical power — 6–12 kW depending on the number of elements.

Modular DROP-IN systems for galley worktops

The main advantage of using DROP-IN appliances in a ship’s galley is the ability to create modular, integrated worktop systems. Modular principle — multiple DROP-IN appliances (hob, fryer, grill, griddle, bain-marie) are built into a single worktop block; the result is a monolithic, stable and hygienic galley work centre. Installation planning — installing a DROP-IN block requires precise electrical planning, cut-out coordination and installation in a new or renovated galley worktop. Galley renovation — a DROP-IN system is the ideal choice for a complete galley renovation when the entire worktop is replaced. Also explore Electric DROP-IN Grills DROP-IN for Ships.

HoReCa usage scenarios
