SKYREEF Series
The Full (Eco)System in Blow Molding
Green for maximum Sustainability, Blue for maximum Flexibility, both united by Precision, Efficiency, and Smart Integration.
Efficient. Adaptive. Future-Ready.
SKYREEF-Series represents a “Full (Eco)System”
a holistic approach where melt quality, parison control, mold efficiency and downstream equipment operate in perfect harmony.
The two lines serve different needs:
- SKYREEF GREEN: All-electric, 100% oil-free, optimized for precision & sustainability
- SKYREEF BLUE: Hybrid concept combining electric motion with hydraulic clamping – perfect for flexibility and robustness
Both use BC6 control systems and allow seamless integration of PCR, foamed layers, and smart digital modules.
Why SKYREEF ?
Your choice of drive system: Full-electric or hybrid drive what you prefer and need. Scaled to your needs from Mono to CoEx applications.
Modern BC6 control system, modular upgrades, R-Cycle supported and recyclate-ready. Supports PCR, foamed materials, right-weighting.
Fastest color changes in class: no dead zones, minimal flow lengths and excellent wall-thickness control, thanks to Kautex melt expertise
GREEN or BLUE?
One system – two paths: GREEN for precision & sustainability, BLUE for flexibility & performance. The SKYREEF Series sets a new benchmark in extrusion blow molding. As a modular “Full (Eco)System,” it unites melt quality, parison control, efficient tooling, and smart downstream modules into one seamless process. Whether in the all-electric GREEN or the hybrid BLUE version, both lines deliver superior part quality, flexible adaptability, and a future-ready production platform.
SKYREEF GREEN ：
The SKYREEF GREEN is the all-electric solution for maximum energy efficiency and sustainability. With 100% electric drives, oil-free operation, and precise wall-thickness control, it is ideal for clean production environments such as food, cosmetics, or pharma. Its benefits: ultra-low energy consumption, reduced operating costs, maximum part consistency, and minimal maintenance.
SKYREEF BLUE ：
The SKYREEF BLUE combines electric motion with a hydraulic clamping unit – the perfect hybrid solution for flexibility and high output. It is especially suited for larger articles such as jerry cans, drums, or industrial containers, offering short cycle times, proven mechanics, and excellent cost-performance ratio. Thanks to its robustness and compatibility with existing molds, it is the reliable choice for manufacturers with a wide product range.
