    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.

    Its digitally controlled heat press stations do more than apply transfers. They also help flatten garment fibers and introduce residual heat that can improve downstream processes such as pretreat application and white ink flash efficiency.

    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.

    Key Features

    8-Station Continuous Workflow

    Multiple loading and unloading positions help keep operators moving efficiently while reducing downtime between cycles.

    4-Head Configuration

    Equipped with 3 heating platens and 1 cooling platen, the system supports continuous pressing and controlled cooling for faster downstream handling.

    Water-Cooled Cooling Platen

    Designed to cool transfers from approximately 212°F to 104–140°F in about 8 seconds, depending on production conditions, material type, and transfer settings. This helps reduce sticking and makes handling easier after pressing.

    High-Speed Pressing Performance

    Supports press times of approximately 4–8 seconds at 302–311°F, making it well-suited for high-volume DTF transfer production.

    High Production Capacity

    Capable of reaching approximately 350–400 transfers per hour, depending on operator workflow, transfer size, material type, and production setup.

    Premium Aluminum Heating Platens

    Durable aluminum platens help provide consistent heat distribution during extended production runs.

    10" PLC Touchscreen Control System

    User-friendly touchscreen interface with parameter memory for faster job setup, repeat orders, and easier daily operation.

    Infrared Alignment Assist

    Helps improve transfer placement accuracy and reduce misalignment during production.

    Industrial Water-Cooling System

    Built to support stable cooling performance during continuous operation.

    Lifetime technical support from Microtec USA.
    Two-Year Limited Warranty on the machine
    Five-Year Limited Warranty on fusion and weld structures
    Five-Year Limited Warranty on the heating platen
