What’s the Difference Between an Intelligent Heat Press Carousel and a Traditional Heat Press Machine?

In a rapidly developing society, business owners are constantly looking for new ways to improve working efficiency. The DTF printing industry is no exception. Recently, SUBLISTAR launched a revolutionary, intelligent, automated heat press carousel that can totally automate the heat pressing process. Therefore, this article will introduce this intelligent automated heat press carousel and explain the differences between it and the traditional heat press machine.

What is an Intelligent Automated Heat Press Carousel?

To improve DTF printing efficiency, the intelligent automated heat press carousel features robotic arms for automatic film release, heat pressing, and tearing without operator involvement. You simply need to do some preparation work before starting the machine, like as placing all of the film in a fixed location and adjusting the temperature and time to the specific fabric. After testing, this machine can produce a T-shirt in 10 seconds, significantly increasing production efficiency and ensuring that all orders are completed on time.

How Does It Work?

It is not complicated to operate this intelligent automated heat press carousel. Firstly, set up the machine parameters. Secondly, place the cut DTF film in the fixed platform and put the T-shirt on the heat press plate. Thirdly, the robotic arms will automatically put the film on the T-shirt. At last, the heat press carousel will heat press the T-shirt, and the robotic arms will peel off the film automatically.

Benefits of Intelligent Automated Heat Press Carousel

The intelligent automated heat press carousel features the following advantages:

⦁ Increased production speed. The intelligent heat press carousel is equipped with 6 stations, allowing for several tasks to be handled at the same time. While one item is being transferred, another can be loaded or unloaded. According to the test, this intelligent heat press carousel can print about 10,000 T-shirts in half an hour.

⦁ Higher efficiency and automation. Automation is the largest benefit of this intelligent automated heat press carousel. The intelligent system puts the film, heat presses the film, and peels the film fully automatically, eliminating the need for constant manual intervention and adjustments. This feature also greatly reduces human errors and improves working efficiency.

⦁ Applications in different materials. The intelligent automated heat press carousel is able to work with different types of materials, including cotton, polyester, nylon, and more, making it a versatile choice for businesses that need to print different substrates. The ability to print on different materials makes it ideal for diverse product lines, from T-shirts, hoodies, coats, bags, to other garments.

⦁ Suitable for high-volume production. For business owners who want to expand production scales, this intelligent automated heat press carousel offers the ability to press multiple items simultaneously, making it ideal for high-volume production, allowing businesses to meet customer demands more efficiently. That means business owners can take on more orders within the appointed time, leading to more profits.

Key Differences Between Intelligent Automated Heat Press Carousel and Traditional Heat Press Machine

The key differences between an intelligent automated heat press carousel and a traditional heat press machine include automation level, speed and efficiency, cost, and target customers.

Automation Level

⦁ Intelligent automated heat press carousel is fully automated, making it much more efficient and streamlined. The carousel enables multiple stations to work at the same time. And the robotic arms allow for the automatic heat press process, reducing the need for manual operation. It can handle multiple products at the same time, greatly improving production speed and saving labor costs.

⦁ Traditional heat press machines are generally manual or semi-automated. Under the common conditions, operators need to put the film on the plate and operate the machine to heat-press the patterns. Afterwards, they will peel off the film manually.

Speed and Efficiency

⦁ Due to the automation, the intelligent automated heat press carousel is faster and more efficient. It features multiple heat press stations and robotic arms, allowing the operators to print several items at the same time, significantly speeding up the production process.

⦁ With a traditional heat press machine, you can only handle one item at a time. The efficiency of traditional heat press machines is lower than the intelligent automated heat press carousel.

Cost

⦁ The intelligent automated heat press carousel is usually more expensive than the traditional heat press machine because of its intelligence and automation. The initial set-up cost can be higher, but the production efficiency can offset the cost over time, especially for business owners who handle high-volume orders often.

⦁ Traditional heat press machines are less expensive. However, they need more manual operation, slower production speeds, and potential errors during the printing process, which could affect production efficiency, especially with high-volume orders.

Target Customers

⦁ The intelligent automated heat press carousel is ideal for high-volume commercial printing, such as garment printing businesses, print shops, and other enterprises looking for top-end automation and efficiency in the heat press process.

⦁ Traditional heat press machines are perfect for small businesses, personal studios or personalized customization. They provide an affordable option for those who take on a smaller volume of prints and have a smaller budget.

Intelligent Automated Heat Press Carousel Traditional Heat Press Machine

Automation Fully automatic Manual or semi-automatic

Speed and efficiency Faster and higher efficiency Slower

Cost Higher set-up cost but cost-effective in the long term Less expensive but limited to smaller volume orders

Target customers High-volume businesses, commercial prints Small businesses

Conclusion

In conclusion, the intelligent automated heat press carousel offers a more advanced, efficient, and intelligent solution for business owners who handle high-volume production or want to grow their printing businesses. On the other hand, traditional heat press machines are more suitable for small businesses that may focus on personalized customization prints or smaller-scale prints. Whether the intelligent automated heat press carousel or the traditional heat press machine, SUBLISTAR provides the best DTF printing solution for you.
