Pneumatic heat presses

High-throughput workshops cannot afford variation in their pressing results. In the world of heat transfer & heat presses, pneumatic heat presses are the benchmark solution for consistent pressure, repeatability, and productivity. Schulze is a German brand, manufactured in Europe, recognised for the industrial reliability of its equipment.

Our range covers the needs of DTF, sublimation, and intensive garment decoration workshops. Manutech-Print is an authorised Schulze distributor in France.

Why choose a pneumatic heat press?

A pneumatic heat press runs on compressed air. It delivers consistent, even pressure on every cycle, without any physical effort from the operator. Where an electric press suits regular production runs, a pneumatic press is the answer for high throughput and demanding substrates. Every press cycle is identical to the last — it is that repeatability that secures quality in intensive production. A pneumatic press requires an external compressor. In return, it delivers a pressing force that neither a manual nor an electric press can match.

The Schulze pneumatic range

Schulze offers four professional pneumatic heat press models, each designed for a specific level of production. From growing workshops to intensive continuous production, the range covers all DTF transfer, sublimation, and garment decoration needs. Every model features the quick-release QR platen system and benefits from Schulze's industrial reliability.

Air Duo Press QR

The Air Duo Press QR is the dual-platen pneumatic press for growing workshops. The QR system allows platens to be swapped in seconds, without tools. Automatic platen opening at the end of each cycle. Compatible with DTF transfers, sublimation, and DTG pre-treatment.

Air Power Automatic

The Air Power Automatic is fully automatic with a dual-station setup. Opening, closing, cycle : everything is motorised. A 5-inch touchscreen controls all parameters with precision. Designed for continuous production and multi-operator workshops.

Air 4 Press

The Air 4 Press features 4 rotating platens. While one garment is being pressed, three others are being prepared. Industrial throughput, zero downtime. The reference press for high-volume DTF transfer production.

Big Lite 70x100 cm

The Big Lite handles large-format substrates up to 70x100 cm. XXL garments, rigid sublimation substrates: aluminium, wood, ceramic. Even pressure across the entire platen surface, even at large format.

Warranty & durability

Investing in a Schulze heat press means choosing equipment built to last. Schulze pneumatic heat presses carry a 2-year warranty. On selected models, the heating element is covered by a 12-year warranty. Spare parts remain available for many years after purchase. Electronic control boards, temperature probes, heating elements, everything is accessible from our heat press spare parts catalogue. A breakdown does not mean replacing the machine.

Which pneumatic heat press should I choose?

The right choice depends on your production volume and desired level of automation. For growing workshops with frequent substrate changes, the Air Duo Press QR with its QR system is the most versatile solution. For uninterrupted continuous production, the Air Power Automatic is the natural choice. For industrial DTF throughput, the Air 4 Press with its 4 rotating platens is the reference. For large formats and sublimation on rigid substrates, the Big Lite 70x100 cm stands alone.

Just starting out in garment decoration? Manual heat presses are the natural starting point. Looking for a compressor-free solution? Electric heat presses meet that need. For personalising mugs and objects, explore our mug press range. To complete your setup, our sublimation range and press accessories cover all your needs. For industrial throughput, multi-platen solutions such as the ROQ are also available in our catalogue.
