The newly designed XBLOW series includes machine sizes 50, 100, 200 and 300, which are available as single‐station machines. The heart of this series is the central clamping unit with two diagonal spars and a two‐stage hybrid‐electric clamping drive for clamping forces of 500 ‐ 3,000 KN. By using servo hydraulics, the energy requirement could be significantly reduced. The use of blow moulds of different thicknesses is designed in mind. Using the new Bekum Control 8.0 machine control system on the HMI, the operator can conveniently and easily adjust very large variable mold thicknesses that are not possible with other electric clamping drives of large blow molding systems. The system does not have to be mechanically adjusted. While the clamping unit is arranged centrally under the stage with battery heads, continuous heads require a slightly offset position. Modern and quiet speed‐controlled hydraulic power units reduce energy consumption and reduce the noise level to 71 dB(A).
