Heat Press Key Features

Hydraulic Auto-Open Function

Forget traditional manual pressing. The built-in hydraulic system automates the clamping and releasing motion, providing consistent pressure with minimal physical effort. The auto-open function ensures perfect timing, preventing overheating and operator error—especially during bulk jobs.

Benefits:

• Reduces user fatigue

• Enhances productivity

• Ensures pressure consistency for better print adhesion

---

Sliding Upper Platen (Head Moving Design)

Unlike fixed-head models, the HYDRO1620 features a horizontally sliding upper platen. This head-moving system offers a safer and more ergonomic workspace by moving the hot plate completely away from the operator during garment placement.

Benefits:

• Eliminates burn risks

• Speeds up garment alignment

• Improves multi-operator workflows

---

Large 16x20-Inch Heat Plate

The spacious platen accommodates both standard and oversized garments. It’s large enough to press XL-sized t-shirts, tote bags, puzzle boards, or multiple smaller pieces at once, allowing for batch processing without compromising space or alignment.

Great for:

• Large-format graphics

• All-over t-shirt designs

• Hard substrates like MDF boards or mouse pads

---

Digital Time and Temperature Control

Accuracy is crucial in heat pressing, and the HYDRO1620 delivers it with a modern digital interface. Adjust the exact temperature and timing to suit various transfer types—from low-temp DTF to high-temp sublimation.

Features:

• LED display panel

• °C/°F toggle

• Programmable memory presets for speed and consistency

---

Adjustable Pressure Settings with Hydraulic Precision

Manually adjusting pressure can be difficult and inconsistent. Thanks to its hydraulic system, the HYDRO1620 allows you to control pressure smoothly and precisely based on garment thickness or transfer media type.

Recommended For:

• Thin polyester and synthetic garments

• Thick fleece hoodies or canvas bags

• Multi-layer transfers or raised vinyl

---

Heavy-Duty, Industrial-Grade Construction

The HYDRO1620 is made with reinforced steel framing and wear-resistant components. Designed to handle high-volume operation, it maintains long-term reliability even during continuous production shifts.

Durability Highlights:

• Shockproof hydraulic unit

• Scratch-resistant coating

• Vibration-free base for quiet operation
