Berlin (Germany), March 9, 2026: At interpack, Chinaplas and Saudi Plastics & Petrochem, Bekum Group positions itself as a packaging specialist for technically demanding markets. The focus is on applications where product protection, process stability and material performance are mission crit-ical – ranging from pharmaceutical cleanroom applications to PET handle bottle and large industrial packaging for sensitive media.

In the pharmaceutical sector, the highest standards apply in terms of particle control and repeata-bility full documentation of production processes

-   Consistent wall thickness distribution and dimensional accuracy
-   Validatable process parameters

Bekum machine concepts are designed for operation in controlled production environments up to cleanroom conditions. Electromechanical axes ensure precise, reproducible motion sequences and stable cycle times.

Both monolayer and multilayer technologies enable defined barrier properties — for example in packaging for liquid pharmaceuticals, diagnostic solutions or disinfectants.

The combination of homogeneous melt preparation, precision extrusion head technology and process-stable machine control ensures consistently high packaging quality — a funda-mental requirement in regulated markets.

 

As a technology leader for demanding PET extrusion blow molding applications, Bekum presents crystal-clear handle bottles manufactured from 100% recyclable PET. In this segment, transparency, ergonomics and design flexibility are key performance factors. Typical applications include:

- Food-related applications

- Household cleaners

- Laundry and home care products

The flexible extrusion configuration of Bekum machines enables processing of both PET and HDPE without mechanical conversion — ideal for manufacturing handle containers in either PET or HDPE.

In the field of industrial packaging, Bekum covers a broad portfolio — from jerrycans and drums to IBC components. Specific requirements arise in applications involving chemicals and hazardous goods, specialty additives and media, as well as high-purity applications, for example in the semiconductor industry.

In semiconductor environments, ultra-pure process chemicals are used that do not tolerate contamination from packaging materials. Critical factors include high-purity raw materials, precisely defined multilayer structures, excellent surface quality and dimensional stability in large-volume containers. Multilayer technologies with integrated barrier layers provide per-meation resistance, reduce emissions and enhance safety during storage and transportation. Bekum machines are engineered for the production of large-volume packaging with high weight consistency, precise clamping force control and uniform wall thickness distribution — essential criteria for UN-certified packaging systems.

 

Performance in these markets is based on spiral mandrel extrusion heads for optimal melt homogeneity, precise electromechanical drive systems, short clamping force build-up times, modular machine concepts and energy-efficient high-performance extruders.

Bekum stands for precise engineering solutions, high production reliability and premium-quality machines that manufacture first-class packaging — tailored to the specific requirements of sensitive and industrial markets.

With its participation at interpack, Chinaplas and Saudi Plastics & Petrochem, Bekum underlines its ambition not only to be a machine manufacturer, but a long-term technology part-ner for demanding packaging segments worldwide.
