our Plastics Know-How

Plastics Know-How – Polymer Expertise for Advanced Extrusion Blow Molding Machines

As a specialized manufacturer of extrusion blow molding machines, we know that in-depth plastic processing knowledge is key to building high-performance systems. Under the term Plastics Know-How, we combine decades of experience in polymer behavior, extruder design, and blow molding technology.

We fully understand the processing characteristics of HDPE, PP, PE, PA, LDPE, and recyclates. This deep material knowledge is paired with our in-house development and production of extruders and head systems – offering both accumulator heads and continuous heads tailored to your production requirements.

Using rheological simulations, we analyze and predict plastic flow behavior before production begins. This allows for optimized processing, stable performance, and material efficiency. Trusted partners like W. Müller strengthen our solutions with industry-proven technology. We also provide comprehensive services including extruder and head maintenance as well as custom tooling for head systems.

With Plastics Know-How, you gain a competitive edge through technical precision, polymer insight, and reliable performance – all from a single source.

Your benefits of our Know-How

Many build machines – but only those who understand plastics deliver real value.

As a technology leader in extrusion blow molding machines, Kautex goes beyond mechanical precision. Our systems are not only engineered – they are material-intelligent. That’s where our Plastics Know-How makes the difference.

We combine decades of experience in plastic processing with in-depth knowledge of materials such as HDPE, PP, PE, PA, LDPE, and recyclates. Together with our in-house developed extruders, blow heads, and tooling, we offer fully integrated solutions – from simulation to series production.

With Plastics Know-How, we don’t just deliver machines – we deliver complete solutions that make your production more reliable, efficient, and competitive.

Superior product quality

Precision in every detail. Advanced wall thickness control and optimized material distribution ensure consistent product quality. With stable parameters and accurate monitoring, you achieve high repeatability and minimal scrap rates.

Faster time-to-market

From idea to production in less time. Simulation tools and rheological pre-analysis allow you to validate designs and processes before production starts. This shortens development cycles, reduces trial-and-error, and helps you launch products faster.

Reliable with modern materials

Confidently process recyclates and new compounds. Our solutions enable stable and predictable processing of recyclates, bio-based plastics, and other modern materials — without compromising on safety, quality, or performance

Sustainable and resource-efficient

Smart engineering for less waste. Material-driven process optimization reduces energy use and resource consumption. This leads to a more sustainable production process while cutting costs and lowering your environmental footprint.

Comprehensive Expertise in Plastics Technology

From Die Heads and Extruders to Material Expertise and Simulation. Everything for Precision and Performance.
