Abstract

The invention is that of a heat press designed to produce high-quality thermal transfers comprising a carousel one or more press stations. In preferred embodiments, the carousel comprises a plurality of arms, each bearing a lower platen that may be rotatably shuttled beneath one or more upper platens of one or more press stations. An actuator configured to cause the upper platen to apply pressure and heat to the lower platen is provided. A garment bearing a transferable applique is slid onto the lower platen so the applique may be transferred to the garment as heat and pressure are applied. In preferred embodiments, the upper platen comprises a pressure sensor and temperature sensor and is coupled to a programmable logic controller. An operator of the heat press may select desired temperature, pressure, and dwell time for the transfer, and monitor the process on a connected digital display.
