The HIX 20" Manual Clamshell Press 16" x 20" platen and splitter stand is a must-have machine for any serious start-up business. This workhorse has a full coloured fullscreen LCD controller with a wide array of features and a new high-performance moulded rubber pad that is highly resistant to pressure. The machine's heat casting is made of aluminium alloy to maximise heat transfer. The large substrate clearance allows it to handle any job with a maximum work surface of 16” x 20”The HT-400 comes with a free splitter stand. This feature holds the shirt over the lower platen, keeping the back of the shirt away from the heat and compression. The splitter stand design is ideal for avoiding double compression and heating of a previously applied transfer on the same shirt. It also prevents all ink migration to the back side of the shirt when using sublimation ink. The simple open-and-close handle with spring assist and a full range pressure adjustment provides even pressure on thicker items and adds 20% more pressure than straight handle designs.
Product Details
Easy integrated digital time and temperature settings - Touch-screen controller access allows simple dialing in of time and temperature.
From the touch-screen controller, preset selections of temperature-time combinations can be easily programmed into the machine.
Tilting (floating) lower platen - The bottom platen tilts up towards the upper platen as the heat press closes. This equalizes pressure even when pressing thick items, like a quarter-inch thick 8×10" ceramic tile.
Top Pressure Plate- 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).
Certified electrically safe (ETL) - The “Electrical Testing Laboratory" seal means HIX presses have passed a rigid and very demanding independent testing process, and have been certified electrically safe.
100% Made in the USA - HIX has its own 11,000 sq ft manufacturing facility with its very own fully integrated aluminum foundry, CNC mill operation, welding, metal forming, wiring, fabrication, assembly, and packaging departments.
A one-year general manufacturer's warranty and lifetime manufacturer's warranty on the heater element.
