KEB – Kautex Extrusion Blowmolding

Smart Design for fast Changeovers and reliable Production Results.

The KEB Series delivers maximum flexibility in extrusion blow molding. Designed for consumer and industrial packaging as well as technical parts, it is the ideal choice for manufacturers with medium output needs and frequent product changes. From bottles to jerry cans up to 20 L and technical parts like bellows or air ducts, the KEB combines versatility with reliable performance.

With its single-station design and in-line clamping, the KEB integrates deflashing, post cooling, and cost-efficient push-contact take-out into one streamlined process. Fast mold changes and a swiveling extruder platform enable quick die head replacements and start-ups, reducing downtime and boosting productivity.

Green or Grey?

With the KEB series, Kautex builds on more than 50 years of extrusion blow molding success – and takes it to the next level. Under the names KEB GREY and KEB GREEN, the series represents two technological directions: GREY as a robust, fully hydraulic platform with proven performance, and GREEN as a brand-new all-electric development for maximum energy efficiency and future-readiness. Together, they provide the foundation for flexible production solutions that adapt to diverse market demands and sustainability goals.

KEB GREEN

The KEB GREEN represents the next stage of development – our all-electric generation, making its debut at K 2025. It delivers a true innovation leap: maximum energy efficiency, precise motion control, reduced operating costs, and a clear focus on sustainable production. With state-of-the-art servo drives, digital connectivity, and flexible modularity, KEB GREEN is the answer to future demands in consumer packaging, industrial packaging, and technical parts.

KEB GREY

The KEB GREY is the fully hydraulic version of the series – a revival of a trusted platform with more than 3,500 installations worldwide. It combines robust mechanics with our latest BC6 control system, offering an optimized interface, fast commissioning, and digital upgrade options. With backward compatibility to existing molds and heads, it remains a reliable choice for many customers. KEB GREY stands for continuity, stability, and cost efficiency.
