394-TS Air Operated Heat Shuttle Press

Ready to completely eliminate operator downtime, pressing delays, and physical exhaustion from your industrial print facility? The Geo. Knight 394-TS Air Operated Heat Shuttle Press is a heavy-duty, ultra-high-production automatic workhorse engineered by Geo. Knight & Co. for the most demanding commercial environments. Built with a solid steel and cast iron four-post stationary frame, this USA-made heavy industrial press features twin-shuttle dual workstations riding on a smooth roller bearing slide rail, allowing a single operator to load and unload garments seamlessly while the opposite table is actively being pressed under the heat platen.

The core production advantage of the Digital Knight 394-TS lies in its heavy pneumatic output and dual-station cycling. Equipped with a top-down, air-operated clamping mechanism, this machine generates intense, perfectly uniform pressure—ideal for high-volume Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfers, screen printed transfers, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), sublimation blanks, and heavy patches. It utilizes patented SuperCoil-Microwinding™ heater technology inside an ultra-thick, Teflon-coated heat platen, guaranteeing absolute edge-to-edge heat uniformity without structural cold spots. Operators can effortlessly roll the shuttle table side-to-side, maximizing hourly garment throughput while maintaining perfect alignment.

Permanently mounted on heavy-duty industrial locking casters, this 850 lb automatic powerhouse features OSHA-approved dual-safety button operation controls and an advanced digital controller with 70 programmable presets, giving your print facility maximum output, complete operator safety, and true commercial durability.
