Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
The VARIMAT 500 is the workhorse automatic welder for large flat-roof seaming. Match the power supply before ordering: the bare machine lets you fit a 230 V or 400 V plug, so buy the correct cord end and have it wired by a qualified electrician. Pair it with Leister pressure rollers and a handheld detail welder for seams, flashings and penetrations the machine cannot reach.
Connect the power cord only through a properly rated plug fitted by a qualified electrician, and keep hands clear of the hot nozzle and drive surfaces while welding.
Order the Leister VARIMAT 500 welder today and put automatic seam welding power on your next flat roof.
