European-Architecture Injection Blow Molding — 110 Tonne Class
5+N Barrel Zones, Dual Hydraulics and a 200 mm Wider Platen — CE-Certified Option in the Uniloy UIB150 Class
The EP-ZQ110 is independently engineered in the same capacity class as the Uniloy UIB150 — cited only to assist buyers in comparing specifications, with no affiliation to Uniloy. It brings 5+N barrel zone temperature control, dual independent hydraulic circuits, CE marking and a platen 200 mm longer than the UIB150 class to this tonnage level.
EP-ZQ110 vs Uniloy UIB150 — Specification Comparison
The UIB150 is the larger end of the Uniloy mid-range, typically found on high-volume personal care shampoo lines, large pharmaceutical syrup and nutritional supplement jar production. At this tonnage, the decisions made during machine specification — platen length, barrel zone count, hydraulic circuit architecture — have a direct and measurable impact on daily output, per-shift energy cost, product consistency across all cavities and the total cost of long-term GMP-qualified operation. The EP-ZQ110 approaches this class from a European engineering starting point that differs from the UIB150 in all four of these areas.

EP-ZQ110 Full Technical Specifications
Four specification differences separate the EP-ZQ110 from the UIB150 at this tonnage class. First, barrel heating zones: the UIB150 uses 3 zones; the EP-ZQ110 uses 5+N, providing finer independent melt temperature control across the full screw length — critical for PCTG and PLA at 24-cavity production rates. Second, hydraulic architecture: two independent 22 kW circuits versus the UIB150 single circuit. Third, platen length: 1100 mm versus 900 mm — the 200 mm difference is the structural enabler for the 24-cavity configuration at 10 ml. Fourth, compliance: CE marking from the factory versus UL/ANSI qualification for North American markets. Full specifications are below. See the complete range at the IBM machines overview.

Cavity Output at Each Volume Size
The UIB150 class is primarily specified for large shampoo, conditioner and nutritional supplement jar lines in the 250 to 1000 ml range. The EP-ZQ110 covers this range fully and extends the platform at both ends: to 2000 ml with its 540 g injection weight headroom, and to 24 cavities at 10 ml enabled by the 200 mm longer platen. At 100 ml — the common specification for supplement jars and oral liquid bottles — the EP-ZQ110 supports 14 cavities per cycle, a count constrained by the UIB150 platen geometry to fewer positions.
| Volume | 10 ml | 30 ml | 60 ml | 100 ml | 250 ml | 500 ml | 1000 ml |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Cavities | 24 | 22 | 18 | 14 | 10 | 8 | 6 |
For reference only. Actual cavity count depends on mold design and bottle geometry.
Four Structural Differences Between the EP-ZQ110 and the UIB150
1. Barrel Zones: 5+N vs 3 — Finer Melt Temperature Control
The UIB150 uses three barrel heating zones, a configuration inherited from earlier IBM design practice. The EP-ZQ110 uses five independently controlled zones plus additional nozzle-area zones. At the 65 mm screw diameter and 24-cavity output rate, the additional zones allow finer independent temperature profiling across the full screw length. This matters most when processing PCTG and PLA — resins with narrow processing windows where a 5-degree variation between barrel zones can produce visible clarity differences between cavity positions in a 24-position mold.
2. Platen Length: 1100 mm vs 900 mm — 24 Cavities at 10 ml Enabled
The UIB150 platen is 900 mm long. The EP-ZQ110 platen is 1100 mm — 200 mm longer. At small bottle volumes where cavity count is the primary throughput multiplier, horizontal platen length is the binding constraint. The 200 mm additional length on the EP-ZQ110 is the structural reason it reaches 24 cavities at 10 ml and 22 at 30 ml, counts that the 900 mm UIB150 platen cannot accommodate in a standard horizontal layout.
3. Hydraulic Architecture: Dual Independent Circuits vs Single Circuit
The UIB150 single hydraulic circuit services both injection-clamping and blow-clamping from one pump and motor assembly. The EP-ZQ110 uses two independent 22 kW circuits — one per clamping station — operating simultaneously at partial load rather than one circuit carrying the combined peak demand. At 80 kW total installed capacity with a 52 to 70% operating ratio, the per-shift energy saving on a GMP pharmaceutical line running three shifts is a measurable operational cost difference over the machine service life.
4. Compliance: CE vs UL — Export Market and GMP Line Access
The UIB150 carries UL and ANSI compliance for North American markets. The EP-ZQ110 carries CE marking under the EU Machinery Directive — a procurement requirement for pharmaceutical and personal care packaging equipment in the EU, UK, Australia and regulated Asian markets. At the UIB150 tonnage level, where machines typically serve multi-year GMP-qualified production lines, the compliance documentation available from the factory determines where the machine can be installed without additional re-certification cost and delay.
540 g vs 460 g — 17% More Injection Weight
The EP-ZQ110 delivers 540 g injection weight from a 65 mm screw versus approximately 460 g for the UIB150 from a 60 mm screw — 17% more. For lines running HDPE or PP containers in the 500 to 2000 ml range, this additional injection weight capacity removes the UIB150 constraint at the top of its volume range and provides headroom for heavier-gauge wall specifications without stepping to a UIB180-class machine.
Smaller Footprint: 5 x 1.8 x 2.2 m vs 5.5 x 2 x 2.5 m
The EP-ZQ110 is 0.5 m shorter, 0.2 m narrower and 0.3 m lower than the UIB150 class. At 2.2 m installed height it fits within the 2.5 m ceiling clearance found in most standard industrial buildings — the UIB150 at 2.5 m requires ceiling clearance that begins to challenge standard building stock. For multi-machine personal care filling halls, the 0.2 m width reduction across a row of machines compounds into significant floor space savings.
Component Origins — European Supply Chain at UIB150 Scale
At the UIB150 tonnage level, machines typically run three-shift GMP pharmaceutical or personal care lines where unplanned downtime has direct compliance and commercial consequences. The EP-ZQ110 dual hydraulic system uses Ekor pumps (Germany) and HALLITE seals (England) across both independent circuits — components available from industrial distributors throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East without the procurement delays that UIB150-specific North American parts can introduce. Festo pneumatic valves (Germany) and Gefran position sensors (Italy) complete the precision motion control for the high-precision angle divider and dual-circuit operation at 24-cavity production rates.

Material Range and Production Applications
The UIB150 class principally processes HDPE and PP in the 250 to 1000 ml personal care and nutritional supplement range. The EP-ZQ110 covers this base with 17% more injection weight and extends it in two directions: the 5+N barrel zone configuration enables PCTG and PLA processing at 24-cavity rates — resins the 3-zone UIB150 barrel cannot temperature-profile with the same precision — and the 540 g injection weight covers 1000 to 2000 ml HDPE containers that require more shot weight than the UIB150 can reliably deliver.

Food — Large Format
Edible oil, honey and condiment containers from 500 to 2000 ml where the 540 g injection weight provides headroom the UIB150 class injection weight does not
Tooling Notes for UIB150 Operators
UIB150 operators considering the EP-ZQ110 should plan for a full tooling re-commission. Existing UIB150 molds do not transfer: the platen is 200 mm longer on the EP-ZQ110, the clamping geometry differs and the hot runner configuration for 24 cavities requires individual flow-path calculation and gate temperature control that a UIB150 mold was not designed for. The tooling investment is the same regardless — new molds are required for any machine replacement at this tonnage. The EP-ZQ110 tooling re-commission provides the opportunity to lay out a 24-cavity configuration at 10 ml that the UIB150 platen geometry could not achieve, immediately increasing per-shift output potential beyond the previous UIB150 installation. Ever Power can provide mold layout recommendations and tooling specifications during the quotation process.
200 mm Longer Platen — 24-Cavity Layout Now Possible
The 1100 mm EP-ZQ110 platen provides 200 mm more horizontal layout space than the UIB150. This is the primary enabler for commissioning a 24-cavity mold at 10 ml that was structurally not achievable on the narrower UIB150 platen.
24-Position Hot Runner — Individual Gate Control
Individual gate temperature control and flow-path balancing across 24 positions maintains gram-weight deviation within specification from position 1 to position 24 at full production rate — particularly important for PCTG and PLA where the 5+N barrel zones support finer melt temperature profiling than the UIB150 3-zone barrel provides.
S136 Steel — Long Cycle Life Under GMP Conditions
Injection mold bodies from imported S136 high-strength alloy steel provide the surface finish and dimensional stability required for GMP pharmaceutical tooling under the extended high-cycle operation typical of three-shift UIB150-class production schedules.
Production Line Configuration
The EP-ZQ110 installs as the central IBM machine in a high-throughput personal care or pharmaceutical packaging line. Its substantially smaller footprint versus the UIB150 — 0.5 m shorter, 0.2 m narrower and 0.3 m lower — simplifies clean-room ceiling clearance planning and reduces the floor area consumed in multi-machine halls. At 24 cavities, downstream inspection and packing capacity must be matched to the EP-ZQ110 output rate; Ever Power provides complete turnkey line proposals including equipment sizing.
