Automatic Heat Transfer Press

Automatic heat transfer presses apply printed graphics, logos, labels, or text from a transfer material onto the surface of a product. The transfer paper or film is placed against the product, and the press applies the right amount of heat and pressure to transfer the printed design onto the surface. Once the pressing cycle is complete, the transfer film or paper is removed, and the graphic remains on the product. Our heat transfer machines handle the pressing cycle with less manual intervention, which is useful for repeated production of items such as T-shirts, insoles, socks, masks, bags, and other flat or relatively flat products. Depending on the transfer material and process used, heat transfer can also be applied to leather, textiles, plastics, coated metal, wood products, and other compatible surfaces.

Features
  • The press runs smoothly with a precision motor and gearbox, and operators can adjust the speed according to the product and transfer process.
  • The color mark sensor reads the registration marks on the transfer film to position each design correctly before it is transferred onto the product.
  • Operators can check and adjust the main settings directly from the touchscreen, which keeps setup and operation simple.
  • The press can switch between automatic and semi-automatic operation according to different production needs. In semi-automatic mode, the operator can use the foot switch to control each pressing cycle more directly.
  • The digital temperature controller shows the current temperature and lets operators change the heat setting according to the transfer material and substrate being processed.

What Is Heat Transfer?
Heat transfer is a printing method that uses heat and pressure to apply a pre-printed design from transfer paper or film onto a product. The material is pressed at a controlled temperature for a set amount of time, then the paper or film is removed.
  • Good Durability: Heat transfer graphics can resist fading, cracking, and peeling when the correct transfer material and pressing settings are used. They can also retain their color well after repeated washing.
  • Suitable for Different Materials: Heat transfer is suitable for more than textiles. Depending on the transfer system and the surface, it can also be applied to leather, acrylic, metal, plastics, wood, coated paper, and other flat or relatively flat materials.

    1. Rewinding Inspection

      Rewinding Inspection

      Rewinding inspection machines bring web inspection, alignment correction, and rewinding together in one production stage for flexible roll materials. Built around an automatic web-guiding rewinder, the range adds dedicated inspection workstations so operators can check product quality during the rewinding process instead of treating inspection as a separate operation.

    1. Unwind and Rewind

      Unwind and Rewind

      Unwind and rewind units are an essential part of roll-to-roll printing and converting lines because they control how flexible materials enter and leave the production process. The unwind unit releases the material from the supply roll at a controlled rate, while the rewind unit collects the processed web into a new roll at the other end of the line.

    1. Slitting and Cutting

      Slitting and Cutting

      Slitting and cutting machines are used after printing or during converting when the material needs to be cut into a different width, length, or sheet size before moving on to the next step. Depending on the job, they can divide wide rolls into narrower rolls, cut web materials into individual sheets, or trim sheets to their final dimensions.
