Pneumatic Flat Presses
Pneumatic flat presses transfer your designs onto textiles and flat materials using compressed air with constant contact pressure. This gives you efficient and reproducible series production with high throughput. Whether double-platen or sliding-table system – with the right pneumatic flat press you reliably cover your individual production needs.
With pneumatic flat presses, the right operating concept for your production flow is what counts, in order to enable a consistently efficient workflow. In the Pneumatic Flat Presses category, Print Equipment offers you both double-platen and sliding-table presses for your needs. In the Pneumatic Flat Presses category you'll find the right press for your workflow.
What defines pneumatic flat presses?
Pneumatic flat presses transfer designs using heat and compressed-air-driven contact pressure. A suitable operating concept is decisive for efficient, continuous series production.
The typical use of a pneumatic flat press is clearly structured:
- The textile or flat material is positioned in an exact fit on the pressing area
- Temperature, contact pressure and pressing time are matched to the respective transfer material
- A compressed-air connection supplies the press for constant, even contact pressure
- While one area is pressing, the second can already be reloaded
Pneumatic flat presses thus ideally complement our Flat Presses category and are a sensible addition to our Manual Flat Presses category.
Why pneumatic flat presses are indispensable
Pneumatic flat presses play an important role for efficient series production with high throughput. Only with compressed-air-driven, constant contact pressure can an even result be achieved across an entire shift.
The most important advantages include:
- Constant contact pressure: Compressed-air-driven for an even result across the entire production
- Parallel working: Load one area while the other is pressing
- High throughput: Ideal for series production with many repetitions. Your individual production volume is decisive for the choice.
- Long warranty periods: Up to 3 years on the press and 10 years on the heating element
- Ideal for professional daily production: Popular with businesses with high order volumes
This makes pneumatic flat presses indispensable both for continuous series production and for professional multi-shift operation.
Which operating concepts are there?
In the Pneumatic Flat Presses category, both double-platen and sliding-table presses are available to you.
Double-platen presses
Our double-platen presses SEFA DUPLEX-AIR-PRO-V3, DUPLEX-PRO-V3 and DUPLEX-LITE-V3 work with a shared heating head that alternates between two fixed-mounted pressing areas.
Typical characteristics are:
- DUPLEX-AIR-PRO-V3 with fully automatic opening via foot pedal or automatic mode
- DUPLEX-PRO-V3 with automatic head change between the pressing areas
- DUPLEX-LITE-V3 with manually movable heating head as an entry-level variant
This makes our double-platen presses ideal for continuous production with parallel loading.
Sliding-table presses
Our sliding-table presses SEFA SLIDE-540-LITE, SLIDE-540-PRO and the TP-54-TWIN sliding-table transfer press work with a movable, extendable pressing area instead of a traveling heating head.
They are particularly suitable for:
- SLIDE-540-LITE with manual extension of the pressing area
- SLIDE-540-PRO with automatic extension to the front
- TP-54-TWIN as a two-station press with tool-free platen change in around 10 seconds
With our sliding-table presses you thus find the matching addition for ergonomic loading and unloading.
Our pneumatic flat press range at a glance
In Print Equipment's Pneumatic Flat Presses category you'll find double-platen and sliding-table presses for your transfer workflow.
In addition, with the SEFA ROTEX-AIR-PRO-V3 and ROTEX-AIR-LITE-V3 we stock pneumatic swing-arm presses with a single pressing area and automatic swing mechanism – a compact alternative to our double-platen and sliding-table models.
Typical advantages:
- Different operating concepts: Double-platen, sliding-table and swing-arm systems available
- Renowned manufacturer: SEFA in the range
Our pneumatic flat press range is thus a sensible addition if you want to take care of efficient and continuous series production.
What to look out for when buying a pneumatic flat press
If you want to buy a pneumatic flat press, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Operating concept: Choose between a double-platen and sliding-table system depending on your workflow
- Compressed-air supply: Plan a suitable compressor for reliable operation
- Contact pressure: Check the pressure regulation for an even transfer result
- Material thickness: Make sure the maximum material thickness is sufficient for your target material
- Production volume: Consider whether a pneumatic press is worthwhile for your order volume
The right selection ensures that you work efficiently and continuously in your series production.
Pneumatic flat presses for different applications
Depending on workflow and production volume, the demands on your pneumatic flat press vary considerably. While double-platen presses use a traveling heating head for continuous loading, sliding-table presses work with a movable pressing area for particularly ergonomic loading and unloading.
The choice of the right operating concept therefore depends strongly on how your team is used to working and how high your throughput is. For consistently efficient operation, many businesses with high order volumes rely on double-platen or sliding-table presses so that loading and pressing can run in parallel.
