Bottom heater platen available! (See options on right)
Bottom heat platens are ideal for double-sided products such as car flags, bag tags, holiday ornaments, lanyard badges, etc. Because each platen utilizes fully independent digital control boxes and Geo Knight® SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater technology, the presses can be easily adjusted to also provide traditional top-only heat or bottom-only heat when needed.
The Digital Combo DC16AP is an air-operated, automatic 14x16 swing-away heat press with optional interchangeable heat platens and tables. For users who desire the table-top footprint of the Digital Combo, and need its versatility, but desire a more productive automatic pressing and automatic release action, the DC16AP is the perfect machine. This press is also used heavily for large quantity small label application, with the smaller 6"x8" label press head and bottom tables. All attachments used on the manual Digital Combo press including the Cap, Plate, Tile, Cube, Twin-Shuttle, and even bottom heat are fully compatible with the Air Operated Automatic Digital Combo press.
Included with this heat press is a felt pad
(used for tile printing) at no Additional Cost!

The Geo Knight AIR is the next step up from the Manual version. This automatic press is provides massive amounts of pressure due to its dual air-bag, 10-ton/20,000 lbs max force pneumatic pressing system. The heavy steel triple reinforced welded C-Frame design is built to withstand a lifetime of intense pressing and automatic operation, and allows for full draping of materials over the front, left and right sides of the press, without hindrance. The electronic digital temperature control maintains even heat across the entire surface of the heater, and the timer automatically starts when the press is activated and automatically releases the press when elapsed. For a large format heavy pressure automatic press that is one step below the larger industrial 931 Triton machines, the AIR is the solution.

The CA1000 Carousel Heat Transfer Press with 4 or 6 independently controlled pressing stations. Standard platen size is 16"x20" making this an ideal machine for t-shirts, however other platen sizes are available. Operation by foot pedal or automatic mode with programmable index time. The CA1000 is CE certified and will meet or exceed worldwide safety and efficiency standards.
The CA1000 Carousel features six of the AIT 1350PM heat press heads with the added feature of the bottom plate extending out of the machine for loading and unloading. Each of these heat presses feature the unique Mica Matte heating system for the exacting demands of heat control required by dye-sub printing.
The control system is extremely flexible. In the automatic mode the rotation speed can be set from 2 seconds to 60 seconds, and the machine will operate continuously until an E-stop is hit at the loading station. In the manual mode, the rotation is actuated by the operator with a foot pedal. The direct drive system utilizes a large AC inverter motor with a gearbox. There are no chains or sprockets.
Time, temperature and pressure is set individually on each of the six press heads. The standard carousel has interchangeable 16"x20" heated heads and bottom platens. Special size plates are available for both top and bottom plates. For example, small shirt sizes are best accommodated with an 12"x16" bottom plate.
