K3D Series – Advanced 3D Blow Molding for Complex Automotive Components

The K3D Series is engineered for the efficient production of complex three-dimensional pipe systems used in automotive applications. By combining suction blow molding and horizontal parison insertion technologies, it produces high-quality parts with complex geometries while minimizing material waste and eliminating welding seams.

Why K3D Series ?

Seamless

Produces complex 3D parts without welding seams, ensuring uniform wall thickness, higher strength, and improved product durability.

Efficient

Reduces flash and material waste, lowering energy consumption, operating costs, and overall production investment.

Automated

Combines intelligent process control and automation to deliver stable production, consistent quality, and higher productivity.

Process Know How

At Kautex, “Process Know-How” stands for our deep understanding of the extrusion blow molding process – from molten polymer to finished product. We highlight key aspects of machine operation and unique features such as our advanced clamping technology and more.

Clamping Unit K3D

Flexibility by Design – Choose between a vertical or horizontal parting line to match your application. Horizontal molds reduce cost and complexity, while vertical molds enable suction blow molding for advanced production flexibility.
Suction Blow Molding Technology – Perfect for pipe- and channel-shaped articles, suction blow molding offers a smarter way to produce complex geometries. The process delivers seamless, more durable parts with significantly less scrap -a win for both quality.

Die Heads

Sequential Coextrusion (SeCo) – SeCo blow molding combines different material layers (e.g., Soft–Hard–Soft) in one part, delivering strength, flexibility, or heat resistance where needed. Perfect for complex ducts and pipes, it ensures lighter, more cost-efficient, and recyclable production with reduced material use and energy demand.
CoExtrusion – Filler pieps require a multilayer parison is no problem for K3D. Up to 7-layer CoEx is possible.

Parison & Article Handling

Industrial Robots – Manage both parison and article handling, giving you maximum flexibility in product design and process flow. This ensures precise, reliable operations while opening the door to more complex geometries and integrated production steps.
