Roller Presses

Evans Midwest roller presses are a core component in flat-panel laminating systems, delivering consistent pressure to bond overlays, laminates, films, and other materials to a wide range of substrates. Often referred to as pinch rollers or nip rollers, these machines are used in both cold laminating operations and heated applications where accelerated bonding is required.

Evans Midwest offers a broad range of roller press solutions—from economical single-nip machines for manual or semi-automatic production, to heavy-duty, multi-nip presses engineered for high-throughput automated lines. Available in multiple working widths, roller diameters, and nip configurations, each roller press can be tailored to match material requirements, adhesive systems, and production volumes.

Panel Laminating Catalog

Evans Midwest roller presses are designed with rigid welded frames, precision-ground rubber or silicone rollers, and accurate thickness control to ensure uniform pressure across the entire panel width. This consistency is critical for achieving high-quality bonds, minimizing defects, and improving overall yield—whether you’re laminating decorative panels, door skins, composite boards, or specialty overlays.

For higher production demands, Evans Midwest offers continuous and multi-section roller presses with powered upper and lower rollers, electronic thickness positioning, and HMI/PLC control. These heavy-duty systems are ideal for integration into fully automated laminating lines where repeatability, speed, and long-term durability are essential.

In addition to standard cold nip roller presses, select Evans Midwest models can be configured with integrated heating zones. Heated roller presses—often referred to as heat tunnels—use infrared heating to accelerate adhesive curing and improve bond performance on specific laminating applications. These systems are commonly used where higher line speeds or challenging materials require controlled heat in addition to pressure.

With options ranging from single-surface heating to top-and-bottom heated configurations, Evans Midwest heated roller presses provide a controlled, repeatable process while maintaining the mechanical precision expected from a production-grade laminating machine.

Whether you need a compact roller press for low-volume production or a heavy-duty, multi-nip system for continuous operation, Evans Midwest designs roller presses to integrate seamlessly into your laminating workflow. From manual feed stations to fully automated lines, each machine is built to support consistent quality, long service life, and future scalability.

Evans Midwest roller presses deliver the pressure, control, and flexibility required to support modern flat-panel laminating operations—today and as your production grows.
