Roller Presses
Evans Midwest provides a range of roller presses to meet your production needs.
Panel Feeders
Our machine offerings include side load and end load units with or without staging conveyors which give you the ability to fit into many layouts. Side exit options allow you to remove partial loads without interrupting the staged units. The feeders handle various panel sizes being used in a wide range of applications
Panel Cleaners and Glue Machines
Evans Midwest offers glue spreaders to fit many applications. Starting with the entry-level and economical FSC model. This 2-Roll machine will provide an even glue line for PVA applications where a high-solids adhesive is used, and where a less technical machine is appropriate..
Where a more industrial machine is demanded, the GS series of 4-Roll machines offer a more robust approach to supplying adhesive. Fitted with a number of performance accessories, these machines can be outfitted to manage a wide range of adhesive requirements
Layup Tables and Laminate Racks
Evans Midwest builds layup tables for single sheet processing, as well as cold press stacking. The tables can be outfitted with urethane coated rollers, powered conveyance, and buffer zones to assist in production. The standard trolley arm has built-in thin sheet capability, allowing the operator to manage panels as thin as ¼”.
To help with laminate storage at the layup line, Evans Midwest offers several different options for laminate racks, either pneumatic or electric, In an automated system the rack has the built-in capacity to be timed for withdrawal to allow the operator a hands-free approach to laying up the laminate.
Panel Stackers
The automatic width adjustment makes for easy change over between unit sizes and allows for small adjustments of width variances. The stacker can be configured to offload out the side or off the end of the platform. Powered rollers assist in moving the material onto the staging conveyor.
Countertop Core Building Machines
Evans Midwest Corfab machines are used in the preparation of the countertop core, starting with a raw particle board panel, and ending in a machined countertop core ready for laminating.
The system includes a Nordson® Hot Melt Applicator sized to production requirements. Corfab models can be configured with pneumatic and electronic positioning units to minimize set up time.
Countertop Gluing Systems
The Evans Midwest Corfab machines are double-sided, entry-level to high-production kitchen countertop machining centers. They are custom engineered to meet your specific requirements. Our intelligent design automatically feeds and glues pre-cut solid wood, particleboard, MDF or composite build-down, scribe and/or no-drip sticks to the panel in a continuous operation.
Postforming Machines
The Evans Midwest family of postforming machines is the largest in the world with over twelve (12) models to choose from. Static, automatic and feed-through models are available. The Standard Form SF 2000 is the lower-volume model of this machine.
Backsplash Coving Machines
The Evans Midwest family of AutoCove™ machines is uniquely designed to postform the inside radius of a kitchen countertop or vanity top with a coved backsplash, in high volume production environments. The key to producing a quality backsplash is a rigid frame and rear fence, uniform contact of the countertop to the heating element, and a concentric forming bar to prevent stretching. The AutoCove™ Coving machine is designed to meet these specific objectives. Evans Midwest machines have been used extensively in the kitchen countertop industries for over 50 years. We help you laminate better, increase productivity, and improve quality.
Postforming Machines
The CS XL Cutting Station is our most popular saw and is designed for fabricating a wide variety of kitchen countertop and vanity sizes. The CS XL has an overall cutting length of 53.5 inches (1360 mm) at 90° angle of cut, and 37.5 inches (950 mm) at 45° angle of cut. Maximum backsplash height is 4.875 inches (124 mm) from bottom of deck.
The CS XLT Cutting Station is the same size as the CS XL with an increased cutting height using a 20 inch (508 mm) diameter saw blade. This reduces the overall cutting length to 50 inches (1290 mm) at 90° angle of cuts, and 36 inches (915 mm) at 45° angle of cut, but increases the maximum backsplash height to 6.875 inches (172 mm) from bottom of deck.
SIP Single Panel Processing
Evans Midwest provides a SIP laminating system for a variety of applications with our traversing gantry for single panels. We do this with our BE 418T Standard SIP Laminating System with Traversing Gantry for Single Panels.
The VP 418C Vacuum Press with clam shell opening operates up to 14.6 PSI to hold the panel under pressure while adhesive cures. The design incorporates a counter-weight for ease of operation.
Stacked Panel SIP Machines
The Evans Midwest Stacked Panel SIP systems includes a range of features, bulk adhesive stand with day barrel, Zenith® pump and controls, heated hoses, and desiccant column, BE 412TS traversing gantry with automatic vertical adjustment for stacked panel production, Eco-Track® or Acu-Track® dispensing head options.

Slitter
The 5010 Laminate Slitter is the ideal machine for cutting high pressure laminate or wood veneer. This machine has been proven to reduce labor costs and increase production while providing a premium quality edge. The unit is equipped with an adjustable self aligning fence that is mounted on a linear guide and can adjust in 1/32” increments up to 6”. Optional machines include the 5031 – Floor Standing Machine with 31″ Capacity and the 5048 – Floor Standing Machine with 48″ Capacity.
T-Edge Machine
The 1050 T-Edge Applicator is perfect for the complete application of plastic t-molding. It produces a smooth contoured edge on desk tops, counter tops, doors, drawer fronts, and other work surfaces. Plastic t-molding is applied by a variable speed electric hammer that assures ideal seating of the t-molding. This machine reduces operator fatigue while maintaining product consistency.
The 7100 Laminate Roller machine not only rolls your laminate but it also helps you tape or tie the roll and, with our optional tilt takeaway conveyor (7110), gently lowers your heavy roll to the floor. This automated roller takes care to gently wrap the laminate into two different roll diameters for shipping. No more struggling to wrap by hand!
Used for rolling sheets of high-pressure laminate, for packaging or storage. Ideal for Laminate Distribution facilities, where multiple orders per day need to be rolled and boxed for shipment. This device helps to eliminate the labor and mistakes from the process. It easily handles multiple sheet rolls, taking away the awkward motion of preparing them for bundling.
Vacuum Stand
Evans Midwest offers the Edge-Worker Vacuum Stand to hold down wood and even non-porous substrates so that the operator can work effectively and efficiently. It differentiates itself from competitors in the market by size and power; the 12-inch diameter suction cup is larger than other work stands, and the suction force generated through all of the parts is significantly greater than the next best product.
In addition, we offer a detachable stability ring which is a substitute for additional suction stands (see Schmaltz models) and our machine hooks up with existing air supply. The steel stand and base, with bolt holes for floor anchoring, add sturdy support superior to alternatives in the market.
his new Evans machine is perfect for building and handling large panels and table tops. The caster mounted machine allows you to easily pick up, flip over, and spin tops up to 12’ long and 5’ wide.
This machine is perfect for finishing work, loading parts on to conveyors, or placing them in final packaging. It takes the stress out of handling your big tops and ensures that your employees are safe in the process.
2480 Over Arm Router
The 2480 Over Arm Router is a compact heavy duty system for quickly cutting sink holes in countertops. The high-frequency router is rated for continuous use and cutting solid core countertops. This machine features a dual pivot joint allowing the operator to simply follow the guide template in virtually any pattern. This reduces operator fatigue while maintaining product consistency and accuracy.
The 2480 includes a pneumatically operated clamping mechanism for securing the countertop and template throughout the cutting process.
