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 - 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.
