This Rocky Rose is an industrial rotary press machine designed for the application of rhinestones, studs, and other thermoadhesive materials onto tights and socks — sometimes referred to as a hot-fix press or thermoadhesive application machine in the garment decoration trade.
The machine is built around a rotary carousel configuration with six independently operating stations, each equipped with its own individual temperature regulation for its forming shape. This station-by-station thermal control allows operators to fine-tune pressing conditions precisely, which is particularly important when working with delicate hosiery fabrics where inconsistent heat can cause surface damage. The pressing and tamping cycle has been engineered specifically to achieve clean, mark-free application of rhinestones and decorative studs without leaving polish or compression marks on tights or socks — a common challenge with standard flatbed presses used for similar work.
Production capacity is described as very high, and the layout is optimised for two-operator use, allowing continuous feeding and unloading to maximise throughput during high-volume runs. The machine was reportedly built as a unique, purpose-made model, specially constructed to handle large production peaks rather than as a standard catalogue item.
Control is handled through an integrated PC-based software system, with all parameters adjustable through this interface. The machine also incorporates dedicated safety devices for operator protection. Built in 2015, it is located in Italy and is reported to be in perfect working order, described by the seller as like new. The manufacturer has indicated that future revisions and technical support remain available.
