True to our production philosophy, our blow-moulding machines in the xBLOW series are available as an electric (EBLOW), hydraulic (HYBLOW) and hybrid version. The clamping unit developed by Bekum with its patented C-base frame ensures a symmetrical distribution of force, regardless of the drive technology selected, and high parallelism of the clamping plates to deliver the best possible moulding of the article by means of a perfect pinch-off during the blow-moulding process. Clamping force build-up times of 100 ms for sensitive plastics, the magnetic quick-change system for changing the blow mould in just 15 minutes, and availability of 100% of the clamping force without manual adjustment are just a few of the innovative and impressive features. The xBLOW series is the solution to your packaging requirements – reliable, versatile and fast.

Machines

EBLOW 807D – innovative, functional machine design. Machines for a very high output capacity, in particular for containers with handles.
HYBLOW 707D – classic hydraulic drive concept – optimal Tandem Blow, multilayer applications and quick mould change
Blow-moulding machine with magnetic quick-change system and Bi-Extrusion technology

Features

Electric drives – low-maintenance, high-performance and energy-saving
Magnetic quick-change system for blow moulds – easy to change in less than 15 minutes per clamping unit
Multi-touch operating panel in widescreen format (16:9) with TwinCat 3 control technology

Our clamping unit

Patented C-base frame – the centrepiece of the xBLOW series makes an impression with virtually 100% parallelism of the clamping plates
