Geo Knight MAXI Press Air Automatic Large Format Heat Press - MAXI-3242AP
The Geo Knight MAXI PRESS AIR is the next step up from the Manual version. This automatic press provides massive amounts of pressure due to its dual air-bag, 10-ton/20,000 lbs max force pneumatic pressing system. The heavy steel triple reinforced welded C-Frame design is built to withstand a lifetime of intense pressing and automatic operation. It also allows for full draping of materials over the front, left and right sides of the press, without, hindrance. The electronic digital temperature control maintains even heat across the entire surface of the heater. In addition, the timer automatically starts when the press is activated and automatically releases the press when elapsed. For a large format heavy pressure automatic press that is one step below the larger industrial 931 Triton machines, the MAXI PRESS AIR is the solution.
