At CHINAPLAS 2026 on April 21-24 in Shanghai, China, Bekum Group will focus on applications where product protection, process stability and material performance are mission critical – ranging from pharmaceutical cleanroom applications to PET handle bottle and large industrial packaging for sensitive media.

Bekum will show its packaging solutions for technically demanding markets at CHINAPLAS 2026.

Pharma & healthcare: Cleanroom-compatible packaging solutions

Bekum machine concepts are designed for operation in controlled production environments up to cleanroom conditions. Electromechanical axes ensure precise, reproducible motion sequences and stable cycle times.

Both monolayer and multilayer technologies enable defined barrier properties — for example in packaging for liquid pharmaceuticals, diagnostic solutions or disinfectants.

The combination of homogeneous melt preparation, precision extrusion head technology and process-stable machine control ensures consistently high packaging quality — a fundamental requirement in regulated markets.

Handle bottles from 100% rPET

As a technology leader for demanding PET extrusion blow molding applications, Bekum presents crystal-clear handle bottles manufactured from 100% recyclable PET. In this segment, transparency, ergonomics and design flexibility are key performance factors.

Typical applications include food-related applications, household cleaners, and laundry and home care products.

The flexible extrusion configuration of Bekum machines enables processing of both PET and HDPE without mechanical conversion, which is ideal for manufacturing handle containers in either PET or HDPE.

Industrial packaging: High-purity and hazardous goods applications

In the field of industrial packaging, Bekum covers a broad portfolio, from jerrycans and drums to IBC components. Specific requirements arise in applications involving chemicals and hazardous goods, specialty additives and media, as well as high-purity applications, for example in the semiconductor industry.

In semiconductor environments, ultra-pure process chemicals are used that do not tolerate contamination from packaging materials. Critical factors include high-purity raw materials, precisely defined multilayer structures, excellent surface quality and dimensional stability in large-volume containers.

Multilayer technologies with integrated barrier layers provide permeation resistance, reduce emissions and enhance safety during storage and transportation.

Bekum machines are engineered for the production of large-volume packaging with high weight consistency, precise clamping force control and uniform wall thickness distribution — essential criteria for UN-certified packaging systems.

Technology as the basis for market success

Performance in these markets is based on spiral mandrel extrusion heads for optimal melt homogeneity, precise electromechanical drive systems, short clamping force build-up times, modular machine concepts and energy-efficient high-performance extruders.

Bekum stands for precise engineering solutions, high production reliability and premium-quality machines that manufacture first-class packaging — tailored to the specific requirements of sensitive and industrial markets.

With its participation at CHINAPLAS, Bekum underlines its ambition not only to be a machine manufacturer, but a long-term technology partner for demanding packaging segments worldwide.
