Large-volume production
with a system

Maximum volume,
maximum control.

With clamping forces of up to 3,000 kN, a modular platform concept and state-of-the-art control technology, the machines of the XBLOW 200–300 series set the benchmark for extrusion blow moulding of large industrial containers. Whether 1,000-litre IBCs, technical parts or drums – Bekum offers turnkey solutions that combine performance, process reliability and ease of use.

Built for big tasks.
Your benefits at a glance

Up to 1,500 litres volume – uncompromising performance

The XBLOW 300 is designed for extremely large-volume containers – from pallet to IBCs and customized tank systems. The machines stand out with reliable handling, flexible part pickup and robust design.

Hybrid clamping unit with up to 3,000 kN

Patented clamping concept for short cycle times and high precision – with adjustable clamping force and variable mould thickness setting directly via HMI. A real plus for changing product formats.

Record-fast material and colour changes

The spiral mandrel heads of the XBLOW series ensure consistent wall thickness and especially quick colour or material changes. Saves time, scrap and costs – even with frequent changes.

Save energy – produce sustainably

IE5 extruder motors and speed-controlled hydraulic units significantly reduce energy use. Thanks to high melt homogeneity, product quality stays top-tier.

Turnkey systems with automation

With post-cooling, robot removal, leak testing or packaging unit: Bekum delivers the full system – adapted to industrial standards or UN approvals as needed.

Industry 4.0 – everything at a glance

The BC 8.0 control system provides full visibility of process data, energy consumption and product quality. Custom dashboards and smart analytics deliver instant transparency.

Size isn’t everything.
Choose a production solution that grows with every challenge – combining technology, usability and profitability.

Smart extrusion for big jobs

Producing very high volumes requires uncompromising extrusion power. The HiPEx 36D extruders in the XBLOW series use 36 L/D screw geometry for ideal melting – even with fillers or recyclates. IE5 motors save up to 20 % energy. The result: maximum process stability, short cycle times, and homogeneous melt – every time.

Automation included – less effort per unit

Large containers need smart processes. That’s why Bekum offers turnkey systems with built-in automation – from post-cooling and robotic removal to leak and weight control. The result: consistent high-quality containers with no manual steps and optional integration into downstream systems.
