For over 70 years, the WP MATADOR® deck oven has been the global benchmark for quality and reliability in artisan baking. Designed to deliver extremely uniform and repeatable baking results day after day, for decades, the MATADOR is a true multitalent. It guarantees perfect baking quality—from crusty breads and baguettes to delicate rolls—making it the indispensable core of successful bakeries worldwide.

• Ultimate Flexibility: Ideal for treasured family recipes and new, innovative products alike.

Three Variants for Every Bakery Need
The MATADOR series offers a configuration for every production scale, from classic artisan baking to fully automated industrial lines.

• MATADOR (Classic): The foundational model. Baking area from 8.0 – 19.0 m². Heated by oil, gas, or electricity. Manual loading.

• MATADOR MDE (E-Version): The direct electric solution. Baking area from 11.5 – 17.28 m². Designed for manual operation with electric heating.

• MATADOR MDV (Maxi Version): The high-capacity, automatable powerhouse. Baking area from 12 – 52 m². Heated by oil, gas, or electricity. Designed for integration with semi- or fully automatic loading systems.

Proven Technology for Superior Results
The MATADOR’s legendary performance is driven by unique, proprietary systems that work in harmony.

• ZYKLOTHERM® Heating System: The heart of the MATADOR. This energy-saving circulation system ensures perfect heat transfer for even browning, crisp crusts, and full flavor development.

• Excellent Vapor Guide: Achieves 75% relative humidity in under a minute. Ensures ideal shine, a juicy crumb, and a crunchy crust, perfect for batch-on-batch baking.

• MATADOR STONE Lining: An all-around stone lining creates a baking environment similar to a wood-fired oven, using radiant heat for greater product volume, a tender crust, and longer-lasting freshness.

• WP ENERGY BLOCK Insulation: A 30 cm high-tech insulation layer reduces surface heat loss by nearly 11%, significantly cutting energy costs.

Intelligent Control and Connectivity

• WP NAVIGO 3 Oven Control: An intuitive, ergonomic control system with an extra-large display for precise recipe management and explicit cost-saving functions.

• WP BAKERY CONTROL: Digital production management software for a 360° view of your bakery. Monitor oven data, manage recipes, optimize baking sequences, and reduce idle time from any internet-connected device.

Designed for Automation and Efficiency
The MATADOR is engineered to integrate seamlessly into any workflow.

• Loading Systems: Compatible with manual (JACK), semi-automatic (PAGE, STEWARD), and fully automatic (OBER PRO II) loading systems to increase efficiency and reduce physical strain.

• WP RETHERM Heat Recovery: An optional system that recovers waste heat from the oven, channeling it to your heating and hot water installations to dramatically optimize energy costs.

Service and Support You Can Rely On
WP BAKERYGROUP ensures your production never stops.

• WP SERVICELINE 24: Access to guaranteed service and emergency support.

• Proactive Maintenance: Our goal is to predict and prevent downtime before it happens.
