New Auto Open 15x15 Draw Sublimation Digital Heat Press Machine with Lower Bed Sliding Out

1 Year warranty – Professional Grade T-Shirt or Rhinestone Transfer Heat Press Machine

Our Luxe Auto Open High Pressure Heat Press is an electro-magnetic operated automatic heat press with lower bed slide feature for easy layout. This Semi-Automatic press utilizes an electronic release mechanism with a gas shock assist to guarantee opening at the end of the print cycle. Hands free opening saves time and effort allowing the operator to apply more transfers in a shift with less effort than a traditional heat transfer press. Direct-To-Garment applications are also a large driving force in the success of the auto-open feature, allowing you the freedom of loading your printer while the last print is curing, eliminating any risk of scorching or compromising transfer quality due to overheating.

Automatic Grade Semi-automatic Feature Slide-Out Draw Platten

• Clamshell configuration - Space saving design.

• Digital LCD timer with magnetic auto open- Preset desired time and an audible alarm will sound and open automatically when time is complete; helps avoid over exposure.

• Digital LCD temperature control - Set the desired temperature and element will stop heating when preset temperature is reached.

• Full-range pressure-adjustment knob - Easy to access, top-mounted control. This allows the pressure to be adjusted according to the thickness of the material you're transferring to.

• Parallel arm handle with ergonomic foam-grip - Minimizes handle flex when opening and closing the machine, unlike some single-arm machines that tend to twist and torque. Comfortable for everyday-use and long production runs.

• Adjustable multi-spring balancer - Handle applies closing pressure through a spring and pressure-plate system, which allows pressure to be more evenly distributed across the entire platen when clamshell is closed.

• Teflon-coated element - Unlike other machines with bare-metal heating elements, the element on this machine is teflon coated. The surface is non-stick, preventing scorching of transfers, and does not require a separate silicone/teflon sheet.

• Upgraded lower platen - 3/4" thick aluminum board; built-in structural support to maintain flatness. Removable and reversible hi-temp silicone pad; unlike glued-down pads, if pad ever becomes damaged, simply flip over and use the other side. Elevated lower platen allows room for t-shirts to be easily placed into and removed from machine.

• Rigid steel frame - Machine is heavy-duty, commercial-grade, super stable and built to last.
