Windmöller & Hölscher Made in Germany
VAREX II
VAREX II
Each VAREX II is configured to order from a modular set of extruders, dies and winders. One line can cover food-contact and non-food consumer packaging, industrial film, and specialties such as barrier, sticky, MDO-stretched and very wide film. W&H cites 8 µm HDPE liner film and 11-layer barrier film with a 1 µm EVOH layer as examples, and the line is run through the procontrol operating system.

Manufacturer data. Options and exact configuration are confirmed in your quote.
Where it fits
VAREX II is aimed at a converter that needs one platform to cover several product lines, from simple mono-layer liner film to nine or eleven layer barrier structures with EVOH, since W&H builds each unit from a modular set of extruders, dies and winders. That flexibility makes sense for a plant supplying multiple customers or markets rather than one running a single fixed product, and the die and line-width range (160 to 900 mm die, 1.3 to 3.6 m line width) covers everything from narrow specialty film to wide consumer packaging. A converter with one stable product and no plans to diversify would find a fixed-configuration line more cost-effective.
Confirm before you order
- Confirm the exact extruder count, layer structure and winder type quoted for your product mix
- Check output rate for your target film gauge, since W&H does not publish one fixed figure
- Verify die diameter matches your intended lay-flat width before finalizing the configuration
