Compact. Efficient. High Output.

KSH – Kautex Safety Handling

Maximum Efficiency for large-volume Industrial Packaging.

The KSH Series is specially built for large-volume industrial packaging and sets new standards in high-output production. Optimized for open-top drums or L-ring drums, and IBCs up to 1,250 L, it delivers performance and efficiency at a next level.

With its continuous extrusion system, the KSH ensures outstanding parison quality, while linear-axis transfer and take-out provide smooth, reliable handling. Optional deflashing and post cooling stations ensure optimal quality and enable high output rates.

Why KSH?

High output

Up to 50+ drums/hour (220 L, single station) or 40+ IBCs/hour (1.000 L, single station).

Energy efficient & sustainable

Innovative Blue Hydraulic for highest efficiency, 3-layer ReCo technology to handle PIR/PCR materials.

Fully automated line

Deflashing, postcooling, inspection – inline and synchronized.

Compact Footprint

Designed for space-constrained layouts & container transport.

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.
