Heatware™ Heat Press Machines, Multifunction Heat Press & Roller Heat Press Machines
Source: https://heatware.co.za
In one paragraph
heatware.co.za is the brand site for HEATWARE™, the heat press range that AM.CO.ZA (Advanced Machinery (Pty) Ltd) has sold since 2017. Its homepage explains which kind of press suits a hobbyist, a small business or a high-volume shop, and its 15 blog posts (2022 to 2024) explain the range, sizes and where to buy. The WooCommerce shop behind it holds 970 published products, but only 81 of them are heat press products. The other 889 are a copy of the general AM catalog (printers, lasers, vinyl cutters, spares and so on). Of the 81 heat press products, 80 are still on Buythis today and one is retired. So treat heatware.co.za as a brand explainer and a partial, older snapshot of the HEATWARE range, not as the live catalog. Current models, specifications and prices come from Buythis and the 8i product pages linked below.
What AI and staff should do with this site
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is this the catalog to quote from? | No. Quote Buythis (always cite the link with #ai) and the 8i product pages. The heatware.co.za shop has not had a product edit since 28 September 2025 and is missing newer models (see "Newer HEATWARE products the site does not list"). |
| Which press should a customer start with? | Follow the homepage's three buyer levels: hobby and side-business users start with the Hobby range or a portable press; small and medium businesses pick single-function or Multitalent multi-function presses; high-volume shops use twin-station flat presses or roller (drum) presses paired with a large format sublimation printer. The size guide post explains the press types, but its dimension lines were never filled in (they still read "[Insert dimensions here]"), so take sizes from the product pages. |
| Price? | The site gives no reliable current price. Use the Buythis link for the SKU. |
| Stock? | Never from this site. Staff check the live stock feed. |
| Safety approval? | The homepage says HEATWARE presses passed the SABS SANS 60335 appliance safety standard (AM's 2018 post). |
| Spares and repairs? | Controllers, heating pads, motherboards, sensors and roller parts are listed below and on Buythis. Exception: the Heatware Hobby range has no stocked spare parts, its warranty covers the main electronic components only (pads and holders are not covered), and Hobby units are not repaired after warranty (AM policy note). Manuals and controller documents are indexed in the Heatware firmware and software index (there is no firmware to download). |
| How-to videos? | See Heatware how-to videos and heat press how-tos, plus the video table further down. |
| Contact? | Use AM's current routes as given on heatpress-site: sales on 060 600 6000 and support on WhatsApp 060 600 7000. |
| Not to confuse with | heatpress.co.za (the industrial HEATWARE site, heatpress-site), heatpresses.co.za (a one-page hobby signpost with an empty shop, heatpresses-site) and heat-press.co.za (first-press site for small businesses, company extract). Also do not treat the 889 non-heat products in this shop as HEATWARE products; they are AM catalog items under their own brands. |
The HEATWARE heat press products listed on heatware.co.za
These are the 81 products in the shop's heat press categories (Single-Function Heat Presses, Multi-Function Heat Presses, Roller Heat Presses, Heat Press Accessories, Heat Press Consumables, and the heat press Electronic Components category).

The rest of the shop: a copy of the AM catalog
889 of the 970 published products are not heat press products. They were copied from AM's main catalog, which is why the shop's product creation dates start in August 2020, before this site's pages were built in January 2022. 792 of them are on Buythis today and the remaining 97 are indexed on heatware-unique-skus (mostly older TruCUT laser variants and parts; not a current catalog). 179 carry the generic AM.CO.ZA category. The biggest other categories are:
| WP category | Products |
|---|---|
Large Format Printers (large-format-printers) |
59 |
DTF Printers (dtf-printers) |

Site pages and posts
The homepage (WP page cheap-multifunction-heat-press, published 21 January 2022, last edited 13 May 2022) carries the "Turn the heat up and the costs down" message, the three buyer levels, the SABS badge, the four press categories (portable, single-function, multi-function, high volume and roller) and a YouTube playlist. The features, news and shop pages are empty WordPress shells.

FAQ
Is HEATWARE a separate company? No. HEATWARE is AM.CO.ZA's own heat press brand, sold by Advanced Machinery (Pty) Ltd through Buythis and AM.
Why does heatware.co.za sell lasers and printers? Its shop was filled with a copy of the whole AM catalog. Only the heat press categories are HEATWARE products.
Which flat press sizes does HEATWARE offer? The flat platens in the range are 290×380 mm (Hobby and standard Multitalent), 380×380 mm (clamshell presses and the E Multitalent models), 400×500 mm (H-PRESS/4050), 400×600 mm (swing-away and twin-station) and 600×800 mm (H-PRESS/6080D twin-station). Pick the platen that covers the largest print the customer does regularly. AM's own note says the 1400 W H-PRESS/4050 replaced the weaker older 400×600 mm class (policy note). Do not quote the size guide post for dimensions; it has placeholders.
Single-function or Multitalent? A single-function press is faster for one repeated job. A Multitalent press lets a small shop do shirts, mugs, plates and caps on one machine by swapping attachments.
When is a roller press the right choice? When printing sublimation onto rolls of polyester fabric, flags, banners, lanyards or towels, usually paired with a large format sublimation printer.
