HIX S-450 Auto-Open Clamshell Heat Press
Worry-free pressing in a compact size. The HIX S-450 adds mechanical auto-open to the proven HT platform — close the lid and walk away, and the clamshell pops open at the end of the cycle while the upper platen stays at your preset temperature, ready for the next press. No air compressor required. A floating platen and even HIX heat casting keep results consistent on the 15" x 15" surface.
