By Silke Landtwing, Leister.  

Since 2019 the Leister UNIDRIVE 500 has been used worldwide on flat and pitched roofs.  

The Leister UNIDRIVE 500 has been a popular option for flat and pitched roofs since day one! Why? The semi-automatic hot-air welding machine is compact and maneuverable, but the real selling point is that it makes roofers jobs easier. The feedback has been positive worldwide! Read on to learn more about the UNIDRIVE 500 and why roofers from all over the world are enthusiastically embracing the technology. 

Constant and homogeneous weld seam quality 

With the UNIDRIVE 500 users achieve a constant and homogeneous weld seam quality. For example, if five roofers weld a sub-roofing membrane with a hot-air hand tool, each weld looks different. This is normal, because everyone welds differently. The UNIDRIVE 500 compensates for these differences, because despite operating the semi-automatic hot-air welding machine manually, the welding process itself is automated. Foremen or forewomen simply set the parameters beforehand. Subsequently, roofers achieve consistent welding results with the UNIDRIVE 500. 

Compact, lightweight flexible welding flat and pitched roofs 

Due to its compact design and low weight, the UNIDRIVE 500 application range is very large. Whether you want to waterproof a flat roof or a pitched roof. The UNIDRIVE 500 offers everything you need in one device. Its dual drive and left-to-right rotating nozzle allow you to weld in both directions. This increases flexibility when welding roofs. 

Optimally equipped – whether beginner or professional 

You are not a roofing professional yet, but want to become one? Then the UNIDRIVE 500 is the right entry-level welder for you. Why? The fact that it combines manual and automatic welding in one device means you can seal roofs professionally right from the start. If you later want to weld larger roofs, such as commercial and industrial buildings, you will find it easy to switch to the Leister automatic roof welding machines UNIROOF 300, UNIROOF 700, VARIMAT S and VARIMAT V2. For smaller jobs, welding edge details, skylight domes, connections, parapet details and flashings as well as geomembrane liner prefabrication, you still have access to your UNIDRIVE 500. 

The UNIDRIVE 500 is also the ideal device for anyone who only occasionally welds geomembranes professionally. And Leister offers the handy roof professional at an extremely attractive price-performance ratio. 

Up to five times faster than manual welding 

If you once again have to complete a project under time pressure, you are in the right place with the well-equipped UNIDRIVE 500 by Leister. Because the automation and ergonomics of the semi-automatic hot air roof welding machine helps you weld up to four times faster than welding by hand. If that's not enough of a reason?! 

Test UNIDRIVE 500 

Would you like to test the handy, flexible and semi-automatic Leister roof wonder? Our competent consultants are already looking forward to showing you the UNIDRIVE 500.
