Close it manually.
Let it open automatically.
The Alien Press Hat Heat Press combines the control of a manual close with a magnetic automatic release. When the timer reaches zero, the platen opens automatically, helping prevent over-pressing and freeing the operator to prep the next cap.
A curved Teflon-coated platen follows the shape of caps and trucker hats, while adjustable pressure and top-and-bottom heating options give decorators more control across DTF, heat transfer vinyl, sublimation, leather patches, and small logo applications.
APH // System Architecture
Purpose-Built for Caps.
The Hat Heat Press packs the controls and stability needed for repeatable cap production into a compact dedicated machine.
Curved Teflon-Coated Platen
The curved platen is shaped for headwear and uses a non-stick Teflon-coated surface designed to protect fabric during the heat transfer process.
LED Digital Controls
Set time and temperature from the digital control screen, with temperature capability up to 450°F.
Adjustable Pressure Knob
Dial pressure up or down to accommodate different cap constructions, transfer types, and patch materials.
Press Counter
An integrated press counter helps operators keep track of completed cycles during production runs.
Top + Bottom Heating
Select top and bottom heating options for applications that benefit from more controlled heat delivery through the cap and transfer.
Three Hat Pads Included
Three hat pads are included so you can support different cap profiles and create a more stable pressing surface.
Suction Cup Feet
Suction-cup feet help keep the press planted on the work surface while loading, closing, and opening the machine.
SIDE PROFILE // APH
Production Control
Built for the curve.
Cap pressing is different from flat apparel. The APH is designed around the curved shape of headwear, with a dedicated platen, adjustable pressure, included hat pads, and controls made for repeatable production.
