HIX S-650 Auto-Open Clamshell Heat Press
HIX S-650 Auto-Open Clamshell Heat Press
Auto-open convenience without a compressor. The HIX S-650 builds on the time-tested HT design, adding a mechanical auto-open feature that pops the clamshell open at the end of your timing cycle — no air required. That reduces operator fatigue and prevents scorching, which is especially valuable for longer sublimation and DTF transfer times. Even edge-to-edge heat and a floating platen round out a press built for high-traffic productivity.
Key Features
- Mechanical auto-open — pops open at cycle end with no air compressor needed.
- Prevents scorching — ideal for longer transfer and sublimation times.
- Floating lower platen — even pressure edge to edge, including thicker items.
- Even HIX heat casting — consistent temperature across the 16" x 20" platen.
- Reduces fatigue — eliminates half the manual effort of a standard clamshell.
