At K 2025, Bekum will showcase its outstanding extrusion blow molding solutions, highlighting the world premiere of the new Smartline, a live demonstration of crystal-clear PET handle bottles on an EBLOW 508D, and new service and retrofit solutions.

World premiere: New all-electric Smartline

The new all-electric Smartline machine series will make its global debut at K 2025. Developed to minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Smartline offers significantly lower investment, industry-leading energy efficiency, and low-maintenance design.

This machine will show live demonstrations of compact consumer packaging solution suitable for the fast-moving consumer goods market.

Live demo: Crystal-clear PET handle bottles on EBLOW 508D

Bekum will present a live demonstration of crystal-clear PET handle bottles on the all-electric EBLOW 508D. The double-station machine features powerful e-Twin-Toggle clamping system (300 kN), high-efficiency drives, and intuitive BC 8.0 control system.

The flexible extrusion configuration allows processing both PET and HDPE without conversion – ideal for producing PET handle containers or stackable HDPE canisters up to 12 liters.

In collaboration with NOVAPET, Bekum will demonstrate the production of a 2-liter handled amphora made from 100% recyclable PET – showcasing the transparency, strength, and design freedom of this exclusive packaging solution for brand differentiation.

Expanded service and retrofit capabilities for non-Bekum machine

Bekum now offers independent service and retrofit solution, for the first time for machines from other manufacturers.

This cross-brand concept extends Bekum’s capabilities beyond its own systems, aiming to provide even more reliable and efficient support to customers during ongoing production – regardless of machine origin.

In addition to comprehensive spare parts supply, the offering includes technical services, condition assessments, retrofit packages, and targeted upgrades – including retrofitting non-Bekum machines with Bekum extrusion heads.

One example is the 3BKW55-3 extrusion head with vertical extruders, specifically developed for processing recyclable materials. Also on display at the K booth, this head features a flow-optimized geometry and spiral mandrel technology, ensuring excellent melt homogeneity and precise layer distribution. Especially noteworthy is the user-friendly arrangement of mechanical adjustments for simplified operation.
