Hot Stamping Machine 240
Industrial laminating, cutting and winding machines » License Plate
Unlike the HP120, the Hot Stamping Machine 240 is equipped with a transport belt, featuring an automatic plate transport system, making it ideal for integration into automated systems. Its wider design allows for processing two plates simultaneously. The 240 stands out with its advanced temperature control system, which features individually adjustable heating elements for consistent roller temperatures, ensuring uniform heat distribution throughout the plates.
Automated hot stamping for higher volumes
The Crest Hot Stamping Machine 240 is the automated big brother of the HSM 120. Equipped with a transport belt, it moves embossed license plates through the stamping station automatically, making it the right choice for producers running higher volumes.

How the HSM 240 works
Plates are placed on the transport belt, which carries them through the heated stamping station at a constant pace. Temperature, pressure and belt speed are precisely controlled, delivering consistent character contrast plate after plate, with minimal operator involvement.
Key benefits
- Transport belt for continuous, automated stamping
- Higher throughput than manual feeding
- Precise control of temperature, pressure and speed
- Integrates into automated Crest license plate lines
Frequently asked questions
When should I choose the HSM 240 over the HSM 120?
Choose the 240 when volumes grow and manual feeding becomes the bottleneck. The transport belt keeps production flowing with one operator overseeing the process.
Can the belt speed be adjusted?
Yes. Belt speed is set together with temperature and pressure to match your plate type and foil.
Is the HSM 240 available as part of a complete line?
Yes. Crest supplies it stand-alone or as a station in a complete license plate production line.
