Best for:
Not ideal for:
Single-phase power locations (requires 415V 3-phase connection), outdoor or poorly ventilated areas due to steam generation, operations needing more than 2 trays simultaneously, or locations with ceiling height restrictions preventing proper ventilation installation.
The BakerMax ME2ST-1 delivers professional deck oven performance with steam injection capability for artisan bread production. This single-layer unit handles two 600×400mm trays simultaneously, featuring digital microcomputer control for precise temperature management. The steam injection system creates optimal crust development for sourdough, baguettes, and crusty breads. Efficient heating tube design ensures even heat distribution, while double-glazed viewing window enables real-time bake monitoring. Compact 1240×860mm footprint suits smaller commercial kitchens requiring professional bakery results.
Built with stainless steel construction throughout, the ME2ST-1 features an efficient heating tube system positioned for optimal heat distribution across the 860×623×215mm internal chamber. The digital microcomputer controller provides accurate temperature management, while the inter-layer rear smoke baffle design prevents rapid temperature drops when doors open. Double-glazed tempered glass window construction maintains chamber temperature while allowing visual monitoring. The unit accommodates standard 600×400mm commercial baking trays and includes provision for stone sole upgrade to enhance heat retention and crust development.
As commercial electric baking equipment, this unit should comply with AS/NZS 60335-2-42 for commercial electric cooking appliances and AS/NZS 3000 for electrical installation requirements. Steam generation components require compliance with AS/NZS 4343 for commercial steam equipment. Installation must meet local authority requirements for commercial kitchen ventilation and electrical connection. Contact KW for specific compliance documentation and installation requirements for your state.
Running costs depend on your usage pattern, energy plan, and maintenance schedule. Call 1300 001 366 for a custom cost estimate.
For 100 loaves daily, the ME2ST-1's 2-tray capacity suits most artisan operations. Standard 600×400mm trays hold 8-12 medium loaves depending on size, giving you 16-24 loaves per cycle. With 3-4 cycles daily, this easily handles 100 loaves. Consider your peak production times and whether you need continuous baking capability.
Running costs depend on your baking schedule, local electricity rates, and usage pattern. The 8.6kW unit draws significant power during heating and baking cycles. For accurate daily operating costs based on your specific usage, contact KW at 1300 001 366 for a customized estimate.
Yes, the ME2ST-1 requires 415V 3-phase electrical connection and cannot operate on single-phase power. Steam injection also requires adequate ventilation to handle moisture and heat exhaust. Installation must comply with local commercial kitchen ventilation codes and electrical regulations.
Deck ovens like the ME2ST-1 provide direct radiant heat ideal for bread and pizza, while convection ovens use circulated air better for pastries and general baking. The BakerMax offers steam injection for artisan breads, but lower overall capacity than similar-priced convection units. Choose based on your primary baking focus.
Professional deck ovens require quarterly cleaning and inspection of heating elements, door seals, and temperature sensors. Steam injection systems need monthly descaling in hard water areas. Annual professional service should include electrical connections, thermostat calibration, and safety system testing. Proper maintenance extends equipment life to 10-15 years.
The ME2ST-1 should comply with AS/NZS 60335-2-42 for commercial electric cooking equipment and relevant food safety construction standards. However, final compliance depends on proper installation and local authority approval. Contact KW for current certification documentation and installation compliance requirements.
The ME2ST-1 suits small to medium operations focusing on artisan breads requiring steam injection. It's ideal if you need professional deck oven results with 2-tray capacity and have 415V 3-phase power available. Consider larger units if you need higher volume or multiple simultaneous bake cycles.
