Built for high-volume pizza and flatbread operations, the BakeMax BMTXM218W delivers fast, repeatable dough pressing with precise digital control and a space-saving swing-away design. With dual-heated platens and independent temperature control, it helps reduce labor variability, improve throughput, and maintain consistent diameter and thickness—an investment-grade solution backed by a One Year warranty from your trusted provider, Perfection Plaza.

Performance & Key Features

• Production output (400 pizzas per hour): Supports rapid service and high daily volume with consistent pressing speed.
• Flattens dough balls up to 18” in diameter / Capacity: 18 inches: Produces uniform large crusts for pizza, tortillas, and flatbreads with less rework.
• Dual-heat operation (dual-heat, upper-heat only, or no heat): Match heat to product type for better control over texture, flow, and finish.
• Independent temperature control for upper & lower platens: Fine-tune heat distribution to improve consistency across different dough formulas.
• Temperature range 0–450°F (232.2°C): Wide operating range for cold dough handling, gentle warming, or high-heat pressing as needed.
• Dual heated platen performance benefits: Speeds up production (faster pressing times), enables pressing thinner products, aids dough flow, allows dough to be pressed straight from refrigeration unit, helps keep dough from shrinking, prevents dough from sticking to platens, aids in pressing sticky dough, and helps activate yeast for faster proofing.
• New full color LCD touch screen controller (digital controls): Precise time & temperature controls for repeatable results across shifts with minimal training.
• Easy-to-use thickness adjustment: Dial in target thickness quickly to standardize portioning and bake performance.
• Bottom swing out design: Swing-away access saves space and improves workflow/ergonomics at the prep line.
• Countertop design: Integrates into existing prep stations without requiring a dedicated floor footprint.
• Electrical (selectable volts: 208 / 220 / 240V): Flexible installation compatibility for many commercial electrical setups.
• 15 amps: Efficient current draw for its output and heating capability.
• 3,600 watts: Provides the power needed for responsive platen heating and consistent pressing performance.
• 60 Hz: Standard frequency for North American commercial environments.
• Phase: 1Ph: Single-phase operation for straightforward installation.
• Plug: NEMA 6-20P: Helps ensure correct receptacle matching for safe, compliant setup.
• Gas type: None: All-electric operation simplifies placement and avoids gas line requirements.
• Approvals: ETL Electrical, ETL Sanitation, NSF: Built to meet key commercial electrical and sanitation expectations for professional kitchens.
• Country of origin: USA: Manufactured in the USA for buyers prioritizing domestic production.
