Why BakeMax BMTXE218SS Commercial Countertop Automatic Swing Away Dual Heat Dough Press?

Built for speed, consistency, and operator safety, the BakeMax BMTXE218SS is a commercial countertop dough press engineered to standardize your crusts while reducing labor variability. With dual heated platens and precise digital control, it helps you press dough faster, thinner, and more consistently—even straight from refrigeration—making it a smart throughput investment for high-volume pizza and flatbread production. Perfection Plaza is your trusted source for professional equipment that performs under real service pressure.

Performance & Key Features

• Production output (400 pizzas per hour): High-throughput pressing capacity supports peak service and prep efficiency with consistent results.
• Flattens dough balls up to 18” in diameter / Capacity: 18 inches: Produces large, uniform crusts for pizzas, flatbreads, and specialty dough applications.
• Dual-heat operation (upper & lower heated platens): Speeds up production with faster pressing times and more even dough conditioning.
• Selectable heating modes (dual-heat, upper-heat only, or no heat): Flexibility to match product type and workflow—press warm, partially heated, or cold as needed.
• Independent temperature control for upper & lower platens: Fine-tune heat balance to improve consistency across dough types and thicknesses.
• Temperature range: 0–450°F (232.2°C): Wide operating range supports everything from cold pressing to heat-assisted pressing for improved dough flow.
• Full color LCD touch screen controller with precise time & temperature controls (Digital controls): Repeatable settings reduce training time and help maintain product standards across shifts.
• Easy-to-use thickness adjustment: Dial in target thickness for consistent bake performance and portion control.
• Bottom swing-out / swing away design: Space-saving operation improves access and workflow on busy prep lines.
• Dual heated platen advantages: Enables pressing thinner products, aids dough flow, helps keep dough from shrinking, prevents sticking to platens, aids in pressing sticky dough, and helps activate yeast for faster proofing.
• Allows dough to be pressed straight from refrigeration unit: Reduces tempering time and keeps production moving during rush periods.
• Electrical (Volts: 208 / 220 / 240): Multi-voltage compatibility supports common commercial electrical configurations.
• Amps: 16: Defined current draw helps with circuit planning and safe installation.
• Watts: 3,700: High-power heating supports rapid platen recovery for continuous production.
• Hz: 60: Standard frequency for North American installations.
• Phase: 1Ph: Single-phase power simplifies placement in many commercial kitchens.
• Plug: NEMA 6-20P: Clear plug specification streamlines setup and reduces installation surprises.
• Gas type: None: All-electric operation eliminates gas line requirements.
• Approvals: ETL Electrical, NSF: Compliance-focused certifications support commercial kitchen requirements and inspection readiness.
• Warranty duration: One Year: Added purchase confidence for a critical production machine.
• Country of origin: USA: Domestic manufacturing origin for buyers who prioritize U.S.-made equipment.
• Design: Countertop: Keeps the press within arm’s reach for fast cycles and efficient station layout.
• Type of door: no door: Open-access pressing design for quick loading/unloading.
• Product dimensions (W x D x H): 21.5" x 25" x 26.5": Compact footprint helps maximize prep space while maintaining commercial output.
