Rebuilt Astex 243

Pocket Flap Press Fusing Machine

Elements of the Astex Flap pressing include:

  • Shaping - The die spreads to shape the flap perfectly before pressing.

  • Breading - Producing a perfect edge on the flap with absolutely no lining showing.
  • Pressing - Giving a permanent, clean, sharp crease which eliminates repressing.
  • Fusing - A flap can be fused at the same time if needed.
  • Dies- Can be changed quickly and easily.

Astex #243: Flap Press Fusing M achine

Astex 243 - standard for suit manufacturers

 

Pocket Flap Press/Fusing Machine

The Pocket Flap Press #243 remains a standard for suit manufacturers because of its ability to perfectly press and fuse flaps consistently.

Timed steam and vacuum press two flaps simultaneously after expanding dies have retracted, eliminating any possibility of shine. Production is enhanced as loading takes place during the pressing cycle and automatic off-loading returns finished flaps to the operator. Collapsing dies are custom made for coat flaps to ensure an even crease parallel to the seam.
