Automatic Production Presses

by Geo. Knight & Co. Inc

This page covers the Geo Knight & Co line of standard sized automatic heat transfer presses. These presses significantly add to the productivity of heat transfer pressing by relieving the operator of the major manual tasks normally associated with manually clamping presses. Featuring smooth air operated automatic pressing at the push of a button, these automatic presses take all guesswork out of the transfer process, replacing it with a high volume output of consistent and reliable heat pressed product. There are two types of standard sized automatic presses. These are the shuttle press and swing-away designs. The shuttle presses offer a two station configuration where the operator may load and unload one table while the other is under the heat platen. When the heat platen finishes pressing one of the tables, the other is shuttled under the heater block. This allows for optimal use of the heater block, with minimal time wasted while there is no product being pressed. The other design is the same as the Manual Swing-away presses except air operated, of course. The automatic swing away presses feature convenient table top operation with the ease and power of push button activation.
		394 Series Shuttle Press The 394 is an extremely high pressured heat transfer press designed to provide the consistent, reliable force and uniform temperature distribution necessary for even the most demanding production requirements. It is available in two different heater block sizes: 16" x 20" and an oversized 20" x 24". The most advanced machine in the industry for standard sized transfer applications, the 394 Factory Shuttle press offers a twin station loading assembly. This dual sliding table configuration allows the operator to unload a finished garment/imprinted item and load the next piece while the material on the other table is being pressed. Thus, production capacities are doubled even beyond the transfer printing speed provided by the fully automatic operation of the timer, temperature and pressure controls.
		Control Panel Fully programmable digital microprocessor controls. Digital temperature control with current & set-point temperature indication. Countdown digital timer directly initiates auto-platen release. Extremely accurate pressure gauge and control. Thermal control alarm for consistent pressing. Operator lockout feature for tamper proof settings. Open access emergency release buttons. Features Twin shuttle dual workstations for fast, high speed production by a single operator. 12,000 lbs max force. Heat platen, wiring, and all controls are mounted on a solid stationary four-post channel frame support to insure minimal maintenance. Smooth roller bearing slide rail with 3/8" aluminum tables:independent surrounding drape tray for garment overhang. Permanent mounting on casters for easy loading, unloading and in house movement. Built-in safety alarm and circuit protection OSHA approved dual safety operation controls. Lifetime Warranty on heat platen, Full one year warranty on machine. Comes with easy to read grid tables for accurate job set up and registration. Machine provides ability to apply a variety of special effects decorating as well, such as multimedia foiling, sublimation,hot-split transfer, color copier imaging, and deep embossing. Custom sized & shaped bottom table castings available for specific layout requirements.

394-MPT 20" x 24" Mousepad Press		To meet the massive demand for high production Mousepad imprinting, the 394-MPT was developed with a special registration system for material placement and transfer registration. Crosshair locating bars are machined on the lower platens for perfect and fast placement of mousepads or other items. Plunger pins in the corners of the lower platens allow for perfect alignment of the transfers over the mousepads. The pins hold the transfer in place to guarantee an ideal line up every time with fast and easy setup of the materials. For heattransferring 4-up or 6-up mousepads, wristpads, coasters or other related items, the 394-MPT is the ideal high production heat press machinery solution... proven by countless industry manufacturers of items such as those mentioned above.

The DK20SP provides a production oriented heat press with the benefits of push button operation, fully digital temperature & time control, and solid casting design with an affordable automatic heat press price. It is available in a 16" x 20" heater block size. The DK20SP utilizes the same Digital Knight control system as the as the DK20S series, and operates with a smooth swing-away fashion instead of shuttling. For demanding press runs and super consistent results, the DK20SP is an ideal press for meeting requirements that go beyond what a manual transfer press andoperator can handle. The DK20SP is the industrial grade midrange solution between heavy duty manual heat presses such as the DK20 and DK20S and high production 394 Factory Shuttle Press machines.
