Schulze heatable base platen for heat press

Description

Schulze heat presses are known for their precision and reliability. They meet the demands of professional textile decorators working with DTF, DTG and sublimation printing. To further enhance production quality, Schulze offers a dedicated accessory designed for maximum optimisation: the Schulze heatable base platen for heat press.

Essential accessory for professional heat presses

The heatable base platen for heat press provides heat from the base. It ensures consistent thermal distribution and reduces the risk of marks on sensitive fabrics. It is engineered to optimise transfer quality and improve production repeatability.

Available versions of the heated lower platen

Available in five different sizes, each one tailored to its specific application. Please check compatibility with your Schulze DTF press:

• 40 × 50 cm — ideal for thick garments such as hoodies and zipped sweatshirts.
• 28 × 38 cm — versatile format for standard garments, women’s and children’s sizes.
• 20 × 20 cm — perfect for small areas and DTF logo transfers.
• Heated platen for cap base 8 × 16 cm — for 8 × 16 cm Schulze cap presses.
• Heated platen for cap press 10 × 13 cm — compatible exclusively with Patch Press and Blue Press.

Compatibility with Schulze presses

These heated platens are compatible with major Schulze ranges equipped with a quick-change system:

• Schulze cap presses (8 × 16 cm).
• Patch Press and Blue Press (10 × 13 cm heated platen only).

Improve DTF transfer application quality

The textile market is constantly evolving, and fabric compositions are increasingly diverse. Many materials are sensitive to pressure and heat. Standard platens can sometimes leave unwanted marks.

To prevent these issues, Schulze developed the heated lower platen. These platens are essential for transfers on polyester, particularly for sports jerseys, training tops and shorts.

Benefits for professionals

Reduced marking — bottom heating avoids pressure marks on delicate fabrics.

Consistent heating — even temperature distribution ensures mark-free transfers.

Higher productivity — stable temperature during production runs improves repeatability.

Versatility — multiple sizes for T-shirts, accessories, caps and patches.

Recommended applications

• DTF — improved adhesion and fusion.
• Sublimation — ideal for polyester and technical textiles.
• DTG — clean pre-pressing without marks.
• Flex / Flock — optimal bonding on lightweight fabrics.
• Caps and patches — precise control on curved and small areas.

Usage tips

• Test settings before each production run.
• Use a protective sheet or Teflon if needed.
• Allow the platen to cool before changing sizes.
• Check electrical requirements (up to 2.3 kW).
