Key Engineering Features<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

400 kN vs 386 kN \u2014 Higher Clamping Capacity<\/h3>\n

The EP-ZQ40 provides 400 kN injection clamping force versus 386 kN in the SUMA 40iB class. The full European-style pressurized clamping structure achieves this through a booster cylinder that operates independently from the mold-open and mold-close actions, contributing to both higher force and lower energy consumption per cycle.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Higher Injection Weight: 190\/260 g vs 169 g<\/h3>\n

At 190 g to 260 g versus 169 g for the SUMA 40iB class, the EP-ZQ40 supports heavier preforms within the same tonnage, providing more flexibility when producing larger bottles at the upper end of the 1 to 1500 ml volume range or when processing higher-density engineering polymers.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Smaller Footprint: 3.5 x 1.3 x 1.7 m<\/h3>\n

At 3.5 x 1.3 x 1.7 m the EP-ZQ40 is smaller than the 3.8 x 1.5 x 2.3 m profile of the SUMA 40iB class in all three dimensions, enabling higher equipment density in existing production floor plans and simplified installation in standard ceiling-height facilities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Standard Servo Rotary Drive<\/h3>\n

Servo-driven rotation is included as standard equipment on all EP-ZQ40 machines, simplifying the drive train, reducing mechanical maintenance requirements and improving positioning accuracy across the three-station cycle.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

3.5 s Dry Cycle<\/h3>\n

A 3.5-second dry cycle supports high-frequency operation across all cavity configurations. At 9 cavities, this translates to sustained throughput for pharmaceutical vial lines running extended production shifts.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Zero Scrap Three-Station Process<\/h3>\n

Injection, blowing and stripping all occur simultaneously in separate stations. No parting-line flash, no gate mark and no trim waste \u2014 material utilisation approaches 100% per cycle, reducing per-unit resin cost across all supported materials.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n \"EP-ZQ40\n<\/div>\n

Key Components and Supplier Origins<\/h2>\n

The EP-ZQ40 is assembled with internationally validated components. Hydraulic seals from England, pneumatic valves from Germany, position sensors from Italy and servo drives from Taiwan provide a reliable and serviceable component base for long-term production operation.<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n
\n
\nHow does the EP-ZQ40 injection weight compare to the SUMA 40iB?<\/summary>\n
The EP-ZQ40 provides 190 to 260 g injection weight versus 169 g for the SUMA 40iB, a difference of 12 to 54% depending on screw selection. This higher injection capacity allows the EP-ZQ40 to produce heavier preforms within the 40-tonne class, supporting larger bottle formats and denser materials without stepping to a larger machine.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat materials can the EP-ZQ40 process?<\/summary>\n
HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS (including lactic acid bacteria grades), high-clarity PS, ABS, bio-based PLA, EVA and PCTG, producing containers from 1 ml to 1500 ml across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and daily-care packaging applications.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat bottle sizes and cavity counts does the EP-ZQ40 support?<\/summary>\n
Up to 9 cavities at 10 ml, 8 at 30 ml, 6 at 60 ml, 4 at 100 ml, 3 at 250 ml, 2 at 500 ml and 1 at 1000 ml. Maximum bottle diameter is 120 mm and maximum bottle height is 220 mm.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nDoes the EP-ZQ40 carry CE certification?<\/summary>\n
Yes. The EP-ZQ40 is CE marked, confirming conformity with applicable European machinery safety and electromagnetic compatibility directives. CE documentation is available with the machine and on request in advance for import and procurement compliance purposes.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat auxiliary equipment is recommended with the EP-ZQ40?<\/summary>\n
A screw air compressor or standard air compressor, chiller, mold temperature controller and auto loader are the core ancillaries. Downstream, a bottle visual inspection machine and packing machine complete the line. Ever Power supplies full turnkey lines or individual ancillary equipment to complement existing setups.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n
