With the compact new VariFlex line, Voith has further developed its VariFlex S, M and L two-drum winders and simplified their control technology. The modularly structured VariFlex was designed for a broad range of applications and due to different roll and cover combinations allows configurations for numerous paper grades. While new paper machines from Voith are already delivered with a winder, the new VariFlex was designed in particular for replacements or rebuilds on existing machines which requires only very short shutdown and optimization times.

Since VariFlex is directly delivered with all drives included, customers benefit from fewer interfaces and especially short commissioning and system optimization timeframes. The specifically developed elastic covers for the winder drums, ElaGrip and ElaCare, ensure flawless winding quality even for demanding paper grades. Together with the VariPlus and VariTop single-drum winders, VariFlex covers the entire range of winders for all paper grades and characteristics.
