What Is Heat Press Machine?

   According to Wikipedia, a heat press is a machine engineered to imprint a design or graphic on a substrate, such as a t-shirt, with

the application of heat and pressure for a preset period of time. While heat presses are often used to apply designs to fabrics, specially

designed presses can also be used to imprint designs on mugs, plates, jigsaw puzzles, caps, and other products.

Most heat presses currently on the market use an aluminium upper-heating element with a heat rod cast into the aluminium or a

heating wire attached to the element. For high-volume operations involving the continuous imprinting of items, automatic shuttle

and dual platen transfer presses are used. The substrates to be imprinted are continuously loaded onto the lower platen and shuttled

under the heat platen, which then applies the necessary heat and pressure.

The pattern is printed in sublimating ink on sublimating paper which allows the pattern to transfer.

How Does PTFE Fabric Help In Heat Press?

PTFE fiberglass fabric could help the heat press process in the following aspects:

I. PTFE fiberglass fabric owns the feature of stable physical performance, that is low extension, and low deformation under even

extremley low and high temperature of 260°C, when putting the clothes, e.g on the machine, it could effectively aviod the clothes’

sticking to the pad, which saves lots of labor cost and financial lost due to damage of clothes.

II. For the clothes made of fiber cable, it is easy to stick to the aluminum pad, the PTFE fabric has speacial version, anti-static version,

which could solve the problem.

III. Just like mentioned above, the PTFE fiberglass fabric could resist high temperature of 260°C, and it is also heat conductive, it

ensures the normal work of machine, the success of heat press without any damage to the surface of clothes etc.

Generally speaking, the advantages of PFFE fiberglass fabric could effectively do good to the heat press work, saving cost in finance

and labor both, moreover, it allows the heat press machine more lifecycle.
