Geo Knight DK20SPT 16" x 20" Twin Air Operated Swing-Away Heat Press - DK20SPT
The DK20SPT is the SAME Overall press as the DK20SP, with the SAME Features of the DK20SP, but in a **dual-shuttle twin-station** framework for increased operator production. While one side is pressing, the operator can load and unload the other side, and greatly reduce both operator idle time and heat platen idle time. Like the DK20SP single-table version, the DK20SPT has the same benefits of simple push button operation, fully digital temperature & time control, interchangeable All-Threadâ„¢ bottom tables, and solid casting design with an affordable automatic heat press price. It is available in a 16" x 20" heater block size. For demanding press runs and super consistent results, the DK20SPT is an ideal press for meeting requirements that go beyond what a manual transfer press and operator can handle, as well as what a single loading table layout can provide. The DK20SPT is the industrial grade midrange solution between heavy duty manual heat presses such as the DK20 and DK20S and high production 394 Factory Shuttle Press machines.
