NovaLift Technology
The innovative NovaLift system redefines how pressure is applied. By lifting upward into the heating element, the ASTRA X2 works with gravity to create a balanced, controlled pressing motion. The result is smoother operation, improved consistency, and a more stable pressing experience.
Built for Speed
Serious Production
Whether you're transitioning from a startup setup or scaling into full production, the ASTRA X2 is engineered to grow with your business. It increases presses per hour, reduces cycle downtime, and turns production time into measurable profit.
Perfect for DTF Transfers
The ASTRA X2 is engineered for continuous workflow. Its dual-platen layout eliminates idle time by allowing operators to load one platen while the other presses. The result is higher throughput, faster order completion, and production efficiency built for growing shops.
Powered by a pneumatic pressure system, the ASTRA X2 delivers consistent, repeatable pressure across every press cycle. This ensures clean transfers, reliable adhesion, and professional results at scale without operator fatigue.

Built to Last
In the case of heat transfer presses, HIX warrants the heat casting for the life of the machine for the original end-user purchaser, provided the equipment has been operated and maintained in accordance with the HIX operator manual. If a part becomes obsolete at the time of repair and/or cannot
be reasonably substituted for, HIX will credit, at half the then-current list price or last recorded price, only that part toward a new machine or any product HIX offers
