EP-ZQ135 Injection Blow Molding Machine

The 70 mm screw with 6+N barrel zones and 200 mm injection stroke delivers a 650 g shot — the largest in the ZQ range. The 1,350 KN injection clamp holds 18-cavity (100 ml) or 30-cavity (10 ml) tooling shut against peak cavity pressure without deflection or flash. The high-precision angle divider fires the 120° index simultaneously with mould opening — the parallel motion that maintains the 4-second dry cycle under maximum load. Heating power at 30 KW covers the highest plasticising demand in the ZQ series.

The blow mould closes with 200 KN clamping force — the highest blow clamp in the ZQ range. The hydraulic double system, standard on the ZQ135, isolates blow-station hydraulic pressure from injection-side demand peaks. Compressed air at 0.7–1.2 MPa expands each preform against the 1,300×500 mm platen-supported cavity wall — the widest mould accommodation in the EP-ZQ range. After cooling, the blow mould opens and the turntable indexes to Station 3.

The 280 mm stripping stroke — the longest in the ZQ range — ejects all 18 (or 30) bottles simultaneously from the cold rods. Dual 37+37 KW motors handle injection and clamping on separate circuits, each with substantial thermal headroom above rated load. Total power at 95 KW supports continuous 24-hour, 7-day operation at maximum cavity count — the operational profile the ZQ135 is specifically designed for.

30 cavities at 10 ml and 18 cavities at 100 ml — no other machine in the EP-ZQ range exceeds these figures. For daily-chemical or pharmaceutical producers where cost-per-bottle is the primary economic lever, maximum cavity count on a zero-scrap process is the most direct route to the lowest unit cost. A ZQ135 running 18-cavity 100 ml HDPE produces approximately 14,000–16,000 bottles per hour depending on material cycle time.

Each 37 KW motor on the ZQ135 operates at approximately 60–70% of its thermal capacity at rated cycle speed and full cavity load — the same headroom margin that premium machine builders use as a design baseline. This is not over-engineering: it is the specification that allows a daily-chemical producer to run the ZQ135 at full output across a 24-hour shift without thermal derating reducing cycle speed, without unscheduled stops, and without the gradual quality drift that accompanies a machine operating at its thermal ceiling.

The 1,300×500 mm platen on the ZQ135 is 18% wider than the ZQ110’s 1,100×460 mm platen. This additional area is not merely about cavity count — it enables tooling engineers to design larger-pitch cavity arrays that improve thermal uniformity across the mould, reducing inter-cavity weight variation below ±0.5 g even at 18 cavities. It also accommodates future-proof tooling designs with inter-cavity cooling channels that the ZQ110’s tighter platen cannot physically fit.

HDPE and PP hand-wash, shampoo, fabric conditioner, and detergent bottles at 100–500 ml for operations targeting 5–10 million units per month from a single machine installation. At 18 cavities (100 ml), the ZQ135 covers this range in 2.5–3 shifts — leaving one shift per day for scheduled maintenance and quality checks, the operational model most FMCG contract packers use for their most efficient lines.

HDPE and PP tablets, capsule, and solid-dose oral liquid containers across 30 ml, 60 ml, 100 ml, and 250 ml formats for major pharmaceutical manufacturers running export-grade GMP production. The ZQ135’s 22-cavity (60 ml) and 18-cavity (100 ml) tooling configurations cover the two highest-volume pharmaceutical bottle formats from a single machine investment. At 1,350 KN injection clamp, flash on any format is structurally prevented.

PS lactic-acid bacterial drink bottles (10–100 ml) at 8–15 million units per month. At 30 cavities (10 ml) and 26 cavities (30 ml), the EP-ZQ135 is the highest single-machine output option for the lactic-acid bacterial drink bottle segment — covering the production requirements of even the largest national dairy brands from a single-machine installation.

PP capsule and tablet bottles (100–500 ml) and HDPE protein-powder containers (1,000 ml) for supplement manufacturers running both formats from a single machine investment. The ZQ135’s 8-cavity (1,000 ml) capability makes it the only model in the ZQ range that can economically produce 1-litre supplement bottles at high monthly volumes.

A Guangdong daily-chemical producer supplying national retail chains with 100 ml and 250 ml HDPE hand-wash bottles at a combined 8 million units per month replaced three legacy EBM machines with a single EP-ZQ135. Running 18-cavity (100 ml) tooling for the main SKU and switching to 14-cavity (250 ml) for the secondary SKU twice per week, the ZQ135 covers the full monthly volume in 2.8 shifts per day. Eliminating three EBM machines reduced the operator headcount by four, cut maintenance contracts to one, and freed 120 square metres of floor space for a new filling line.

A Mumbai pharmaceutical contract packager producing HDPE bottles in 30 ml, 60 ml, and 100 ml formats for European and North American export clients selected the EP-ZQ135 as their primary container production machine after confirming that its 1,350 KN injection clamp was the highest available in the IBM category without moving to purpose-built pharmaceutical machinery at five times the price. All three mould sets — 26-cavity (30 ml), 22-cavity (60 ml), and 18-cavity (100 ml) — were qualified in a single FDA-aligned container validation protocol over six weeks.

A Seoul dairy brand producing their signature 65 ml PS lactic-acid bacterial drink bottle at 12 million units per month selected the EP-ZQ135 as the only IBM machine that could cover their output on a 3-shift, 6-day schedule. Running 26-cavity equivalent tooling for the 65 ml format, the machine produces the full monthly volume in exactly 18 shifts — leaving the remaining shift days for planned maintenance and new-product trials. PS haze values held below 1.2% across six months of continuous production — the client’s most stringent optical specification.

A Dubai supplement manufacturer producing both 100 ml PP capsule bottles and 1,000 ml HDPE protein-powder containers for the GCC and export markets used the EP-ZQ135’s 18-cavity (100 ml) and 8-cavity (1,000 ml) tooling capability to run both formats from a single machine. The 37+37 KW dual-motor configuration sustained consistent cycle times for both formats in the facility’s 45°C summer ambient temperature — a critical requirement that two competing machines had failed to meet during trials. Operating power at the rated 52–70% level confirmed stable thermal performance across the UAE summer operating season.
