The Hotronix® Power Platen is a specialty lower platen designed to heat garments from below, reducing the risk of scorching on heat-sensitive materials like polyester, tri-blends, and performance wear. By minimizing the need for high upper platen temperatures, this innovative platen ensures smooth, high-quality transfers without heat marks.
Equipped with a built-in heat printing pillow, the Power Platen conforms to any substrate, allowing decorators to apply transfers over seams, zippers, buttons, and other difficult areas while ensuring even pressure and heat distribution.
