HIX S-450 15" x 15" Auto-Open Heat Press
The HIX S-450 is a 15" x 15" auto-open clamshell heat press designed to improve workflow and help protect transfers from excessive dwell time. Its electronically activated latch releases automatically when the timer reaches zero, while a gas-shock assist raises the upper platen smoothly.
Because the press opens at the end of the cycle, operators can prepare the next garment or manage another task without waiting beside the machine. The S-450 requires no air compressor, making it a practical auto-open solution for home-based businesses, start-ups, and production apparel shops.
