March, 18, 2026 - BMB, a family-owned Injection Molding Machine Manufacturer located in Brescia, Italy, is preparing its appearance at Plast 2026 exhibition, to take place in Milan from June 9 to 12. The company, founded in 1967, has invested heavily in the development of new models of electric and hybrid machines to meet the demands of clients for productivity, quality, energy-efficiency and stable operation.

During the Plast Press Tour 2026, organized by Promaplast srl, a group of 25 journalists from 13 countries visited the headquarters and manufacturing facilities of BMB in Brescia. The visit included a presentation of the company by Eng. Marco Bugatti (photo, right), Vice-President, as well as a welcome message conveyed by Mr. Egídio Bugatti (photo, center), the company founder and President of the company. Press representatives could also learn first-hand from Mr. Lucio Strappazzon (photo, left), Sales Manager, about the main launches to be displayed during Plast 2026

The first exhibit at Plast 2026 is a eKW45HP/3450WP Hybrid machine for high-productivity packaging applications which will produce a 30 ml polypropylene medical cup in a 48 cavities mold during the show with a cycle time of 3.0 sec, wall thickness of 0.3 mm and 1.4g part weight. With a totally electric toggle clamping unit, the injection section is hydraulic and uses an accumulator to help fill up mold cavities producing thin-walled parts. According to BMB, the machine Works at high speeds, allowing for short cycle times and increased productivity. It also uses a servo pump for energy-saving purposes. The manufacturer says the series has a large capacity injection unit, precision, speed, robustness and low power consumption, with machines ranging from 160 tons up to 2200 tons clamping force.

The second exhibit is a eKW20Pi/700 fully electric, clean room-ready machine for food packaging applications. The machine will make a 100 ml container in PP, with a wall thickness of 0.4mm in a 4 cavities mold. The cycle time is 3.25 sec. The series can provide clamping forces ranging from 100 to 1,300 tons. It also provides high speed and pressure to fill up cavities producing thin-walled parts. BMB says its machine Works only with direct motor, without any reducer or gear. According to BMB, the machine focuses on efficiency and production costs reduction, offering advantages in terms of power saving, reduced water consumption, significant lowering of noise levels, and minimum lubricant costs due to the use of satellite roller screws working in water cooled sealed oil baths. These features ensure high reliability, repeatability and accuracy, BMB claims.

The third machine to be on display during Plast 2026 is a eKW38Pi/2200 fully electric, energy-saving model for caps & closures manufacturing applications. It will produce a dispenser ring with unscrewing in a 16 cavities mold at a cycle time of 9 sec. According to BMB, the series provides centrally applied clamping force for uniform pressure distribution, electric ejection for precise and controlled unscrewing, full electric drives, roller-recirculating screws replacing traditional ball scres, as well as zero oil usage which ensures a clean production environment.

The last IMM to presented at the Milanese show next June is a eKW28Pi/1300 high speed injection machine for food packaging applications. This hybrid equipment will manufacture a 250ml food container in a 4 cavities mold, decorated with IML technology. The cycle time is 3.2 sec and the wall thickness is 0.35 mm. According to BMB, the machine is equipped with an iQ-Pump technology, achieving 15-20% energy reduction. It displays direct-drive motors for precision and speed while also being Industry 4.0 ready for digital integration.

The visit to BMB facilities included a tour across the four production lines covering three production plants. The first two plants are dedicated to the assembly and test of the KW160-3500 tonnes machines, the eKW100-1150 tonnes Full Electric machines and the Hybrid eKW160-2200 tonnes machines. In the third brand new unit, the company assembles and tests the very large machines KX series over 2000 tonnes clamp force.
