Questions & Answers

Where can I buy or arrange local pickup for the MEM Lower Platen Cover locally?

You can securely place your order online and choose convenient local pickup at either the Lawson Screen & Digital Products corporate headquarters in St. Louis, MO (Penrose Street) or our Atlanta area branch in Marietta, GA (Cobb Industrial Drive). Local pickup can also be coordinated through our satellite offices in Phoenix, Orlando, and Des Moines.

What is the difference between a loose Teflon sheet and a Lower Platen Cover?

A standard Teflon sheet is loose and laid manually on top of the garment to shield the upper heating head. A Lower Platen Cover features elastic or form-fitting borders designed to wrap tightly around the bottom table. It stays permanently in place across hundreds of cycles, protecting the lower silicone pad while making it significantly faster to slide apparel on and off.

Which specific heat press models are compatible with these covers?

These form-fitting wrap covers are engineered specifically to fit the lower tables of the MEM pneumatic machinery series, including the high-capacity MEM TQ-4050 Semi-Auto Dual Station Press as well as their automated small-format pneumatic lines. Be sure to select the cover dimensions that match your specific platen footprint.

How does this accessory help improve daily garment production speeds?

Raw silicone rubber platen pads are inherently high-friction, causing t-shirts and heavy fleece hoodies to grip and bunch up when you try to load them. The slick surface of the MEM lower cover completely eliminates that drag. Your operators can thread, center, and pull off garments smoothly, dramatically accelerating hourly production throughput.

How do I properly clean and maintain the platen cover for long-term use?

Because the cover features a premium non-stick, chemical-resistant finish, maintenance is incredibly simple. If stray direct-to-film (DTF) adhesive powder, sublimation gas, or ink drops collect on the surface, simply wipe it down while it is still warm using a non-abrasive damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemical scrapers, as they can scratch the protective coating.

Can I finance my shop's equipment upgrades and accessories through Lawson?

Yes! If you are bundling multiple platen covers and interchangeable plates with a brand-new automatic direct-to-film system, a rolling machine floor stand, or a new dual-station pneumatic press, commercial equipment leasing options are available to protect your cash flow. You can apply quickly and securely via our Lawson financing page.

MEM Lower Platen Cover (Premium Reusable Non-Stick Heat Press Protector)

Are you looking to speed up your garment loading times, eliminate friction, and protect your lower heat press pad from stray inks, scorched threads, and adhesive stains? The MEM Lower Platen Cover is a commercial-grade, industrial-strength workshop accessory engineered specifically to fit MEM heat presses. This USA-distributed, non-stick protective wrap fits snugly around your lower table like a fitted bed sheet, allowing heavy hoodies and custom tees to slide on and off effortlessly while completely shielding your silicone rubber investment.

The primary manufacturing advantage of utilizing an official MEM Lower Platen Cover is the frictionless Threadability™ it brings to your production floor. Rough fabrics often catch, bunch up, or drag on raw silicone rubber pads, slowing down your cycle speeds. This premium wrap features a specialized slick, heat-resistant top layer that allows garments to glide smoothly into position, shaving vital seconds off high-volume runs. Highly optimized for busy custom fulfillment lines executing DTF transfers, screen printed transfers, sublimation blanks, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), and direct-to-garment (DTG) curing, it ensures any hot-melt powder or leaking inks wipe away instantly with a damp cloth rather than staining your machine bed.

Available in standard and specialty sizes to snugly wrap your lower platen assembly, this durable, form-fitting protector is an absolute necessity for extending the lifespan of your workspace hardware.
