Everything about the Watkiss Vario™ has been designed to help you, your business, your operators and your profitability.

The Vario combines speed, reliability and ease of use to deliver productive and cost effective collating every time; every feature contributing to overall efficiency.

A Totally Modular System
The Vario is the only truly modular (bin by bin) vertical collating system in the world. Choose exactly the machine configuration you need now, confident that you can upgrade or add to the machine at any time in the future.

  • Friction or suction feed - up to 16 bins per tower
  • Floor-standing or bench-top
  • Straight and/or offset stacking
  • Booklet making
Reliable Feeding & Set Security
Choose friction feed or suction feed - up to 16 bins per tower. The patented SlimVAC rotary vacuum feed bins collate a wide range of papers with virtually no adjustments.  If you choose friction feed bins, air blast separation ensures you can enjoy 'best in class' performance. The unique Watkiss SMART detection system is in every bin, continually averaging and fully compensating for ambient light conditions.

Centre Referenced
The entire Vario system is centre referenced - so the feed is always balanced and central on the sheet, regardless of the paper size. 

Ergonomic
Load and unload the machine from a single position - this saves space and means less operator fatigue, less downtime and higher productivity.

Easy-to-use Graphical User Interface
The Vario's multi-lingual colour touch-screen interface controls all connected equipment, including stacking, stitching, folding and trimming, giving greater ease of use and fast set-up. Productivity is enhanced by preset sizes, flexible bin linking, multi-set programming and batch insertion.

Multiple outputs and set diversion
Sets can be delivered to the front or the rear of the machine so a stacker and a booklet maker can be online simultaneously. Bad set diversion is a standard feature of all floor-standing Varios.
