Hix Automatic Clamshell 16×20 Heat Press
The Hix Automatic Clamshell Heat Press 16×20 is a commercial-grade, air-operated heat press engineered for high-volume garment decoration environments. Featuring a robust pneumatic lift system and automatic operation, it is designed to deliver consistent pressure, durability, and operator efficiency.
When the upper platen is lowered manually, a built-in micro switch activates the pneumatic system to apply the preset pressure automatically. At the end of the programmed cycle, the machine opens by itself, reducing operator fatigue and increasing production speed.
