Consumer Packaging

The consumer packaging sector is characterized by an enormous variety of blow-moulded articles on the market. The high flexibility and modular design of new HESTA ensure that we can cover these requirements with the optimal customer solution.

Over time, three main areas of this industry have emerged, each with its own distinct requirements:

In the design-driven cosmetics sector, aesthetics and haptics are of the utmost importance. High-end PET-G flacons, optionally featuring a heavy base, create the unmistakable appearance of glass. We have been an established standard in their manufacturing for decades. Soft-touch finishes provide an unmatched tactile experience, while DeCo2 (2-layer technology) is used for the optical refinement of blow-moulded articles.

In large-scale production of personal care products (shower gel, shampoo), cost efficiency is a top priority despite high quality requirements. Minimal wall thicknesses achieved with our proven nozzle heads contribute significantly to material savings and, consequently, to competitiveness. Automation concepts enable our customers to run shifts with minimal staffing while maintaining maximum efficiency. Multi-shift production (e.g., ABA or ABC) allows for a high proportion of recycled materials (PCR) while maintaining an attractive design.

Containers for chemicals such as household cleaners are produced using our multi-layer heads, providing comprehensive protection against toxic and chemical fill goods. They prevent permeation and extend shelf life.

Industrial Packaging

The industrial packaging sector is characterized by complex designs and a wide variety of product variants with small batch sizes. With our new HESTA quick-change system, our customers achieve minimal setup times. For high production volumes and few setup operations, we offer automation concepts that enable operations with minimal staffing to run at maximum efficiency. HESTA machines are known for their high repeatability even during changeovers.

Our unique Vario-head technology enables our customers to produce sight-stripe containers, such as oil bottles and oil canisters. Furthermore, this technology allows for a quick and cost-effective conversion of an existing monocomponent head into a sight-stripe head.

Thanks to our patented new HESTA HES (Stroke Adjustment System) and reproducible clamping force during every closing cycle, handle bottles and handle canisters can be manufactured in the highest quality.

Whether you install the new HESTA machine inside a cleanroom or create a cleanroom environment solely around the machine's production area, you can rely on our long-standing know-how for both options.

Stringent quality requirements in the pharmaceutical industry—such as leak testing and various camera applications for 100% black-spot inspection—are indispensable and can be seamlessly integrated into your customized solution. Product data acquisition and documentation comply with standard GMP requirements in extrusion blow moulding.

Automotive Parts

In the automotive parts sector, we serve customers with complex, high-volume products, ranging from traditional automotive parts to stackable canisters, bellows, fuel tanks, and exhaust systems.

We also feature all-electric accumulator head machines in our portfolio for this industry. Controlling various core pulls (electric, pneumatic, hydraulic), integrating PWDS (partial wall thickness control), or managing robot handling systems can be implemented effortlessly thanks to our open yet superior control system. The possibilities here are virtually endless. Anything that can be blow-moulded can be produced with new HESTA in accordance with our modular machine portfolio.

Our all-electric accumulator head machine impresses not only with the famously small footprint characteristic of all new HESTA systems, but also sets new benchmarks in energy consumption. Thanks to our patented toggle-lever clamping unit, no energy is required to maintain the clamping force during the entire blow and cooling process. Whether needle blowing, 3D suction blow moulding, or 2-component manufacturing (hard-soft combinations), we ensure your production runs reliably.

Technical Parts

The Technical Parts division encompasses a wide variety of products. From major appliances, bellows, bowling pins, furniture, ice packs, and balls to giant kayaks or small Bobby Car and wheelbarrow wheels—we can accommodate this wide variety with our modular system.
