Transfer Presses

Large format presses

Large-Format Presses

Large-format presses transfer your designs precisely and evenly, even onto particularly large target materials. This gives you a professional transfer result on large-format textiles and materials. Whether standard or industrial power connection – with the right large-format press you reliably cover your individual format requirements.

With large-format presses, the right pressing area and power supply for your target material is what counts, in order to achieve an even transfer result across a large area. In the Large-Format Presses category, Print Equipment offers you pneumatic sliding-table presses in different format sizes for your needs. In the Large-Format Presses category you'll find the right press for your workflow.

What defines large-format presses?

Large-format presses transfer designs using heat and pneumatic pressure onto particularly large pressing areas. A suitable format size and power supply is decisive for an even transfer result on large-format materials.

The typical use of a large-format press is clearly structured:

  • The large-format textile or material is positioned on the extendable pressing area
  • Temperature, contact pressure and pressing time are set via a digital multi-zone measurement
  • A compressor supplies the press with the necessary pneumatic contact pressure
  • The press transfers the design evenly across the entire large-format area

Large-format presses thus ideally complement our Flat Presses category and are a sensible addition to our Pneumatic Flat Presses category.

Why large-format presses are indispensable

Large-format presses play an important role for transfer onto particularly large target materials. Only with a sufficiently large pressing area can an even, professional result be achieved on large-format textiles and materials.

The most important advantages include:

  • Large pressing areas: From 64×54cm to 125×85cm for a wide range of formats
  • Digital multi-zone temperature measurement: For an even result across the entire area
  • High contact pressure: Pneumatically generated for a reliable transfer result. Your individual target format is decisive for the choice.
  • Robust construction: Suitable for permanent use in daily production
  • Ideal for professional daily production: Popular with businesses working with large-format target materials

This makes large-format presses indispensable both for the occasional large-format order and for continuous large-format production.

Which format sizes are there?

In the Large-Format Presses category, both a single-phase model and three-phase models for even larger formats are available to you.

Single-phase large-format press

The SEFA SLIDE-655 works with standard single-phase current and is suited to getting started in large-format production.

Typical characteristics are:

  • Usable pressing area 60×50cm, temperature range 0–230°C with multi-zone measurement
  • Connection via standard single-phase current (240V), no industrial power connection needed
  • Maximum material thickness up to 45mm

This makes the SLIDE-655 ideal for businesses without a three-phase power connection.

Three-phase large-format presses

The SEFA SLIDE-865 and SLIDE-1285 require a three-phase power connection and enable even larger pressing areas.

They are particularly suitable for:

  • SLIDE-865 with usable pressing area 80×60cm, connection 380V/32A three-phase
  • SLIDE-1285 with usable pressing area 120×80cm, connection 400V/20A three-phase, automatic opening and closing
  • Maximum material thickness up to 50mm for both models

With our three-phase large-format presses you thus find the matching solution for particularly large target formats.

Our large-format press range at a glance

In Print Equipment's Large-Format Presses category you'll find one single-phase and two three-phase SEFA models for your large-format workflow.

For pneumatic operation you additionally need a matching compressor, which we also offer. We also stock matching protective covers as well as a mobile base table for our SLIDE series.

Typical advantages:

  • Wide choice of formats: From 60×50cm to 120×80cm usable pressing area
  • Renowned manufacturer: SEFA in the range

Our large-format press range is thus a sensible addition if you want to take care of transfer onto particularly large target materials.

What to look out for when buying a large-format press

If you want to buy a large-format press, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.

Important criteria are:

  • Power connection: Clarify in advance whether your business has a three-phase power connection
  • Pressing area: Choose the size to match your predominant target format
  • Compressor: Plan a suitable compressor for pneumatic operation
  • Material thickness: Make sure the maximum material thickness is sufficient for your target material
  • Space requirements: Consider the dimensions and weight of the press at your installation site

The right selection ensures that you work reliably and evenly on large-format materials.

Large-format presses for different applications

Depending on target format and available power connection, the demands on your large-format press vary considerably. While the single-phase SLIDE-655 manages without an industrial power connection, the three-phase SLIDE-865 and SLIDE-1285 enable even larger pressing areas for particularly extensive target materials.

The choice of the right press therefore depends strongly on which target format you predominantly work with and which power connection is available at your site. For getting started in large-format production, many businesses first rely on the single-phase SLIDE-655 and expand with a three-phase model if needed.
