About Bekum
Who Bekum isBekum is a family-owned German manufacturer of extrusion blow molding machines, founded in 1959 and now in its second generation of ownership. The company has installed more than 18,000 machines in over 120 countries and operates manufacturing and service locations in Germany, Austria, and the United States. Bekum designs and builds its own extrusion heads and critical components in-house, which supports parts availability and service for the long life of its machines.
What equipment Bekum is known forBekum specializes in extrusion blow molding machinery for hollow plastic parts ranging from 0.1 to 1,000 liters. Their portfolio covers compact machines for packaging, pharmaceutical, and medical products up to 20 liters; canister and container machines from 20 liters; and industrial blow molding machines for large containers from 50 liters. They also build special machines for automotive and 3D applications. The machines are available in electric or hydraulic drive, single- or twin-station configurations, and with mono-layer or multi-layer extrusion heads.
Model series buyers search forThe H-Series is Bekum's long-running workhorse platform for single- and double-station blow molding, covering containers from 50 ml to 12 liters with up to 16 cavities and options for in-mold labeling, Tri-Ex, Co-Ex, and View Stripe. The BM series includes proven hydraulic twin-station machines such as the BM 704D for containers up to 12 liters, and the BM 506 DL, a continuous extrusion multi-layer machine. The EBLOW 508–708 series is a fully electric line for containers up to 10 liters, using the HiPEx 36D extruder and BC 8.0 control. The SBLOW 5–15 SmartLine covers smaller packaging, medical, and canister applications.
What to check when buying a used BekumStart with the control system: older machines may run original controls while newer EBLOW and BM models use the BC 8.0 control, so confirm the version and whether spare parts and software support are still available. Check the extruder and extrusion head for wear, since Bekum manufactures these in-house and they are central to machine performance. For multi-layer machines like the BM 506 DL, verify the co-extrusion layers and die head configuration still match your intended barrier or stripe requirements. Inspect the clamping system, mold platens, and carriage for wear, especially on high-cycle machines. Ask for maintenance records and confirm the machine's history, as many Bekum machines run for decades in continuous production.
Service and parts supportBekum supports customers through a global sales and service network with locations in Germany, Austria, and the USA, and offers a worldwide spare parts network. When evaluating a used machine, ask whether the specific model is still supported, what lead times apply for critical spares, and whether technical documentation and training are available. Because Bekum builds key components in-house, parts for older models may need to be sourced through Bekum or specialist suppliers, so confirming support before purchase is important.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check on a used Bekum H-series blow molding machine?
Inspect the clamping unit, mold platens, and carriage for wear, since these machines often run high cycle rates. Check the extruder and extrusion head for wear and verify the control system version. Ask for maintenance records and confirm that spare parts are still available for the specific model.
Are parts still available for older Bekum blow molding machines?
Bekum supports customers through a global spare parts network and has locations in Germany, Austria, and the USA. Availability depends on the model and its age, so confirm lead times for critical components before purchase. Because Bekum manufactures key components in-house, some parts may need to be sourced directly from Bekum or specialist suppliers.
What is the difference between Bekum's H-series and BM-series machines?
The H-series is a long-running platform for single- and double-station blow molding, covering containers from 50 ml to 12 liters with options for multi-layer and in-mold labeling. The BM series includes proven hydraulic twin-station machines like the BM 704D for containers up to 12 liters, and the BM 506 DL for continuous extrusion multi-layer applications.
Can a used Bekum machine run multi-layer or barrier applications?
Some Bekum models, such as the BM 506 DL and certain H-series machines, support co-extrusion and multi-layer heads for barrier packaging. Check the specific machine's die head configuration and layer capability, as these options were not installed on every unit. Verify that the existing setup matches your intended container and barrier requirements.
What controls do Bekum blow molding machines use?
Newer Bekum models such as the EBLOW 508-708 use the BC 8.0 control system. Older machines may have earlier control versions, so confirm the exact control on the used machine you are considering. Check whether software support and spare control components are still available.
How long do Bekum blow molding machines typically last?
Bekum machines are known for durability, with many units running for decades in continuous production. Longevity depends on maintenance, cycle rates, and the materials processed. A used machine with documented service history and moderate hours can still provide many years of service.
