Cavity Configuration Guide
The EP-ZQ60 delivers 14 cavities at 10 ml and 8 at 100 ml, serving high-volume pharmaceutical oral liquid and cosmetic packaging lines. At 500 ml, 3 cavities support efficient mid-volume production. The machine supports bottle volumes from 1 ml to 2000 ml — extending the upper range beyond the ZQ40.
| Volume | 10 ml | 30 ml | 60 ml | 100 ml | 250 ml | 500 ml | 1000 ml |

Engineering Features of the EP-ZQ60
600 kN vs 500 kN — 20% Higher Clamping Force
The EP-ZQ60 provides 600 kN injection clamping force versus 500 kN for the BLOMA IBM50 — 20% higher — through a European-style pressurized clamping structure where the booster cylinder acts independently from mold-open and mold-close movements. This also lowers the hydraulic duty cycle per shot, reducing energy use relative to installed capacity.
Higher Injection Weight: 260/383 g vs 240 g
At 260 to 383 g versus 240 g for the BLOMA IBM50, the EP-ZQ60 supports heavier preforms — 8 to 60% more injection weight depending on screw choice. The 45 mm screw suits standard pharmaceutical and cosmetic resins; the 50 mm screw is optimised for higher-throughput HDPE and PP production at the upper volume range.
Substantially Smaller: 3.8 x 1.4 x 1.8 m vs 4.7 x 1.6 x 2.55 m
The EP-ZQ60 is 0.9 m shorter, 0.2 m narrower and 0.75 m lower than the BLOMA IBM50 class — a significant reduction across all three dimensions that simplifies installation in standard-height pharmaceutical clean rooms and constrained production floors, while maintaining a higher clamping force and injection weight.
Extended Volume Range to 2000 ml
The EP-ZQ60 supports bottle volumes from 1 ml to 2000 ml, extending beyond the ZQ40 and covering large household and food-service container formats alongside standard pharmaceutical and cosmetic vial sizes. Twin screw options provide flexibility across this extended range.
14 Cavities at 10 ml
With a 600 x 390 mm platen and 4-second dry cycle, the EP-ZQ60 supports up to 14 cavities at 10 ml — providing the per-shift output needed for pharmaceutical oral liquid vial production without stepping to the larger ZQ80 class.
Zero Scrap Three-Station Process
Injection, blowing and stripping occur simultaneously in separate stations. No parting-line flash, no gate mark and no trim waste — material utilisation approaches 100% per cycle, particularly valuable when processing expensive engineering resins such as PCTG and PLA.
Key Components and Supplier Origins
The EP-ZQ60 uses the same internationally validated component supply chain as all ZQ-series machines. Schneider contactors from France, HALLITE seals from England, Festo air valves from Germany and Gefran position sensors from Italy combine with Hongxun servo drives from Taiwan for sustained reliability.

Mold Design for the EP-ZQ60
The EP-ZQ60 max platen of 600 x 390 mm is closely comparable to the 620 x 430 mm of the BLOMA IBM50 class, enabling similar multi-cavity mold arrangements using purpose-designed Ever Power ZQ60 tooling. Injection mold bodies use 4Cr13 stainless or S136 alloy steel, with optional magnesium-aluminium blow mold bodies for high-speed pharmaceutical production.
Comparable Platen to BLOMA IBM50
At 600 x 390 mm the EP-ZQ60 platen closely matches the 620 x 430 mm of the BLOMA IBM50, enabling comparable cavity layout strategies using ZQ60-specific Ever Power 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 machined to tolerance for 100% cap seal engagement across all cavities. No flash on bottle mouth or base. Weight, wall thickness and dimensions are consistent across the full mold.
Production Line Integration
The EP-ZQ60 operates as the central machine in a complete bottle production line. Ever Power supplies whole-line turnkey proposals covering upstream material handling and downstream labelling, filling, capping and packing for both new installations and capacity expansion projects.
