16×24 Sublimation Heat Press Machine without Slider

The 16×24 Machine Black is a serious production tool for businesses that have outgrown smaller format presses and need a larger, more capable machine to match their growing output demands. The 16×24 inch (40×60 cm) platen provides a significantly larger workspace than a standard 15×15 Heat Press Machine with Touch Screen — comfortably accommodating oversized T-shirts, hoodies, full-width banner transfers, large tote bags, metal art panels, and blanket sections in a single press cycle without repositioning, saving considerable time and eliminating the alignment inconsistencies that come with pressing a large design in multiple passes.

The platen is powered by a 1,700W dual heating tube element embedded directly into the aluminium platen body — a construction method that ensures the heat source is uniformly distributed across the full 16×24 inch surface from edge to edge, rather than concentrating heat around a single central element as cheaper single-tube designs do. The platen is finished with a Teflon anti-stick coating that prevents ink, adhesive, and vinyl residue from bonding to the surface, protects substrate materials from direct platen contact, and makes cleaning between jobs quick and effortless. A two-layer silicone sponge base pad sits on the lower platen, providing a compressible, even surface that accommodates materials of varying thicknesses while maintaining consistent contact pressure across the entire design area.

Temperature is controlled through a digital LED panel that simultaneously displays both the set target temperature and the actual current platen temperature in real time, allowing operators to monitor heat stability throughout extended production sessions. Temperature is adjustable from ambient up to 232°C (450°F), and the press time is independently configurable from 0 to 999 seconds with an audible completion alert. The pressure adjustment knob on the upper arm provides fine, stepless control from light contact through to firm, high-pressure compression — suitable for everything from delicate polyester sublimation transfers to thick HTV applications on heavyweight cotton.

A high-precision temperature sensor continuously monitors platen temperature and adjusts the heating element output in real time to maintain setpoint stability, preventing the temperature drift that causes colour inconsistency across long production runs. For businesses that need the additional ergonomic benefits of an automatic opening mechanism and a slide-out loading drawer, the 16×24 Auto Open Heat Press Machine with Touchscreen Controller and Slider is a natural step up from this model.

The machine is built on a heavy-gauge structural steel frame with a cast iron clamshell arm mechanism that delivers consistent, even clamping force with minimal operator effort — significantly reducing hand and wrist fatigue during high-volume pressing sessions. The swing arm pivot is precision-engineered for smooth, controlled opening and closing, and the mechanical stop system prevents the arm from dropping freely or closing unexpectedly during garment loading. The machine operates on 110V/220V dual voltage at 1,700W and is compatible with the full range of heat transfer applications including sublimation, HTV, flock and glitter vinyl, DTF transfers, rhinestone and hotfix transfers, screen-printed transfers, and direct-to-garment (DTG) post-cure pressing across T-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, polyester sportswear, mouse pads, aluminium metal panels, and ceramic tiles.

For small businesses and startups requiring a more compact or multi-function entry point, the 5-in-1 Combo Heat Press Machine with Slider offers a versatile alternative with five interchangeable attachments in a smaller footprint. For operations requiring the widest possible range of substrate capabilities, the 8-in-1 Heat Press Machine expands the attachment range further — together forming a comprehensive machine lineup that covers every stage of a growing personalisation or print-on-demand business.
The 16×24 Machine Black weighs 24 kg and measures 80 × 71 × 44 cm, with a total carton CBM of 0.2497 m³ and a volumetric weight of 49.95 kg. Available as a single unit.
