VACUUM PRESSES
Evans Midwest manufactures the Greco line of industrial 3D shuttle and clamshell style laminating presses. Shuttle and Clamshell Presses provide a simple and affordable solution for 3-dimensional laminating applications and can laminate a variety of decorative overlays including flexible and rigid vinyls, KYDEX® thermoplastic sheet, surf(x)®, and polystyrene.
Our Clamshell Laminating Press Models VP 400C/500C provide an infrared heating system consistent uniform heat using proprietary 375 watt “DuraLamp” heating elements rated at 10,000 hours, and a non-contact IR sensor to monitor actual film temperature throughout the cycle. Same features as VP 400S/500S without the shuttle(s). Also available in 4×4 and 4×8-foot sizes
Bottom line? We help you laminate better, increase productivity, and improve quality.
