One of them is the Varin Model 41, an automatic closing machine which can be used as either a straight-line (MSLF) cannery model for round cans containing liquid or semi-liquid products, or with a disc feed for can manufacturing or packing solid products at speeds of up to 250 cans/min.

Suansan Udakam, Technical Advisor, Varin, said, “The Varin 41 can easily accommodate a range of can heights as it has a height range variation of about 29mm. We also provide substitute height change parts when larger adjustments are necessary.”

The second machine which Varin has sold at Propak Asia is the Varin 400, another automatic closing machine designed for closing can sizes from No.200 to No.404 at a speed of 120cans/min. Describing it as a “rugged, low cost machine”, Udakam explained that the cans are received on a slowly revolving indexing disc and delivered into the machine where they are carried to any one of the four rotating seaming heads that are mounted in a revolving turret.

Although the Varin 08 is used primarily for closing No.603 can sizes at a speed of 25/min, it can also handle cans from No.307 to No.700 with great efficiency and minimal spillage. This machine, sold during Propak Asia, has a single rotating seaming head, and is versatile with accessories available for can making and steam vacuum.

Involved in the manufacture and supply of new and rebuilt processing, canning, and can-making equipment and spare parts from its two factories in Thailand, as well as USA, France, Germany, UK, Japan and Australia, Varin provides 24-hour after-service to its clients. With its head office in Bangkok, 60% of the 28 year old equipment supplier’s companies are Thai companies. The others are from the rest of Asia and it also has about 20 European and South African customers.
