Applications for Blow Molding Machines.
From large containers and drums to PET bottles, pharma and more.
Blow Molding Machines for Every Packaging Application
From concept to series production – tailor-made blow molding solutions.
From PET bottles to canisters, pharmaceutical and food packaging, large containers, drums and IBCs: Bekum blow molding machines process a wide range of materials and geometries – with co-extrusion technologies for functional barriers, precise wall thickness control for weight reduction, and maximum flexibility for small and large volumes alike.
Our current focus areas include canisters, pharmaceutical and medical packaging, as well as IBC and drum solutions for large containers – discover in the application areas below how we develop the right solution for every industry, from a single machine to a fully automated production line.
PET Bottles with Handle | Premium Packaging for Juices and Beverages
Our extrusion blow molding machines master the demanding processing of PET – for crystal-clear plastic jars and high-quality handle bottles, such as for premium juices.
Benefit from years of development know-how with leading material producers: from precise wall thickness control for brilliant transparency to a stable handle geometry for a secure grip, our machines master every detail requirement. This lets you present your product perfectly with high-quality PET packaging – economically and with consistent quality.
Pharma & Medical | Sterile Packaging from the Cleanroom
Where absolute purity and precision are required, Bekum sets the standard.
Fully electric blow molding machines for cleanroom operation enable the sterile production of pharmaceutical and medical packaging in line with GMP and FDA requirements. Minimized particle contamination, seamless process monitoring and validatable processes form the basis for the highest product safety. From dropper bottles and ampoules to inhalers, we deliver tailored solutions for sensitive applications in pharmaceutical and medical technology.
Canisters | Maximum Efficiency and Flexibility
Bekum blow molding systems stand for the highest productivity and quality in canister production – from the 1-liter engine oil canister with sight strip to the stackable 20-liter industrial canister.
Multi-layer co-extrusion solutions create functional barriers against chemicals and UV radiation, while intelligent regrind recycling noticeably reduces material consumption. Optional testing systems for leak tightness and weight ensure consistently high quality in continuous operation. Whether a single machine or a fully automated production line: our systems run reliably around the clock – in use worldwide at leading canister manufacturers.
Household & Personal Care | Surface Quality with Brand Impact
For cosmetic and personal care packaging, look and feel play a key role in brand success.
With our co-extrusion technologies – from 2-layer deco through 3-layer bi-ex to 4- to 6-layer co-ex – we create smooth, high-gloss or soft-touch surfaces that present brand products at their best. Functional barrier layers protect sensitive formulations from light and oxygen, while precise wall thickness control saves material without compromising the product's impact. The result is packaging that stands out on the shelf while remaining economical to produce.
Lubricants & Chemicals | Safe Industrial Packaging
Lubricants, cleaning agents and industrial chemicals place high demands on their packaging.
Our multi-layer co-extrusion technology ensures dimensionally stable, safe industrial containers with reliable barrier protection against oxygen, UV radiation and aggressive chemical influences. This extends the service life of the containers, reduces material fatigue and ensures reliable tightness even during long storage and transport. From small containers to large-volume canisters, our machines produce economically and with consistently high quality.
Dairy & Food | Packaging with Maximum Freshness
With tandem-blow and multi-cavity technology, Bekum sets new standards in the production of high-performance packaging for milk, juices and food.
Co-extrusion solutions with functional barrier layers extend the shelf life of sensitive food products while reducing material consumption. Aseptic blow molding enables sterile filling without preservatives, while multi-cavity technology ensures maximum efficiency even at high volumes. This means manufacturers of dairy products, juices and food benefit from short cycle times combined with consistently high product safety.
Automotive & Mobility | Safety and Stability in Vehicle Use
Fuel tanks and tank systems must be reliable, safe and durable.
With 6- and 7-layer co-extrusion technology, Bekum produces high-performance plastic fuel tanks with excellent barrier properties against fuels and emissions. Complex geometries, fittings and connections are integrated with process reliability to meet strict automotive standards. The result is lightweight, corrosion-resistant tank systems that guarantee maximum stability and safety in vehicle use.
Drums, IBCs & Large Containers | Robust Solutions for Large Volumes
Whether tight-head drums, L-ring drums, IBC inner containers or industrial containers – large-volume packaging must withstand extreme loads.
With highly efficient blow molding technology and years of expertise in HDPE/HMW-HDPE, Bekum produces stable, economical industrial containers from 50 to 1,000 liters – including certified hazardous goods packaging. With spiral or accumulator head technology, our machines achieve uniform wall thicknesses even with complex, large-volume geometries. The result is robust containers that reliably withstand extreme mechanical and chemical loads.
Technical Parts & Specialties | Tailor-Made Solutions for Every Application
Whether robust industrial parts, functional equipment components or creative special solutions – Bekum machines master demanding tasks.
Our modular systems adapt flexibly to technical requirements – from simple monolayer to complex multi-layer applications with functional properties. Interfaces for robots and peripheral equipment enable fully automated production processes with minimal manual effort. Whether prototype, small batch or large-scale production: we develop the right blow molding solution for your individual application together with you.
