New sourcing and manufacturing concepts form the foundation for these investment advantages. At the same time, optimized drive technology in combination with energy-efficient HiPEx extruders reduces energy costs by up to 20%. Precise process control and efficient material utilization additionally enable material savings of up to 10%. “A strategic milestone is the world premiere of our fully electric SmartLine series, which we presented for the first time at K 2025. We clearly understand that our customers, particularly in consumer packaging, must calculate shar- ply. With the new SmartLine, we were able to reduce ma- chine investment costs by 30%,” emphasizes Managing Partner Michael Mehnert. Compact Solution for Consumer Packaging The SmartLine is specifically designed for small and me- dium-sized producers in the consumer packaging segment as well as for newcomers to extrusion blow moulding tech- nology. With the first two models – SBLOW 5S/D and SBLOW 15S/D – Bekum introduces a compact single-sta- tion (S) and double-station (D) blow moulding machine fea- turing 50 kN and 150 kN clamping force respectively, and opening strokes of 380 mm and 560 mm. Maximummould width is 370 mm and 560 mm respectively, with mould heights of 350 mm and 500 mm. This makes the machine ideally suited for demanding packaging applications while maintaining a small footprint. Energy-Saving High-Performance Extrusion The SmartLine also relies on proven high-performance HiPEx extruders and Bekum’s proprietary extrusion heads. The system ensures high process stability, maximum out- put rates, and excellent melt homogeneity. Uniform wall thickness distribution across the entire circumference of the hollow body guarantees reproducible production re- sults and consistent part quality. Short flow paths and ho- mogeneous temperature control support stable and economical production. Precise Clamping Unit with Rotary Servo Motor The SmartLine clamping unit is driven by an electrome- chanical rotary servo motor. Unlike continuously rotating electric motors, the rotary motor moves precisely to a de- fined angle and stops exactly at the required position. This enables a compact machine design, simplified control ar- chitecture, and high positioning accuracy – combined with reduced energy consumption. Bekum Control 8.0 – Intuitive and Industry 4.0 Ready Equipped with the proven Bekum Control 8.0, the Smart- Line features a powerful and futureproof machine control system. The 24" Full HD portrait touch display offers intui- tive operation and clearly visualizes throughput and energy data via dashboard. Integrated Industry 4.0 functionality enables seamless integration into digital production envi- ronments. Digital Services Included The SmartLine is fully integrated into Bekum’s digital ser- vice environment. Bekum SmartConnect provides real-time remote support. A digital spare parts catalog ensures per- manent access to relevant component information. The service portfolio is complemented by worldwide Bekum Field Service and reliable spare parts availability. Modern and Functional Machine Design The SmartLine follows the award-winning Bekum ma- chine design concept. The machine impresses with its mo- dern and functional appearance as well as generous access and visibility areas. The ergonomic machine concept sup- ports maintenance, mould change processes, and operator convenience in daily production. With the SmartLine, Bekum offers an economical, energy-efficient, and technologically advanced solution for companies entering extrusion blow moulding technology or expanding production capacities in a cost-optimized manner.
