Description

APEX X Series Automatic Transfer System

Built for high-volume DTF and heat transfer production, the APEX X Series is designed to deliver faster output, greater consistency, and lower labor dependence in demanding production environments.

With the ability to process up to 420 garments per hour with minimal labor, the APEX X Series Automatic Transfer System helps standardize heat transfer application through automated pressing, controlled settings, and precise pallet movement. Available in configurations with 1 to 4 heat press stations on a 4 - 8 pallet platform, it is engineered for efficient, repeatable production at scale.

A 10.4" machine-mounted touchscreen interface gives operators clear and convenient control over system functions and production settings. Built with heavy-duty steel and premium-grade components, the APEX X Series is made for continuous industrial use where durability and reliability are essential.

1. Installation and training fee: USD 3,890.

2. Product prices do not include shipping. Please contact us to confirm the shipping cost.

Stable pallet arms provide the support needed for accurate garment positioning and consistent print quality. The system also helps operators align garments and cut pieces more precisely, reducing handling errors and speeding up pallet changeover during production.

Designed for decorators and manufacturers who need higher output, more repeatable results, and more efficient workflow, the APEX X Series brings industrial-level automation to modern heat transfer production.

Buying automation equipment

What power and air requirements do I need?

Check the Specifications table on this page for voltage, amps, watts, and CFM (if pneumatic). When in doubt, book a call. We will confirm shop electrical and compressor capacity before you order.

How is shipping handled for a machine this size?

Heat presses ship via commercial freight. Dimensions and shipping weight are listed in Specifications. You will receive tracking and delivery coordination for dock or residential delivery as applicable.

What if I am not sure this is the right machine?

Use the ROI calculator above, compare platen size and production capacity, or schedule a free consult. Our team will map volume, garment mix, and budget to VECTOR / TITAN / ATLAS / APEX lines.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing options are available for qualifying orders. See our financing page or ask during checkout or consult.

What support do I get after purchase?

US-based support can help with setup questions, parts, and troubleshooting. Keep your order number handy when you contact us.

What happens if it goes down mid-run?

US-based support helps you triage fast, and parts ship from the US. For production-critical lines, ask your specialist about spare-parts kits and response options before you buy.

My volume doesn’t justify automation yet. What should I do?

Then don’t buy it yet. A Titan or ATLAS press may fit today’s volume, and the upgrade path is real. See the lineup below or take the 2-minute finder quiz.

Can I see it run before I buy?

Yes. That’s the point. Book a live production demo at our Orange, CA showroom or a virtual walkthrough, and we’ll run your artwork and transfers on the machine.
