The HEATWAVE Vanguard is a professional, fully automatic dual-station DTF heat press designed for demanding production environments. Built for speed, consistency, and long-term durability, Vanguard is ideal for print shops running Direct to Film (DTF) transfers, screen-printed transfers, and heat-applied graphics at scale. Every detail of the machine is engineered to support high-output workflows while maintaining consistent, repeatable results.
At the core of the Vanguard is its dual-station design with automatic side-to-side movement, allowing one pallet to press while the other is being loaded. This continuous workflow dramatically increases throughput and minimizes idle time, making it well-suited for busy DTF production schedules. Programmable time settings provide precise control over press cycles, ensuring consistent application across every transfer and garment.
The Vanguard features hands-free foot pedal operation, giving operators greater control during placement and reducing fatigue during long production runs. Its all-electric design eliminates the need for an air compressor, simplifying installation while delivering stable, reliable performance. Power is supplied via a 240V input, providing consistent heating and pressure required for proper DTF adhesive bonding.
A heavy-duty, height-adjustable rolling stand is included, allowing the press to be set at a comfortable working height and easily repositioned within the shop. The robust construction and industrial-grade components are designed for daily commercial use, making the Vanguard a dependable centerpiece for growing DTF operations.
