for intuitive operation, maximum hygiene, and transparent processes.
The sophisticated system design combines intuitive operation with ergonomic details, integrated safety features, and optimal visibility. Hygienic surfaces, a robust design, and transparent status indicators simplify everyday work and ensure safe, efficient production processes.
Time for bread with character
In the latest YouGov study on the bread market, 84 % of consumers surveyed who prefer to buy bread at small-scale artisan bakeries said that quality was the reason. 59 % also value traditional craftsmanship. For decades, the WP MATADOR, with its WP ZYKLOTHERM technology, has been synonymous with high-quality baking results in deck ovens. The next generation of Novus X is the response to this demand: Rich steam, even distribution, and fast, direct heat transfer for exceptional baked goods.
1. Outstanding baking results
For baked goods with a distinctive character and the highest quality.
The legendary WP ZYKLOTHERM
heating system
Continuously optimized and refined.
- Legendary heating system – continuously refined
- Maximum temperature flexibility thanks to WP FLEXCORE technology
- Considerable power reserves for high baking temperatures
- Perfectly even baking results thanks to optimal heat transfer
The combination of WP ZYKLOTHERM technology and the high-performance WP POWERSTEAM steam system produces the characteristics desired in high-quality breads, including flavor development, browning, moisture retention, shine, and crumb and crust formation.
2. Maximum efficiency
For productive, future-proof bakeries.
In addition to baking quality, the oven's energy efficiency has also been optimized:
WP COMBITHERM: Baking surface on demand
The WP COMBITHERM's two independently heated groups of decks allow the baking area to be adjusted as needed and reduce energy consumption when only partially loaded. Intelligent, volume-controlled steam generation and the vapor-tight baking chamber door prevent energy and steam loss and reduce water and energy consumption.
3. Sustainable economic viability
For long-term success and sound investments.
New WP FLEXCORE direct heating technology
The directly heated MATADOR Novus X deck ovens, featuring the proven WP ZYKLOTHERM technology, can convince with their low investment costs, compact footprint, and high system availability. In operation, WP FLEXCORE direct heating technology stands out for its shorter heating times, the quickly available high baking temperature, and its maximum effectiveness. WP FLEXCORE direct heating technology offers additional advantages over thermal oil technology. The energy required to produce the necessary power is drawn only as needed and does not have to be kept available at all times. In addition, the temperature can be set individually for each baking cycle. This allows for great product variety.
New WP E-CORE UNIT
A future-proof investment thanks to its easy conversion to electricity as an energy source: The WP E-CORE UNIT in our new generation of MATADOR Novus X deck ovens allows for the conversion from gas and oil as energy sources to electricity. The conversion can be done at any time with minimal effort. Optimized for today’s operation. Prepared for the future. BE E-READY.
