Hix S650 16x20 Auto Release Clamshell Heat Press

by Hix

The HIX S Series semi-automatic clamshell heat presses are built off the time-tested HT models, the S series adds a mechanical auto-open feature without the need for an air compressor that reduces operator fatigue by eliminating half of the manual effort. The auto-open feature reduces the chance of scorched t-shirts and is helpful with longer transfer times such as sublimation designs on textile and non-textile substrates that take up to several minutes to complete.

Clamshell
Top Pressure Plates - The handle attaches to a 4"x 5" pressure plate on the top platen instead of a single screw going into the top platen. This provides more even pressure on the outside edges of the press (think of it as pushing down with your entire hand, versus just your thumb).

Display
Easy to use, integrated digital time and temperature settings - Color LCD touchscreen controller allows simple dialing in of time and temperature. The current pressure is displayed on the touchscreen display each time the press closes. Now with user presets available to save the settings of your most common products.

Design
The S-650 features all metal construction with a 16"x 20" heat platen. The large clamshell opening allows for easy shirt loading. The S-650 utilizes an electronically activated mechanical latch release mechanism with a gas shock assist to help enhance and support your operations. This helps reduce fatigue and increase productivity
