Maximize your shop's daily transfer output and standardize print quality with the APEX X8 8-Station Fully Automatic Rotary Heat Press. Engineered for high-volume DTF (Direct-to-Film) and commercial heat transfer production, the APEX X8 delivers continuous carousel pressing to process up to 385–420 garments per hour with a single operator.

Whether you manage an industrial apparel decoration plant, print fulfillment center, or screen printing facility across Chicago, Kansas City, Nashville, Atlanta, or nationwide, the APEX X8 brings true industrial-grade rotary automation to your workflow.

Key Features & Highlights

  • 8-Station Continuous Carousel Workflow: Features eight heavy-duty 16” x 20” workstations for non-stop loading, pressing, cooling, and unloading without machine downtime.

  • 4-Head Multi-Stage Configuration: Equipped with 3 active heating platens and 1 dedicated water-cooled cooling platen to accelerate transfer peeling and handling.

  • Integrated Water-Cooling System: Rapidly drops transfer temperatures from 212°F down to 104–140°F in seconds, drastically reducing sticking and speeding up hot/cold peel handling.

  • 10.4” PLC Touchscreen Interface: User-friendly machine-mounted color touchscreen with job parameter memory for quick setups and effortless daily operation.

  • Garment Conditioning & Fiber Flattening: Digitally controlled heating stations flatten garment fibers and introduce residual heat to optimize downstream white ink flash and pretreat processes.
