TC5 Smart Energy Saver Heat Press - automatic clamshell modular press with Bluetooth
The Secabo press has a fully modular design, consisting of: control unit, heating plate, lower plate, base frame, and power cable. All modules can be easily disassembled and replaced in just a few simple steps, allowing for broad customization depending on requirements.
The transfer press can optionally be equipped with interchangeable plates in various sizes, a membrane lower plate, or dual-plate slide rails.
The press opens automatically once the set time has elapsed and notifies the user with an audible signal. The pressing process can be interrupted at any time by pressing a single button. Temperature and pressing time are selected via a digital controller.
The Secabo Energy Saver press features a modern heating plate with additional insulation, which significantly reduces energy consumption – by about 60% over the entire operating cycle compared to standard presses. The applied new technologies also reduce the carbon footprint, contributing to environmental protection. Automatic shut-off and sleep mode during idle times are additional advantages that support energy savings. Efficient energy management extends the lifespan of the device, thereby improving its performance and contributing to faster amortization of purchase costs.
The device’s temperature and operating time are set using 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.
Stable and uniform heat distribution across the working plate ensures consistent, high-quality transfer prints.
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.

Key features of heat transfer presses for printing:
Heat press machines are used to transfer graphics onto a variety of materials using high temperature and appropriate pressure. Depending on their design, heat presses can be manual or automatic, including clamshell models that open upwards and swing-away models that open to the side. Individual heat presses offer different technical parameters, such as temperature range, pressure strength, and even heat distribution across the platen. This wide selection ensures that a Secabo heat transfer press can be optimally matched to the individual needs of the user.
Heat presses for clothing and promotional materials are used in many printing techniques, including sublimation, flex and flock films, flex and flock for sublimation and solvent printing, DTF (Direct To Film), and transfers from both laser and inkjet printers.
Thermal transfer presses are widely used across multiple industries, such as the garment industry for marking textiles like T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, fabric bags, workwear, pillowcases, and the advertising industry for personalizing promotional items such as puzzles, mouse pads, keychains, and photo frames.
