Coldesi’s AP360 Automatic DTF Heat Press supports speeds exceeding 350 garments per hour<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n

TAMPA | Florida – September 2026 –<\/strong>\u00a0ColDesi today announced the launch of the AP360, a 6-Station Automatic DTF Heat\u00a0Press<\/span>\u00a0engineered to help apparel decorators, contract printers, and fulfillment companies scale production without scaling labor. The AP360 will make its debut showing at Printing United Expo, September 23-25, in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

For many apparel decorators, the bottleneck isn’t printing transfers \u2014 it’s applying them. Traditional manual heat presses require operators to load garments, position transfers,\u00a0press<\/span>, peel the film, finish, and unload \u2014 and as order volume grows, so do labor costs. The AP360 turns heat pressing into a continuous production process.<\/p>\n

“For businesses producing hundreds or thousands of garments per day, the AP360 creates a continuous load-to-unload workflow that cuts bottlenecks and keeps production moving,” said Marc Vila<\/strong>, Director of Business Development and Marketing, ColDesi.<\/p>\n

A Fully Automated Workflow<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AP360’s six-station carousel processes multiple garments simultaneously: garments are loaded, transfers are aligned and applied via a primary pneumatic\u00a0press<\/span>, film is automatically peeled, a secondary\u00a0press<\/span>\u00a0finishes adhesion and durability, and finished garments are unloaded \u2014 all in one continuous cycle, supporting speeds exceeding 350 garments per hour.<\/p>\n

For businesses producing large apparel orders, the AP360 can nearly double output while reducing labor dependency \u2014 cutting payroll costs, training time, and production bottlenecks for fulfillment operations and contract decorators alike.<\/p>\n

Built for Commercial Production<\/strong><\/p>\n

The AP360 features dual 16″ x 20″ industrial pneumatic heat presses with thick cast aluminum heat plates for even heat distribution, precision pneumatic pressure and speed controls, and a PLC touchscreen interface offering fully automatic, semi-automatic, and manual modes. The system is CE-certified, backed by a 2-year warranty, and includes on-site installation and training.<\/p>\n
