HIX SwingMan-20 Swing Away Heat Press 16" x 20"

HIX SwingMan-20 Swing Away Heat Press

The Easy Open & Close, Professional Grade Swing-Away Heat Press

The HIX SwingMan Series heat presses are for the professional who is serious about high quality impressions, maximum production, and safety. They are completely at home when using textile transfers but really excel when sublimating on any substrate, thick or thin, due to absolute vertical pressure and a heat casting that swings out of your way almost 180° while setting up the artwork.

What makes the SwingMan Series standout from the competition is its ability to apply over 1200 lbs of downward force with very little effort. Our exclusive linkage system provides a mechanical advantage where a small amount of force on the handle produces a much larger force on the substrate.

Press
The SwingMan sets the industry standard in heat press design for sublimation and textile heat transfer production. This will provide incredible advantages to the operator – reducing fatigue and increasing productivity. With temperature settings that range up to 450º F, and full-range repeatable pressure adjustments for items up to 1-3/4” thick. With a 16" x 20" or 20" x 25" area the swing away design makes this press great for those detailed and complex jobs. 

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
What makes the Swingman stands out from all others is the ability to apply over 1200 lbs of downward force with very little effort. Our exclusive progressive linkage method provides a mechanical advantage where a small amount of force on the hand end produces a much larger force on the press end. With the Swingman at maximum pressure, you can literally open and close the press with two fingers!

NEW • Full color LCD touch screen

• Totally integrated digital time and temperature. Turn the heat press on and easily set the temperature (with the press open) on the integrated touch-screen controller. When the press reaches the pre-set temperature (max is 450º), it maintains this value within +/- 2º.• Next, set cycle time. When you close the press, the timer will start its countdown. When it reaches “0,” the buzzer will sound. Lifting the upper platen will automatically reset the timer.
Note: The press will display its current temperature between cycles.

• The SwingMan swing-away design not only ensures that the heat is always away from your face, but also that there is no danger of accidentally running your hands up into a very hot heater block (as there may be with a clamshell press).

• The SwingMan 20 has the ability to achieve very even pressure on large, thick items or multiple small, thick items because all pressure is exerted perpendicularly onto the lower platen when the press is closed. Upon opening, the heater block lifts straight up and is then swung to the right. The procedure is reversed when
closing. Using the convenient swing-arm, the heater block is swung back left (an internal stop positions it over the lower platen). It is then ready to close. It should be noted that the swing requires very little effort to maneuver.

• The press accepts setups up to 1.75” thick. This is a very desirable benefit for those shops that want to truly maximize the potential of their press operations. The SwingMan 20 presses tiles, plaques, really thick jackets, sublimatable awards, etc.

• ETL Listed. The Electrical Testing Laboratory (ETL) listing for manufacturers is similar to the UL(Underwriters Laboratory) listing for household appliances. The ETL Listed Mark is issued to products that have met the requirements of product safety standards in the US and Canada for residential and commercial use. On a practical basis, this means that all components, wiring, connections, and construction meet a pre-described set of specifications as outlined in that standard. This means that the press is safe in your home or business.

• Lifetime warranty on the heater element and a one-year warranty on other parts of the press.
