The SwingMan 20 Manual Swing Away Heat Press is designed for serious sublimation and textile heat transfer production, setting a standard for sublimation and textile heat transfer presses. The Swingman 20 has a large 16′′x 20′′ surface area heat platen with HIX's exclusive swing-away design and a lifetime heating element warranty. Standard features include a digital timer that reads in both minutes and seconds, digital temperature settings with a range of up to 450°F, full range repeatable pressure adjustments for items up to 1-3/4" thick, a sleek design, and an over-center lever for easy lock down. The ability to apply over 1200 lbs of downward force with minimal effort distinguishes the HIX Swingman 20 from the competition. The operator will benefit greatly from this, as it will reduce fatigue and increase productivity. This machine is ideal for making tiles, pressing XXL or smaller size shirts, ceramic tiles, puff transfers, hot split transfers, glass cutting boards, rhinestones, license plates, garments, mouse pads, plaques, and much more!
Product Details
Totally integrated digital time and temperature. Turn the heat press on and easily set the temperature (with the press open) on the integrated touch-screen controller. When the press reaches the pre-set temperature (max is 450º), it maintains this value within +/- 2º. Next, set cycle time. When you close the press, the timer will start its countdown. When it reaches "0," the buzzer will sound. Lifting the upper platen will automatically reset the timer.
Note: The press will display its current temperature between cycles.
The SwingMan swing-away design not only ensures that the heat is always away from your face, but also that there is no danger of accidentally running your hands up into a very hot heater block (as there may be with a clamshell press).
The SwingMan 20 has the ability to achieve very even pressure on large, thick items or multiple small, thick items because all pressure is exerted perpendicularly onto the lower platen when the press is closed. Upon opening, the heater block lifts straight up and is then swung to the right. The procedure is reversed when closing. Using the convenient swing-arm, the heater block is swung back left (an internal stop positions it over the lower platen). It is then ready to close. It should be noted that the swing requires very little effort to maneuver.
The press accepts setups up to 1.75" thick. This is a very desirable benefit for those shops that want to truly maximize the potential of their press operations. The SwingMan 20 presses tiles, plaques, really thick jackets, sublimatable awards, etc.
ETL Listed. The Electrical Testing Laboratory (ETL) listing for manufacturers is similar to the UL (Underwriters Laboratory) listing for household appliances. The ETL Listed Mark is issued to products that have met the requirements of product safety standards in the US and Canada for residential and commercial use. On a practical basis, this means that all components, wiring, connections, and construction meet a pre-described set of specifications as outlined in that standard. This means that the press is safe in your home or business.
Lifetime manufacturer's warranty on the heater element and a one-year manufacturer's warranty on other parts of the press.
