HIx production-grade dual-platen design keeps DTF shops moving without sacrificing transfer quality
PITTSBURG | Kansas – August 2026 – HIX has launched the Astra X2, a dual-platen pneumatic heat press engineered for high-volume DTF transfer production. The Astra X2 helps growing shops move beyond entry-level equipment into consistent, scalable output.
Dual-Platen Workflow
While one platen presses a transfer, operators load the next garment on the other — cutting idle time between cycles and keeping production moving.
Consistent Pneumatic Pressure
A pneumatic pressure system delivers repeatable pressure on every press, producing clean transfers and strong adhesion across large production runs, without the fatigue of manual presses.
Built for Commercial Use
The Astra X2 is built for daily use in commercial environments, with production-grade components designed to hold stable performance shift after shift.
