Description

The Modular Heat Press Built To Grow With Your Business

  • 38 × 38 cm Working Surface
    The press offers a generous 38 × 38 cm working surface, making it suitable for a wide range of textile transfer applications. This size supports most common garment formats and flat transfer materials.
  • Modular Design
    The TC5 LITE is built with a fully modular design, allowing the control unit, heating plate, base plate, and frame to be easily removed and replaced. Users can upgrade components such as heating platens or base plates at low cost, extending the machine’s lifespan and flexibility.
  • Safety Features
    An additional cover plate on the heating platen helps protect the user from accidental burns during operation. The automatic opening function further enhances safety by reducing the need for manual handling.
  • Automatic Opening
    The Secabo TC5 LITE features an automatic opening mechanism that activates once the pre-set pressing time has elapsed. This allows the user to multitask without constantly monitoring the press. The pressing cycle can also be interrupted at any time at the push of a button.
  • User-friendly Interface
    Temperature and pressing time are conveniently set using a digital controller, ensuring precise and consistent transfer results. The clear interface makes the press easy to operate, even for less experienced users.
  • Adjustable Pressure
    Contact pressure is easily adjusted using a large handwheel located on top of the heating plate. This allows accurate pressure control to suit different materials, ensuring reliable results across various heat transfer processes.

Have used Amaya since 2003. Seventeen years !!! sheesh lol. They helped my business from day 1 and i am still running. Julian and co have been supportive throughout. We have exchanged several bottles of champers over the years as our families have grown. If you are seriously considering entering this business then i would highly highly recommend. You are not just buying a piece of machinery. You are buying a caring, rich in experience support network.
