Heat Press Machine - HYDRO1620 - Hydraulic Head Moving
Supported by Pressly
Engineered for long-term performance
High volume garment decoration demands a true high production heat press — and The Heat Press Machine — HYDRO1620 is engineered for exactly that. Unlike manual or pneumatic presses, a hydraulic head provides immense, consistent pressure with minimal physical effort from the operator. This model features a 16×20 inch platen, which is the industry standard for full-sized apparel and large-format transfers. Designed for modern production environments, the HYDRO1620 combines industrial strength with ergonomic workflow optimization.
The defining feature of the HYDRO1620 is its hydraulic drive system, which eliminates the need for an external air compressor. Traditional pneumatic presses are loud and require expensive infrastructure, but the HYDRO1620 is self-contained and significantly quieter.
The hydraulic cylinders provide pressure that is both higher and more uniform than manual "clamshell" or "swing-away" designs. This consistent force is essential for complex transfers like DTF or high-density screen print transfers. Uniform pressure ensures that every inch of the design bonds perfectly to the fabric, even on thick seams or pockets.
"Hydraulic technology represents the peak of industrial reliability in the modern print shop."
A "Moving Head" or draw-style design offers a massive safety and workflow advantage over traditional presses. The heat platen moves away from the work area, allowing you to align your garments without the risk of burning your hands. This open-access workspace is critical for precision placement, especially when dealing with multi-layered designs or intricate logos.
It provides a clear view of the entire 16×20 inch area, ensuring nothing is misaligned before the press begins. The sliding mechanism is engineered for smoothness, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts.
"Ergonomic focus translates directly into higher productivity and fewer ruined garments."
Successful heat transfer relies on three variables: temperature, time, and pressure. The HYDRO1620 features a state-of-the-art digital controller that manages these factors with extreme accuracy. The heating element distributes warmth evenly across the entire surface, preventing "cold spots" that cause prints to peel.
Set the exact temperature for different materials — from sensitive synthetics to heavy cotton canvases. Once the cycle is complete, the hydraulic head releases automatically, preventing over-exposure to heat. This digital control allows a shop to produce retail-quality results consistently across thousands of units.
"Retail-quality results — consistently, across thousands of units."
The HYDRO1620 is not a hobbyist tool — it is a heavy duty workhorse built for continuous industrial use. The frame is constructed from high-grade steel to withstand the immense forces generated by the hydraulic system. Every component, from the heating coil to the hydraulic seals, is rated for thousands of cycles without failure.
This durability makes it the ideal choice for businesses that operate 24/7 or handle large corporate orders. Investing in industrial-grade hardware like the HYDRO1620 minimizes downtime and maximizes your return on investment.
"Minimizes downtime. Maximizes ROI. Built for 24/7 operation."

⚠️ IMPORTANT: If damage is not clearly indicated on the Proof of Delivery (POD) at the time of receipt, we will not be able to file a claim with the carrier. This will result in no compensation or replacement. Your compliance with this process is essential.
Setup: Place the Pressly HYDRO1620 on a stable surface, ensuring proper power connection based on the power specifications. Before first use, fill the hydraulic system with the recommended hydraulic oil and quantity. Add 5 gallons of AW-46 hydraulic oil.
Temperature & Pressure Settings: Set the temperature and hydraulic pressure settings according to the material being used.
Design Alignment: Attach the magnet laser light guides to the top of the heat press to assist in precise alignment of designs.
Pressing: Place the garment or media on the platen, apply the correct pressure, and apply heat according to the required time and temperature settings.
Maintenance: Regularly check and clean the platen and hydraulic system to ensure smooth operation and prolong the life of the heat press. Check the hydraulic oil level regularly using the sight gauge located at the bottom right of your heat press. If the level is below the 50% of the glass, top it up. Be sure to change all the oil once a year, and always use the recommended AW-46 hydraulic oil for optimal performance.
