Hotronix STX20 Auto Clam Heat Press - 16" x 20"

Hotronix® STX20 Auto Open Clam Heat Press – 16" x 20"

The Hotronix Auto Open Clam is Stahls' best-selling heat press, built in the USA for shops that need consistent results without babysitting every press. When the timer ends, the press opens by itself, so a garment never sits under the heat too long. Start a press, then trim, weed or fold the next order while it runs.

The large 16" x 20" platen handles adult tees, hoodies, full-front prints, names and numbers on jerseys, oversized transfers and all-over sublimation. The clamshell design takes up little counter space, and the wide opening gives you plenty of room to lay out garments. No air compressor is needed.

Why decorators choose the STX20

• Patented magnetic auto open: the press releases when time is up, so you avoid scorching and over-application and can run more than one job at once
• Digital pressure readout: you see an actual pressure number every time you close the press, so there's no guessing
• Twin Timers™: good for pre-heating and two-step applications
• Magnetic assist lockdown: closing the press takes less effort, so operators tire less over a long run
• Over-center pressure adjustment with a floating heat platen: even pressure without pinching, whatever the garment's thickness
• Even heat: a cast-in tubular heating element runs every 2", so there are no cold spots, and a platinum RTD sensor keeps the temperature accurate
• 3/4" thick non-stick upper platen
• Interchangeable lower platens (sold separately) for youth sizes, sleeves, pockets and specialty items
• Works with the Hotronix Heat Press Caddie™ stand (sold separately) if you want to print front and back without re-laying the shirt
• Temperature range of 205°F–420°F, with readings in °F or °C
• UL, ULC, CE and RoHS approved
