Benchstar Electric Vertical Bun Toaster EBT-1400

The Benchstar EBT-1400 is an electric vertical bun toaster with a 16 inch conveyor, toasting up to 900 bun halves an hour — or up to 1,400 an hour with the optional extended feeder. An EGO thermostat controls the heating plate across +50 to +250C, a geared motor with a cooling fan drives the belt, and a purpose-designed cooling system keeps the top of the unit down. Full stainless steel construction with adjustable legs.

Why operators choose the EBT-1400

• Up to 900 bun halves per hour — continuous vertical throughput rather than batching buns through a contact grill
• Optional extended feeder lifts output to 1,400 per hour — the upgrade path is a feeder, not a second machine — which is where the model number comes from
• 16 inch conveyor — buns feed through continuously, so staff load and collect rather than watching a timer
• EGO thermostat control of the heating plate — a proven commercial thermostat brand, holding the plate steady under continuous load
• Purpose-designed cooling system — keeps the top of the unit cool in a confined service area
• Geared motor with cooling fan for belt drive — the drivetrain is cooled as well as the cabinet, which is what sustains all-day running
• +50 to +250C range — from gentle warming through to a fast, dark toast
• Full stainless steel with adjustable legs — levels on an uneven bench and stands up to daily commercial cleaning

Specifications

Venue suitability

The EBT-1400 suits burger shops, quick-service kitchens, pubs, clubs and food courts putting volume through a bun line, where a contact grill becomes the bottleneck. If your peak needs more than 900 halves an hour, specify the optional extended feeder at the same time rather than retrofitting later.

Installation & delivery

It draws its power through a 15 A outlet, not a standard 10 A one. The 15 A plug has a larger earth pin and will not fit a normal socket, so confirm a 15 A circuit is available at the install position or budget for an electrician to add one. Allow 630 x 485 mm of bench with clearance at both the feed and collection ends of the conveyor, and space above for the cooling system to exhaust. The legs are adjustable, so it can be levelled on an uneven bench. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. A manufacturer-backed warranty applies to this model. Our supplier records disagree on whether labour is covered, so rather than state a term that may be wrong we ask you to confirm it with us before purchase — see our warranty information page.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Will the EBT-1400 run from a normal power point? A: No. At 2.8kW it needs a 15A outlet. A 15A plug has a larger earth pin and will not fit a standard 10A socket, so confirm a 15A circuit is available or budget for an electrician to add one.

Q: What output can it manage? A: Up to 900 bun halves an hour as supplied, and up to 1,400 an hour with the optional extended feeder fitted.

Q: Is the extended feeder included? A: No — it is an option. The 900-per-hour figure is what the unit does as supplied; the 1,400 figure requires the extended feeder.

Q: What temperature range does it cover? A: +50 to +250C, controlled by an EGO thermostat on the heating plate.

Q: What warranty applies? A: A manufacturer-backed warranty applies. Our two supplier records for this model disagree on whether labour is covered, so we would rather you confirmed the exact term with us than rely on a figure we cannot verify. Contact our team or see our warranty information page.
