KIEFEL GmbH

Kiefel is a market leader in the design and manufacture of polymer and natural fiber processing machines, automation and tools for the medical engineering & pharma, refrigerator, and packaging industries. We offer turnkey solutions and provide support as your partners from product development through manufacture of machines and tools to after-sales service.

Our technology solutions include machine series which allow for processing traditional, bio-based and recycled polymer materials, such as PET, PP, PLA, PS, PE, rPET and C-PET, offering high production speeds and quality product ensuring the highest possible output at a low production cost.

The SPEEDFORMER KTR Series produce high-end quality polymer cups and coffee capsules, including the KTR 5.2 machine, and new KTR 6.2 machine offering up to 50% more output at the same footprint & quality, stronger punching force and new advanced stacking & automation solutions for faster production.

We provide you with the right stacking & automation solutions for your SPEEDFORMER KTR, from stacking solutions such as the SPEEDSTACKER (fully automatic stacking and packaging) or the Pick-Up Stacker (to perfect the removal times of the products from the thermoforming machine) to intelligent automation such as the Modular Cup Packer (MCP) (for horizontal packing), the RIMMROLLER (to refine and perfect a round, smooth and secure rim of any cup) or the Vertipacker (for vertical packaging with a minimal footprint, enabling effective, simple and fast packing of cup stacks into boxes).

The SPEEDFORMER KMD Series produce polymer trays, containers, hinged boxes, pallets, blisters, lids and technical packaging. Among its solutions, the SPEEDFORMER KMD 78.2 Power machine allows customers to benefit from an easy installation of existing tools.

Kiefel also provides you with the right stacking & automation solutions for your SPEEDFORMER KMD. Count on efficient stacking solutions such as Pick & Place, A/B stacking, tip stacking or stacking up/down. The Kiefel SPEEDAUTOMATION (KSA) is a modular, standard automation solution for the KMD series, in especially for the SPEEDFORMER KMD 78.2 Speed. The standardized automation is supplemented by customer-specific solutions such as the SPEEDPACKER (KSP) and the SPEEDPADDER (KSD).

Kiefel also accompanies brand-owners and converters who want to efficiently produce sustainable packaging made of natural fibers, such as lids and sip-lids, coffee capsules, bowls, cups, and flower pots, among others. Our fiber thermoforming machine portfolio, based on wet fiber technology, includes the compact KFT Lab machine for research and development purposes as well as the versatile NATUREFORMER KFT 90.1 for a wide variety of fiber packaging and the NATUREFORMER KFL 90.1 for large-scale production of high-end lids & portion cups.

We are once again expanding our portfolio to include the possibility of transforming dry natural fibers into high-quality packaging. Come and see the quality of various product examples for yourself at our stand and look forward to a first insight into our KFD 75 technology.

Our team of experts offers support from the beginning, from material research and testing, to complete turnkey projects, product development and technology demonstrations at its Customer Innovation Centers in Europe and the US. With a global network of experienced technicians, prompt after-sales support is ensured to maximize system up-time and productivity.
