Description
Digital Knight 16×20 Clamshell Heat Press DK20
Digital Knight 16×20 Clamshell Heat Press DK20 is engineered for professional decorators who need a full-size pressing area without the footprint of heavier swing-away equipment. This clamshell press opens with the rear of the heat platen lifting up and away from the lower table, giving operators improved access during loading. The rigid steel frame allows garments to slide completely over the table with full drape space around and underneath the pressing area. The DK20 is an excellent solution for shops that value mobility, efficiency, and consistent results.
Why Choose the Digital Knight 16×20 Clamshell Heat Press DK20
The DK20 stands out among clamshell presses due to its wide-opening design and industrial construction. Unlike standard clamshell presses, the raised rear platen provides easier garment positioning while maintaining even pressure. This design makes the DK20 well suited for professional environments where accuracy and speed matter.
Designed for Space-Conscious Production
The DK20 clamshell frame allows operators to dress garments right-side up with minimal obstruction. Interchangeable bottom tables are available for smaller pressing areas, making the press adaptable to different job types. Compared to swing-away presses, the DK20 offers improved portability and easier placement in tight workspaces.
Upgrade Options Available
The DK20 can be upgraded with a Pop-Up automatic release system for faster semi-automatic garment production. An optional twin station upgrade is also available, transforming the press into a dual-station clamshell solution for increased output while maintaining a compact footprint.
