Hotronix Dual Air Fusion ProPlace IQ™ Heat Press

Product Overview
Built for ultimate heat-printing efficiency, the Hotronix® Dual Air Fusion IQ® Heat Press combines two Air Fusion IQ® presses into a single, high-capacity system. By seamlessly shuttling an upper platen between two 16″ × 20″ stations, operators can prepare one garment while another is being pressed—effectively doubling throughput without doubling floor space. Smooth, air-powered operation is controlled via a touch-screen or foot pedal, making large-run production effortless and consistent.

Key Features & Benefits

• Dual-Station Design: Transferable upper platen moves between two workstations, allowing simultaneous prep and pressing—ideal for high-volume shops needing nonstop operation.

• Smart IQ Control: Full-color touch screen stores hundreds of time-temperature-pressure recipes per station. Switch between dual or independent modes with a button press.

• ProPlace IQ™ Alignment (Optional): Upload artwork to the Hotronix Cloud and project designs directly onto the lower platen for pixel-perfect placement and fewer misprints.

• Effortless, Air-Powered Operation: Hands-free auto-swing action creates a heat-free loading area under the upper platen. Adjustable shuttle speed and auto on/off minimize operator fatigue.

• Threadability™ & Interchangeable Platens: Load garments once and rotate from front to back to avoid readjustment. Quick-change lower platens (standard 16″ × 20″, specialty boards, hat attachments) let you handle hats, sleeves, and more without swapping machines.

• Auto Adjust Pressure™: Station A can preheat while Station B finishes the application, automatically adjusting pressure and time as the platen shuttles—ensuring consistent results across different garment weights.

• Built for Durability: Cast-in tubular heating elements ensure even heat distribution. Powder-coated steel frame resists corrosion and wear, even under continuous production.

Workflow & Use Cases

• High-Volume Garment Printing: Station A preheats or pre-treats garments while Station B applies the final transfer—ideal for large runs that demand consistent dwell times.

• Print-and-Cure for DTG: Use Station A to pre-treat garments, then shuttle to Station B for curing printed designs—no separate oven required.

• Multi-Style Heat Application: Swap lower platens for hats, sleeves, or specialty boards. Threadability™ lets you load once and rotate for back prints—perfect for jackets or full-zip hoodies.

• Projection-Assisted Alignment: Upload artwork to the Hotronix Cloud; built-in projector aligns designs on the lower platen—reducing alignment time and waste from misprints.
