Stahls' Hotronix Auto Open Clam Heat Press

Never scorch a garment again. The Auto Open Clam automatically pops open the moment your press time ends, so transfers can't over-press while you're handling other tasks. A Platinum RTD heat sensor and cast-in tubular heating elements every 2" keep the platen cold-spot-free for even, reliable curing — making it one of the most dependable clamshells in a busy DTF shop.

Key Features

  • Automatic pop-open — opens at the end of the cycle to prevent scorching and over-pressing.
  • Cold-spot-free heating — cast-in tubular elements every 2" for even temperature.
  • Platinum RTD heat sensor — accurate, consistent temperature control.
  • Over-center pressure adjustment — easy, even pressure setting.
  • Three sizes — 11"x15", 16"x16", or 16"x20"; interchangeable platens optional.
