KBB blow molding machines For Consumer Packaging

The bottle versions KBB20, KKB40, KBB60, KBB80 and KBB100 are available as single-station and double-station machines.The clamping forces range from 100KN to 500KN.

The KBB series – for jerry cans or bottlesThe high-performance machines in the successful KBB series are available as versions for the production of bottles or stackable jerry cans. A key differentiator for the jerry can machine is the use of taller mold platens, increased mold depth and increased mold opening stroke.

When training your employees to use a new extrusion blow molding machine, even the smallest mistake can cause costly damage. Consequently, many machine operators do not extensively test all of the functions to minimize the risk of damage and downtime.Additionally, training on the machine has high costs in terms of material consumption and machine operation.

Virtual machines from Kautex Maschinenbau enable simulation-based training, which does not incur such costs. There is also no risk of damage.However, risk-free training is not the only benefit of virtu-al machines. With the aid of these simulator training tools, Kautex machines can be brought into operation much faster and be used more efficiently.

To set standards in production, above all you need one thing:a reliable, international range of services on offer.

This is why more than 40 Kautex service technicians work around the clock worldwide, with spare parts available at several international sites.

What’s more, all KBB machines can be reached indepen-dently of the customer network using a remote diagnostic function in order to verify process data, rectify problems or optimize processes.
