The BakeMax BMTXM218SS is engineered for high-volume, consistent dough pressing with the flexibility to run dual-heat, upper-heat only, or no heat—so you can match heat to product type and workflow. Built for production speed, efficiency, consistency, and safety, this countertop swing-away press helps reduce labor variability while increasing throughput and finished-product uniformity. As your trusted provider, Perfection Plaza offers this professional solution for operations that demand repeatable results shift after shift.

Performance & Key Features

• Production output (400 pizzas per hour): High-throughput pressing capacity supports peak service and prep efficiency without bottlenecking your line.
• Flattens dough balls up to 18” in diameter / Capacity: 18 inches: Produces consistent large-format skins for pizza and other dough-based products with uniform coverage.
• Dual-heat operation (dual-heat, upper-heat only, or no heat): Dial in the right heat strategy for different dough types, hydration levels, and production timing.
• Independent temperature control for upper & lower platens: Fine-tune top/bottom heat balance to improve consistency and reduce rework across varying dough conditions.
• Temperature range 0–450°F (232.2°C): Wide operating range supports everything from cold pressing to high-heat workflows for faster cycle times.
• New full color LCD touch screen controller with precise time & temperature controls (Digital controls type): Repeatable settings help standardize output across staff and shifts while minimizing training time.
• Easy-to-use thickness adjustment: Quickly set target thickness for consistent portioning and predictable bake results.
• Bottom swing-out / swing-away design: Swing-away access improves ergonomics and workflow while helping save space and simplifying loading/unloading.
• Upper platen leveling adjustment: Helps maintain even pressing across the surface for uniform thickness and reduced waste.
• Dual heated platen advantages: 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—supporting smoother operations and more consistent finished product.
• Electrical (208/220/240V, 15 amps, 3,600 watts, 60 Hz, 1Ph): Professional electrical configuration delivers the power needed for stable heating performance in demanding production environments.
• Plug type (NEMA 6-20P): Specifies the required connection for proper installation planning.
• Gas type: None: All-electric operation simplifies utility requirements where gas is unavailable or undesired.
• Warranty duration (One Year): One-year warranty coverage supports confident investment planning.
• Approvals (ETL Electrical, ETL Sanitation, NSF): Certified for electrical safety and sanitation expectations commonly required in commercial foodservice settings.
• Country of origin (USA): Made in the USA for buyers prioritizing domestic manufacturing.
• Dimensions (Product): 26" W × 29" D × 36" H—fits on a countertop footprint while providing a stable working height for pressing operations.
• Weight (Product): 175 lb—substantial mass helps keep the unit stable during repetitive pressing cycles.
• Dimensions (Shipping): 40" W × 30" D × 33" H—supports freight planning and receiving logistics.
• Weight (Shipping): 225 lb—accounts for crating/packaging for accurate freight handling preparation.
• Design: Countertop—integrates into prep lines and production stations without requiring a floor footprint.
• Type of door: No door—open press format for fast, repetitive loading and unloading.

Build Quality & Design

• Construction (Stainless Steel) with heavy-duty stainless-steel finish: Built for durability and corrosion resistance in high-use kitchens, while remaining easy to wipe down for daily sanitation.
• Aluminum upper & lower platens: Designed to deliver consistent pressing surfaces and efficient heat transfer for reliable results.
• Sleek, modern, durable & easy-to-clean design: Supports fast cleanup and a professional presentation in open-kitchen or production environments.
