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 DC8 features all of the interchangeability and design of the DC16, but in a smaller 6"x8" format heat platen and bottom table.

Identical to the DC16 manual larger sized combo press, this press is ideally suited for label printing, applying "tagless" labels to garments, embroidered patches, and any small pressing area where a large heat platen is not appropriate.

All of the attachments available on the DC16 can be used on the DC8. The DC8 is a heavier duty swing-away version of the DK8 clamshell.

The A.I.T. 1211PA Automatic Heat Seal Label Press is a pneumatically operated heat press especially suited for the automatic application of small transfers (flock , flex, thermoplastic and formatex).

Features include foot pedal operation and four individual program cycles. Two cycles permit fully automatic operation with user defined press time settings. The transfer is automatically placed onto the substrate, the heated top platen is engaged and then releases after a preset time. An alternate program includes a preheat cycle for substrates including nylon, ripstock and vinyl. Also included is a program to allow for precise repositioning of the transfer onto the substrate.

Especially useful for attaching logo transfers to garments, the label feeding arm holds the transfer in place above the garment while the operator can reposition it according to the cross hairs of the included laser light system.

Standard features also include digital time control, independent top and bottom temperature controls and a head safety device. Designed for flexibility , the feed system magazine can be quickly changed to accommodate various sizes of transfers between 1 x 1 inch and 4 x 4 inch.

Custom size dies may be attached to the top plate to precisely regulate the area of the substrate which will be subjected to heat. Additionally, the work table surrounding the bottom platen can be easily removed to accommodate irregular shaped objects such as bags and backpacks.

Features:

• Automatic loading system for PRE-CUT transfers
• Independent top & bottom heating
• Laser light positioning system
• Digital time & temp controls
• Head safety device
• Timer range 0–999.9 sec.
• Voltage 220V, 1 PH, 10 Amps
• Inline Air Pressure: 90 PSI
• Applied force up to 12 PSI
• Temperature range: 140°-575°F

The A.I.T. 1224PA Automatic Heat Seal Label Press is a pneumatically operated heat press especially suited for the automatic application of roll transfers. Features include foot pedal operation and automatic positioning of transfers by an infra-red photocell.

Standard features also include digital time control, independent top and bottom temperature controls and a head safety device. The 1224PA also includes a low pressure regulation system to allow operation with a minimum of 1.5 PSI when working with sensitive materials including gold, leather and plastic.

Pieces per hour will be dependant on the dwell time for the transfers, and the time needed for the operator to unload and load the garment piece. The video demonstrates the speed of the machine operation.

The operator activates the machine using a foot pedal, and the press cycle time is controlled by a digital timer. At the end of the programmed time, the heated platen is raised and the roll of transfers is automatically indexed to the next transfer.

Includes Three Modes of Operation:
1) Automatic operation as described above.
2) Manual placement of transfers. The operator places a cut transfer manually onto the garment piece, and then activates the press cycle with the foot pedal.
3) Automatic operation, with the option to reposition the garment. The operator activates the machine with the foot pedal to lower the transfer paper just above, but not in contact with, the item receiving the transfer. The operator may then reposition the piece before activating the press cycle.

Designed for flexibility , the feed system can accommodate various sizes of transfers between 3/4" x 3/4" and 9-3/4" x 9-3/4". Additionally, the bottom platen can easily accommodate irregular shaped objects such as bags and backpacks.

Features:

• Automatic loading system for roll fed transfers
• Independent top & bottom heating
• Laser light positioning system
• Digital time & temp controls
• Head safety device
• Timer range 0 – 999.9 sec.
• Inline Air Pressure: 90 PSI
