Green or Grey?
With the KEB series, Kautex builds on more than 50 years of extrusion blow molding success – and takes it to the next level. Under the names KEB GREY and KEB GREEN, the series represents two technological directions: GREY as a robust, fully hydraulic platform with proven performance, and GREEN as a brand-new all-electric development for maximum energy efficiency and future-readiness. Together, they provide the foundation for flexible production solutions that adapt to diverse market demands and sustainability goals.
KEB GREEN
The KEB GREEN represents the next stage of development – our all-electric generation, making its debut at K 2025. It delivers a true innovation leap: maximum energy efficiency, precise motion control, reduced operating costs, and a clear focus on sustainable production. With state-of-the-art servo drives, digital connectivity, and flexible modularity, KEB GREEN is the answer to future demands in consumer packaging, industrial packaging, and technical parts.
KEB GREY
The KEB GREY is the fully hydraulic version of the series – a revival of a trusted platform with more than 3,500 installations worldwide. It combines robust mechanics with our latest BC6 control system, offering an optimized interface, fast commissioning, and digital upgrade options. With backward compatibility to existing molds and heads, it remains a reliable choice for many customers. KEB GREY stands for continuity, stability, and cost efficiency.
