HIX HT-400 Clamshell Heat Press 15" x 15"

HIX HT-400 Clamshell Heat Press

The Industry's Number One Heat Transfer Press

The NEW HIX® EVO TOUCH HT Series manual clamshell heat presses have been a mainstay of the graphics industry for 60 years because they’re rugged, durable, and built to perform. Underneath the new paint and graphics, they now feature a full color LCD touchscreen controller with a wide array of features and a new high-performance molded rubber pad that is highly resistant to pressure.
At the heart of these presses is the heat casting that is manufactured in-house using an exclusive aluminum alloy to maximize the heat transfer. The floating lower platen helps to provide even pressure from edge to edge at all temperatures and even works on thicker substrates. The easy to open and close handle is equipped with a spring assist, a full range pressure adjustment, and adds 20% more pressure compared to straight handle designs.

Clamshell
Top Pressure Plate – The handle attaches to a 4″x5″ 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).

Display
Easy integrated digital time and temperature settings – Color LCD touchscreen controller allows simple dialing in of time and temperature. The current pressure is displayed on the touch-screen display each time the press closes. Now with user presets available to save the settings of your most common products.

Design
The HT Series now includes a cantilevered Splitter Stand, allowing for the operators to “dress” the shirt easily over the lower platen, keeping the back of the shirt positioned underneath the machine and away from the heat and compression. This is handy when trying to avoid double-compression and heating of a previously applied transfer on the same shirt.

NEW • Metal enclosure
NEW • Full color LCD touch screen

• Easy integrated digital time and temperature settings – Touch-screen controller 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.

• The current pressure is displayed on the touch-screen display each time the press closes. The pressure is easily changed with the black pressure dial on the face of the control housing (clockwise for more, counter-clockwise for less). There are nine settings: 0-3 for light pressure, 4-6 for medium, and 7-9 for heavy. This is a great feature if you need to press a lot of different thicknesses.

• Tilting (floating) lower platen – The bottom platen tilts up toward 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 110,000 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 warranty and lifetime warranty on the heater element.
