Digital Knight 16×20 Clam Auto Popup

Digital Knight 16×20 Clam Auto Popup DK20A

Digital Knight 16×20 Clam Auto Popup DK20A delivers semi-automatic performance in a compact clamshell design. This press automatically opens at the end of each timed cycle, reducing operator fatigue and preventing over-application. The built-in hover capability allows controlled curing without full clamping pressure. Designed for portability and precision, the DK20A is ideal for shops that want automation without air requirements.

Why Choose the Digital Knight 16×20 Clam Auto Popup DK20A

The DK20A 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 with confidence. The hover feature adds flexibility for curing and specialty applications, all without the complexity of an air-operated system.

Designed for Space-Conscious Production

The DK20A 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 support 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 different job types.
