Heat presses are used to transfer graphics onto the target substrate using high temperature and pressure. Heat presses also differ in their opening mechanism (manual or automatic, clamshell and swing-away), temperature range, and additional parameters. This variety of heat presses makes it possible to perfectly match the machine to individual transfer needs. They can be used for techniques such as sublimation, flex and flock films, sublimation and solvent flex/flock, DTF, or transfers from laser and inkjet printers.
TC5 SMART Energy Saver Heat Press – modular, automatic clamshell press with Bluetooth
The press design is fully modular and consists of: control unit, heating plate, bottom plate, base frame, and power cable. All modules of the heat press can be easily dismantled and replaced in just a few simple steps, offering wide possibilities for upgrading the press according to specific needs
The transfer press can optionally be equipped with interchangeable plates in various sizes, a membrane bottom plate, or dual-plate guides.
The press opens automatically once the set time has elapsed and signals this with a sound. The heating process can be interrupted at any time by pressing a single button. Temperature and pressing time are selected via a digital controller
The pressure is adjusted using a knob located on top of the heating plate. The press also features an additional cover on the heating plate to protect the user from burns
The TC5 Energy Saver is equipped with a modern heating plate with extra insulation, which significantly reduces energy consumption—by about 60% over the entire operating cycle compared to standard presses. The applied technologies also reduce the carbon footprint, contributing to environmental protection. Automatic shut-off and sleep mode during idle time are further advantages in saving energy. Efficient energy management also extends the device’s lifespan, increases its work efficiency, and contributes to a faster return on investment. Even heat distribution ensures consistent, high-quality transfers
The TC5 Smart Energy Saver 38 x 38 press is equipped with an innovative Bluetooth interface, which, together with the free Secabo Smart Transfer app, allows remote control of the press. The user can select the type of fabric or material, and the app automatically adjusts the optimal temperature, time, and pressure settings. The new electronic control unit also offers additional functions – besides temperature and time settings, it includes pre-pressing, counter function, sleep mode and automatic shut-off, the ability to save up to 10 transfer parameter presets, and many more features.
