Technology

Always a step ahead with BEKUM technology!

Multi-Cavity-Concept

The Multi Cavity Concept takes advantage of the maximum mould width of the blow moulding machine. The success of this concept is the high output of the BM machines. This means that up to 15 bottles per mould side can be produced, on a twin station machine up to 30 bottles! more

Tandem Blow

The Tandem Blow technology developed by BEKUM allows for the production of two articles from one extrusion parison! Bottom-to-bottom blowing of articles with lost domes for BM single and twin station machines increases the output performance by 100% ! more

Coextrusion

BEKUM has been the leading supplier of Coextrusion process engineering and machine technology for over 30 years. In this process two or more different plastics are combined. These plastics show properties when combined which they do not have when processed on their own. This process offers technical and economical solutions for the highest requirements to a wide variety of branches such as food, beverages, milk and dairy, cosmetics, agrochemicals, pharmacy and medicine. The food industry is increasingly making use of the advantages of Coextrusion to extend the product shelf life of dairy and juice beverages up to 12 months via a barrier for light and oxygen protection. In combination with the plastic PP food can even be hot filled. more

Aseptic

Plastics for food packaging for milk, dairy products and beverages have long since asserted themselves. They meet the strict laws on foodstuffs and the environment, are non-toxic, can be easily recycled and are ecologically harmless. The aseptic container production, such as is successfully carried out on BEKUM machines, minimizes bacterial contamination and therefore extends the lifetime of the contents in combination with Coextrusion for several months. more

In-Mould-Labeling

In-Mould-Labelling positions a label, held by a vacuum nozzle, on the inside wall of each cavity of the blow mould before the blowing process, which then fuses with the material during the blowing. The label is therefore not simply stuck on to the outside of the container; it has been integrated into the container itself (and can no longer be removed). It is then no longer necessary to label the article after the blowing process. more

Extrusion heads

Extrusion heads play a major role in the successful production of blow moulded containers and parts. High parison quality, a prerequisite for high quality blown articles, sets high demands on an extrusion head’s performance. BEKUM extrusion heads are developed and optimized using the latest CAD systems and computer programs and are manufactured on state-of-the-art equipment. They are proven high output components which are designed to provide many years of service under production conditions. more
