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.

The AC 3120 is the perfect machine for the medium size kitchen countertop manufacturer designed to produce up to one countertop per minute, or 5,000 linear feet per shift. The pneumatic deck lift & clamp system, electronically controlled heat bar, cove-stick feeding/clamping system, and unique two-stage forming mechanism ensure a true 90° backsplash every time. Optional powered infeed conveyor and automatic loading system maximizes through-put without additional labor.
