Digital Knight 14×16 Clam Auto Popup DK16A

Digital Knight 14×16 Clam Auto Popup DK16A delivers semi-automatic performance in a space-efficient clamshell design. This press automatically opens at the end of each timed cycle, reducing operator fatigue and helping prevent over-application. The built-in hover capability allows controlled curing without full clamping pressure. Designed for portability and precision, the DK16A is an ideal solution for shops that want automation without air requirements.

Why Choose the Digital Knight 14×16 Clam Auto Popup DK16A

The DK16A combines the convenience of automatic release with the simplicity of a manual clamshell. At the end of each press cycle, the machine opens automatically, allowing operators to multitask confidently. The hover feature adds flexibility for curing and specialty applications, all while maintaining a compact footprint.

Designed for Space-Conscious Production

The DK16A opens with the rear of the heat platen lifting up and away from the lower table, providing better access than traditional clamshell presses. The rigid frame allows garments to slide completely over the table with full drape space around and underneath the loading area. Interchangeable bottom tables are available for smaller pressing zones, making the press adaptable to a variety of applications.
