BE&SCO 9AE-12 120V Automatic Tortilla Press, Up to 500/hr, 4" to 7" Diameter, Non-Stick Plates

The BE&SCO 9AE-12 is a 120V automatic tortilla press built for restaurants, ghost kitchens, and small commercial bakeries that need fresh-pressed tortillas and flatbreads without giving up valuable counter space. With a footprint of just 2 sq. ft. and the ability to press up to 500 pieces per hour at diameters from 4" to 7", it puts scratch-made flour tortillas, chapati, roti, naan, thepla, lavash, yufka, shawarma, and piadina within reach of operations that previously had to rely on bagged product. Note that this press is rated for flour-based dough only and is not approved for corn or gluten-free tortillas and flatbreads.

Up to 500 Pieces Per Hour at 120V

The 9AE-12 plugs into a standard 120V circuit and presses up to 500 tortillas or flatbreads per hour, which is enough to keep a busy lunch line, a build-your-own taco station, or a wrap-focused fast casual concept supplied with fresh product throughout service. Because the press runs on a single-phase 120V/15A connection with a NEMA 5-20P plug, you do not need a dedicated 240V circuit or an electrician to bring it online. Plug it in, switch it on, and the operator is producing within minutes. If your volume eventually outgrows 500/hr, the 240V sibling model is the natural step up; until then, the 120V version gives you the same press in a circuit that almost any kitchen already has.

Non-Stick Press Plates and 4" to 7" Diameter Range

The press uses non-stick top and bottom plates, so dough releases cleanly without flouring the plates between cycles and without the sticking and tearing that slows down a manual operation. Diameter is adjustable from 4" all the way up to 7", which covers everything from small street-taco rounds to larger naan and shawarma wraps on the same machine. One press handles the full menu instead of dedicating different equipment to different products.

Compact 2 sq. ft. Footprint and Modular Design

At 26"L x 13.6"W x 16.9"H and only 70 lbs, the 9AE-12 fits on a prep table or back-of-house counter where a full-size press would not. The modular design also means it does not have to stay a stand-alone unit forever. When your concept grows, the press can be paired with a BE&SCO oven combo to build out a full automatic line, so the investment you make now carries forward instead of getting replaced.

Each press cycle completes in seconds, the controls are simple enough for a line cook to run after a short walkthrough, and the 1800-watt motor is sized for continuous service-period use. For operators who have been pressing by hand or buying pre-made tortillas, the 9AE-12 is the most direct way to bring fresh production in-house without rebuilding the kitchen.
