Evans Midwest AP 710S / 1010S Shuttle Presses

The AP 710S and AP 1010S models exemplify Evans Midwest’s commitment to innovation. These “shuttle” style thermo-laminating presses are specifically engineered to laminate both flat and 3-dimensional panels, commonly found in aircraft and railcar interiors. Utilizing infrared heating and vacuum technology, these systems offer unparalleled precision. The presses come in two configurations, capable of handling panels up to 15 or 24 inches thick at the center of the form. Moreover, the option of adding a second shuttle significantly boosts production capabilities. These models can also be equipped with optional pneumatic locking cylinders, cooling fans, and light curtains, further enhancing their functionality.
