Technology
for demanding tank solutions
Proven machine concept – precise & powerful
The BA 220 is based on a robust and long-established concept for demanding applications such as plastic fuel tanks. Its reliability and precision make it the top choice for leading automotive suppliers.
3D processing with Ship-in-the-Bottle technology
By inserting components such as pumps and sensors into the open parison system, a nearly assembly-free tank is created – precise, automated and space-saving.
Fully automated deflashing (IMD)
The integrated IMD technology (In Mould Deflashing) automatically removes flash from the part, ensuring a clean result without rework – directly in the machine.
Co-extrusion for multi-layer tanks
With up to 7 layers, Bekum creates tanks with an integrated EVOH barrier – ensuring optimal sealing, high safety, and reduced emissions.
Flexible production concepts – mobile or stationary
With selectable configurations including mobile or fixed clamping systems, the BA 220 adapts perfectly to custom production layouts.
Seamless process control & post-processing
Weighing, leak testing, trimming and quality documentation: the BA 220 integrates smoothly with automated downstream and inspection systems.
Tank production in series. With precision and power.
Bekum has stood for intelligent tank solutions for decades. Rely on proven technology with high innovation potential.
Pioneering since the 80s – a legacy of trust
As early as the 1980s, Bekum set standards in tank manufacturing – with the introduction of continuous extrusion, co-extrusion technologies and fully automated removal systems.
Today, manufacturers around the world benefit from this experience: Numerous production lines at OEMs such as FIAT and Volkswagen successfully operate with the BA 220. The modular machine architecture enables flexible adaptations and meets the highest requirements for quality, documentation and repeatability.
