EP-ZQ40 Full Technical Specifications
The EP-ZQ40 is the entry model in the Ever Power ZQ series. With twin 40/45 mm screw options, 400 kN injection clamping force and a 3.5-second dry cycle, it is notably more compact than the BLOMA IBM45 class in all three dimensions — 0.55 m shorter in length, 0.22 m narrower and 0.85 m lower — while delivering higher clamping force and injection weight.

Cavity Configuration Guide
The EP-ZQ40 supports up to 9 cavities at 10 ml for pharmaceutical vial production and 2 cavities at 500 ml for mid-volume personal care bottles. The 480 x 340 mm platen is wider in one dimension than the BLOMA IBM45 class, enabling compact multi-cavity layouts for small and medium bottles.
| Volume | 10 ml | 30 ml | 60 ml | 100 ml | 250 ml | 500 ml | 1000 ml |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cavità massime | 9 | 8 | 6 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 |
Solo a titolo di riferimento. Il numero effettivo di cavità dipende dal design dello stampo e dalla geometria della bottiglia.
Engineering Features of the EP-ZQ40
400 kN vs 350 kN — 14% Higher Clamping Force
The EP-ZQ40 provides 400 kN injection clamping force versus 350 kN for the BLOMA IBM45 — approximately 14% higher — through its European-style pressurized clamping structure where the booster cylinder operates independently from the mold-open action, also reducing energy consumption per cycle.
Higher Injection Weight: 190/260 g vs 180 g
At 190 to 260 g versus 180 g for the BLOMA IBM45, the EP-ZQ40 supports heavier preforms within the 40-tonne class, providing flexibility for larger bottles in the 1 to 1500 ml range and for higher-density engineering polymers such as PCTG and ABS.
Significantly Smaller Footprint
At 3.5 x 1.3 x 1.7 m the EP-ZQ40 is 0.55 m shorter, 0.22 m narrower and 0.85 m lower than the BLOMA IBM45 class at 4.05 x 1.52 x 2.55 m. This substantially reduces floor area requirements and height clearance — a meaningful advantage in clean-room and standard-height pharmaceutical facilities.
Standard Servo Rotary Drive
Servo-driven rotation is included as standard on all EP-ZQ40 machines, simplifying the drive train, reducing mechanical maintenance requirements and improving positioning accuracy across the three-station injection-blow-strip cycle.
3.5 s Dry Cycle
A 3.5-second dry cycle supports high-frequency output across all cavity configurations. At 9 cavities this translates to sustained throughput for pharmaceutical vial lines running extended production shifts without thermal fatigue on the hydraulic system.
Zero Scrap Three-Station Process
Injection, blowing and stripping all occur simultaneously in separate stations. No parting-line flash, no gate mark and no trim waste — material utilisation approaches 100% per cycle, directly reducing per-unit resin cost.
Key Components and Supplier Origins
The EP-ZQ40 is assembled from internationally validated components. HALLITE hydraulic seals from England, Festo pneumatic valves from Germany, Gefran position sensors from Italy and Schneider electrical contactors from France combine with Hongxun servo drives from Taiwan to deliver reliable long-term performance.

Mold Design and Tooling
Ever Power designs and manufactures ZQ40-compatible injection blow molds from 4Cr13 stainless or imported S136 alloy steel. The 480 x 340 mm platen is dimensionally close to the 450 x 390 mm of the BLOMA IBM45 class, enabling comparable cavity layout strategies using purpose-designed Ever Power tooling.
Comparable Platen Dimensions
The 480 x 340 mm EP-ZQ40 platen area is closely comparable to the 450 x 390 mm of the BLOMA IBM45 class, enabling similar cavity layout strategies using purpose-designed Ever Power ZQ40 tooling.
S136 and 4Cr13 Steel
Injection mold bodies are machined from imported S136 high-strength alloy or 4Cr13 stainless steel. Blow mold bodies are available in magnesium-aluminium alloy for improved thermal conductivity and shorter cooling times.
100% Neck Seal Integrity
Bottle neck and thread dimensions are machined to tolerance for 100% cap seal engagement. No flash on bottle mouth or base. Product weight, wall thickness and dimensions are consistent across all cavities.
Production Line Integration
The EP-ZQ40 integrates with a complete downstream production line from raw material feeding to finished carton packing. Ever Power provides whole-line turnkey solutions and can supply individual ancillaries to complement existing production infrastructure.
