KBB Series – High-Precision Production for Demanding Packaging

Designed for high-output applications in consumer, pharmaceutical, and industrial packaging, the KBB Series delivers reliable and precise production of bottles, containers, and jerry cans up to 30 L. Its double-station concept combines efficient machine operation with integrated downstream processes for streamlined production.

Why KBB Series ?

Efficiency & Precision

All-electric axes deliver high efficiency, precise operation, and clean, low-maintenance performance without hydraulics.

High Output

With dry cycles from 1.9 seconds and double-station operation, the KBB delivers fast, reliable production for high-volume applications.

Fast Changeover

Quick mold replacement and RapidXchange Head technology reduce changeover time and keep production flexible.

Modular & Digital

Configure the KBB to your needs with modular options, DataCap, and remote access for smarter, future-ready production.

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.

Machine Control

DataCap – OPC UA Interface & Data Collection
Captures and stores machine data. Enables powerful data collection, full process transparency, and integration with your MES systems.
Remote Access Gateway
Provides secure remote connection for service, support, and system supervision. Ensures fast troubleshooting, software updates, and expert assistance—wherever you are.
Integration of Downstream Equipment
Allows direct control and communication with downstream units via the main HMI. Centralized operation and data exchange improve efficiency and reduce interface complexity.

Die Heads

Continuous Extrusion from one to twenty parisons
Stable parison quality ensures uniform wall thickness, fewer rejects, and lower scrap rates—delivering consistent product excellence.
RapidXChange Technology
Fast color changes minimize downtime, allowing customers to react quickly to new orders, reduce waste, and boost productivity.
Electrical Wall Thickness Control
High-precision electric drives optimize material usage and energy consumption, giving customers top product quality with lower operating costs.

Clamping Unit KBB

All-Electric, High speed and dynamic
Smooth movements, reliable clamping performance thanks to knee-lever design. Customers benefit from shorter cycle times, higher output, and stronger competitiveness.
Automatic Mold Thickness Adjustment
Compensate for mold wear directly from the HMI*—no manual intervention needed. This ensures consistent product quality, less downtime, and greater confidence in every cycle.
Quick Mold Change System
Switch products quickly and effortlessly. With fewer interruptions, customers enjoy maximum flexibility, faster response, and reduced changeover costs.
Low Maintenance
A central lubrication system keeps wear and tear to a minimum. That means lower maintenance costs, fewer unplanned stoppages, and peace of mind for operators.

Devices

Integrated Leak Testing
Guarantee 100% product reliability without additional equipment or manual checks—building trust with end users and reducing warranty risks.
Integrated Deflashing
Automated flash cuts cycle times, and ensures cleaner, more consistent products straight from the line.
Flexible Cutting Options
Choose from transversal, hot cutting, or step knife systems to perfectly match your application. This flexibility helps customers adapt to diverse product portfolios without investing in multiple machines.
