About Bekum
Bekum was founded in 1959 by Gottfried Mehnert in Berlin, Germany and is one of the world''s pioneers and leading manufacturers of extrusion blow molding machinery. Bekum builds continuous and accumulator-head extrusion blow molding machines for bottles, containers, jerry cans, fuel tanks, automotive ducting, large industrial drums, and technical parts up to several hundred liters. The product range covers the all-electric EBLOW series for high-precision packaging, the HBM (Hyblow) hybrid line that combines electric and hydraulic actuation for energy-efficient mid-range production, the BAE and BA continuous-extrusion shuttle and rotary machines for bottles and HDPE/PP containers, and the BFB and H-Series accumulator-head machines for large industrial parts and automotive fuel tanks. Bekum machines are widely used by major converters in food, beverage, household chemical, lubricant, and automotive packaging worldwide. Used Bekum machines are popular on the secondary market because of the rugged German construction, energy-efficient drives, easy mold changes, and the strong U.S. service network. Common inspection points on a used Bekum include extruder screw and barrel wear, accumulator head condition (on H-Series and BFB), parison programmer function, blow pin alignment, deflashing station condition, and the Siemens or Bekum control system. Parts and service are supported by Bekum America Corporation in Williamston, Michigan.
