VECTOR 16” x 20” Double Station Auto Open Heat Press

Double your shop's productivity and eliminate workflow bottlenecks with the Vector 16" x 20" Double Station Auto Open Heat Press (Model V1620-A2). Engineered for expanding print shops, apparel brands, and custom decorators across North America, this dual-station heat press allows operators to seamlessly load and prep garments on one station while the machine presses on the other. Built on a smooth side-to-side base rail system, the two independent 16" x 20" lower platens create a continuous, highly efficient work cycle. Because loading occurs safely away from the upper heating platen, operators benefit from a comfortable, heat-free workspace when positioning garments, HTV, and DTF transfers. The integrated auto-open mechanism automatically releases the heating element when the press cycle completes, safeguarding products from over-curing and allowing operators to focus on garment prep without constant monitoring. Supported by a gas shock-assisted lifting system, the machine opens smoothly with minimal wear and physical strain. Key Features & Benefits Dual Sliding Station Layout: Maximizes production throughput by allowing operators to prep and align garments on one station while the press completes a cycle on the other.

Heat-Free Garment Prep Area: Sliding platen movement allows operators to load apparel safely away from the upper hot plate.
