OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
for the heat press
MEM TQ-4050
Congratulations on purchasing a MEM heat press!
Please read these operating instructions carefully so you can start production with your press
without problems. Reproduction of these operating instructions in any form requires the written
approval of MEM. We reserve all rights to change technical data and product features.

Brief overview
MEM TQ-4050 pneumatic double station heat press
The design of the MEM double station presses combines a heavy-duty solid industrial grade pressing
framework with high quality electric components. This provides the operator with the best possible
features and equipment needed for today's various heat transfer applications.
Using the MEM TQ-4050 double station heat press, all common hot transfer processes (flock,
flex, sublimation, transfer, Inkjet-flex etc.) can be conducted professionally and with
highest productivity. The desired settings can be set easily with the temperature controller. The
pneumatic pressure can be regulated smoothly with the air reducing valve. With the restriction valve on
the solenoid valve, the press and lift speed could be adjusted.
Short overview MEM TQ-4050 heat press
Pneumatic double station transfer press for medium and large batches.
Pressure balancing system on heat plate and bottom plate.
Operates in semi-automatic or manual modes.
Adjustable air pressure by air reducing valve with water separator.
Two-hand operation for safety use.
CE certificated and RoHS certificated.
Lifetime factory on-line service.
Safety Precautions
Please read these instructions and safety precautions carefully before using your press for the first
time!
Never reach into the heat press with your hands when it is connected to the power supply,
particularly when it is switched on and heated up – danger of severe burns!
Do not open the cover or attempt to modify the machine yourself without instruction.
In case you are requested by the MEM customer support to open the heating plate cover,
please make sure you are wearing respiratory protection and only touch the contained
insulation wool with gloves. Any disposal of the wool must be contained in a closed bag.
Ensure that liquids and metal objects do not get into the inside of the heat press.
Ensure that the power socket used is grounded. Note that it is only permissible to operate a
heat press from a power socket protected by a ground fault protection switch.
Disconnect machine from power outlet when not in use!
Never operate the heat press within the reach of children and never leave the machine
unsupervised when switched on.
Ensure that the machine is used only in dry rooms.
Pay attention that the used compressor is attuned to the air consumption and the pressure
If you cannot observe one or more of the safety precautions above, or if you are not sure
whether all points are satisfied, please contact our Technical Support Department.

Controller
With the temperature controller, temperature (°C and °F) and pressing time can be adjusted. The Set
Value are showing the setting value, the Temperature digits are showing the actual value. Counter
(reset after power off) function that counts the number of transfers that have already been made
during the current session could be enabled, contact MEM for counter function enable instruction.
Press and hold SET button to enter parameter setting interface, press and hold SET
button to exit parameter setting interface.
Press down key to decrease the corresponding parameter value.
Press up key to increase the corresponding parameter value.
Press and hold up key to start self-tuning (℃ or ℉on the panel blinks.) Once the
machine begins self-tuning, do not unplug or press any key until the self-tuning is
done (℃ or ℉ stop blinking). Before apply self-tuning, set temperature to normal
working temperature and let the heat plate cool down to room temperature. Apply
self-tuning when the machine could not control temperature properly. Self-tuning will
change PID parameter automatically.
Do not change parameters except Pb and SL2 without our instruction.
Parameter code Function
Pb Temperature calibration: If measured temperature 1℃ or 1℉ lower than the
showing temperature, decrease the value 1.
SL2 0: Celsius (℃)
1: Fahrenheit (℉)
Operation
Pneumatic connection
TQ-4050 requires air compressor with minimum 800w (1 hp) and 30L (8 gallon) hold tank.
Connect 5mm inner diameter (usually 8mm outer diameter) air hose to the machine.
Charge the compressor to 0.6-0.7 Mpa, up to 0.8 Mpa (120 psi) if possible.
Set the desired pneumatic pressure on the air reducing valve of the heat press by pulling up
the cap at the top end and then turning it. After the pressure is set, push the cap back down.
The set pressure should be lower than on the manometer of the compressor. Commonly used
pressures are between 0.4 to 0.6 Mpa (60 to 90 psi).
Power supply
Connect the heat press to a power socket using the connection cable supplied.
Switch on the press with the red power switch.
Operating transfers
Set the desired pneumatic pressure on the air reducing valve of the heat press by pulling up
the cap at the top end and then turning it. After the pressure is set, push the cap back down.
Bring the press head into an end position right or left.
Manual mode: Shuttle the upper platen over the garment and design. Press both Press
Buttons located on the side of the head to press.
Semi-auto mode: The heat plate will press automatically when the head reaches either end.
After the timer count to zero, the heat plate lifts automatically.
By pressing the red emergency stop button, transfer process can be stopped at any time.
Operation of solenoid valve
On the side of the solenoid valve there are two silver/golden screws which restricting the air
flow speed of the cylinder.
If the screws are screwed out, it accelerates up/down process of the cylinder.
When the screws are screwed in, it slows down up/down process of the cylinder
Fix the respective setting with the corresponding counter nuts by tightening them by hand.
Maintenance and cleaning
Maintenance work should always be accomplished with the press switched off and cooled down.
The plug must first be disconnected from the power socket. Consult Technical Support before
carrying out any maintenance work.
Clean the press regularly with a soft cloth and mild household cleaner to remove adhesive residues
etc.
