Introduction
As an industrial packaging machines manufacturer, LEKA engineers machines for the production of plastic packaging that combine versatility, production speed, safety, and efficiency. Our platforms integrate next-generation automation, robotics, and digitalisation to streamline operations across SKUs and shifts.
Computer-based monitoring systems visualize process parameters in real time, automatically surfacing deviations and potential non-compliances. Operators get clear guidance to correct trends before defects propagate.
With compatibility for biopolymers and recycled materials and options for fully electric-powered machines, lines can deliver lighter packaging while reducing the overall environmental footprint.
Manufacturing Technologies
Extrusion Blow-Moulding (EBM)
Ideal for HDPE/PP bottles and jerrycans. Our Extrusion Blow Molding Machine series features multi-point parison thickness control and optional barrier heads (EVOH) for consistent top-load and material savings.
Injection Blow-Moulding (IBM)
Best for small, high-precision bottles and vials in pharma and cosmetics. Injection-formed necks ensure dimensional accuracy where finish tolerances and clarity are critical.
Stretch Blow-Moulding (SBM)
The go-to for PET/rPET beverage and personal-care containers. Every LEKA Stretch Blow Molding Machine delivers bi-axial orientation for high clarity and superior lightweighting.
Which process fits your container?
Use the matrix below to map volume, material, barrier needs, and energy profile to the most suitable process.
| Decision factor | EBM | IBM | SBM |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical volume | 50–5000 ml | 5–100 ml | 100–3000 ml |
| Main materials | HDPE/PP/PA, PCR rHDPE | PP/PE/COC/COP | PET/rPET, PETG |
| Barrier options | Mono to 6+ layers (EVOH) | Mono | Mono (via preform) |
| Weight control | Closed-loop parison thickness | Injection-defined neck | Preform stretch ratio |
| Typical use | HDPE bottles, jerrycans | Pharma/cosmetic vials | Beverage, edible oil |
Automation & Digitalisation
Integrated robotics automate de-flashing, leak testing, vision inspection, and case packing. Our digitalization layer unifies sensors for recipe control and audit trails.
Computer-based monitoring provides real-time alerts for non-compliances like weight drift or parison offsets.
Energy & Sustainability
Lines support biopolymers and recycled materials to reduce impact. Selected platforms are available as fully electric-powered machines, reducing energy use and noise.
Benchmarked to best practices across Italy, the United States, and Germany.
