Why BakeMax BMTXM20 Manual Dual Heat Tortilla Press?

Built for efficient, low-to-medium volume production, the BakeMax BMTXM20 delivers fast, consistent pressing with a clean, mess-free workflow. Its dual heated clamshell platens and large 16” x 20” pressing surface help you increase throughput, reduce labor dependency, and maintain repeatable thickness across tortillas and flatbreads—an investment-grade solution sourced through Perfection Plaza.

Performance & Key Features

• 16” x 20” dual heated platen clamshell design: Upper and lower heated platens press quickly and evenly for consistent results on flour tortillas, corn tortillas, pizza dough, and flatbreads.
• Production output: 800 tortillas per hour: High throughput supports busy prep cycles and helps shorten payback time in daily service.
• Capacity: 6 tortillas per press: Multi-piece pressing increases batch efficiency and reduces handling time.
• Flattens dough balls up to 16” in diameter: Supports large-format tortillas and flatbreads without resizing or re-pressing.
• Temperature range: Off – 450°F: Wide heat range gives control for different dough types and desired finish.
• Digital controls: Precise, repeatable settings help standardize output across shifts.
• Easy-to-use thickness adjustment (paper thin to 7/8”): Dial in everything from thin tortillas to thicker flatbreads with consistent spacing.
• Large opening clamshell: Easier loading and unloading improves speed and reduces operator fatigue.
• Heat indicator light: Light turns off when the set temperature is reached to support consistent timing and reduce guesswork.
• Dual heated platen 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.
• Electrical (220V, 1Ph, 60 Hz): Designed for stable heating performance on 220V single-phase power at 60 Hz.
• Power draw (3,300 watts, 15 amps): High wattage supports rapid heat recovery and consistent platen temperature during continuous use.
• Plug type: NEMA 6-20P: Confidently match the unit to the correct receptacle for proper installation planning.
• Gas type: None: All-electric operation simplifies placement where gas is unavailable.
• Approvals: ETL Electrical, ETL Sanitation, NSF—supports compliance-focused purchasing and sanitation requirements.
• Warranty duration: One Year: One-year warranty coverage for added purchase confidence.
• Design: Countertop: Countertop footprint supports flexible placement in prep areas.
• Type of door: no door: Open clamshell access streamlines loading/unloading without door clearance constraints.
• Product dimensions (W x D x H): 18.5” x 28.94” x 31”: Plan countertop space accurately for safe, efficient workflow integration.
• Product weight: 95 pounds: Substantial mass helps keep the press stable during operation.
• Shipping dimensions (W x D x H): 35” x 20” x 23”: Helps you plan receiving, doorway clearance, and staging.
• Shipping weight: 113 pounds: Supports freight/handling planning and safe receiving procedures.
• Made in the USA / Country of Origin: USA: U.S.-made build for buyers prioritizing domestic manufacturing.

Build Quality & Design
