EP-ZQ135 Full Technical Specifications<\/h2>\n

The UIB180 represents the limits of the UIB series: a 65 mm screw, 560 g injection weight, 3 barrel zones, a single hydraulic circuit and a 1050 mm platen \u2014 all developed from American IBM design conventions and UL-qualified for North American markets. The EP-ZQ135 is the full deployment of European IBM architecture at the same output scale: 70 mm screw, 650 g injection weight, 6+N barrel zones, dual independent 37 kW hydraulic circuits, a 1300 mm platen and CE marking. Where the UIB series reaches its ceiling, the EP-ZQ135 provides specification headroom above that ceiling \u2014 in a machine envelope that is shorter, narrower and lower than the UIB180.

Cavity Output at Each Volume Size<\/h2>\n

The UIB180 class is primarily specified for the largest-volume personal care lines \u2014 shampoo, body wash and conditioner at 500 ml and above \u2014 and high-output pharmaceutical syrup bottle production. The EP-ZQ135 covers this range and, by virtue of its 1300 mm platen \u2014 250 mm longer than the UIB180 \u2014 opens a 30-cavity configuration at 10 ml and a 10-cavity count at 500 ml that the UIB180 platform constrains. At 100 ml, 18 cavities per cycle position the EP-ZQ135 as a credible pharmaceutical oral liquid line machine at a scale the UIB180 platform does not document.<\/p>\n

Where the EP-ZQ135 Exceeds the UIB180 Design Ceiling<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

6+N Barrel Zones vs 3 Zones \u2014 The Widest Melt Control in Commercial IBM<\/h3>\n

The UIB180 uses a 3-zone barrel \u2014 a design inherited from the UIB series origin and adequate for HDPE and PP in a single temperature range. The EP-ZQ135 uses six independently controlled zones plus additional nozzle-area zones across the 70 mm screw length. At 30-cavity production rates, thermal variation between barrel positions propagates directly to gram-weight variation between cavity positions. The 6+N configuration minimises this propagation \u2014 and enables processing of PCTG and bio-based PLA at full-scale output where the 3-zone UIB180 barrel cannot maintain the temperature uniformity these resins require.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

1300 mm Platen vs 1050 mm \u2014 30 Cavities Now Reachable<\/h3>\n

The UIB180 platen is 1050 mm long. The EP-ZQ135 platen is 1300 mm \u2014 250 mm longer. At the top of the UIB series, platen length is the single specification that most constrains per-cycle output at small bottle volumes. The extra 250 mm on the EP-ZQ135 enables 30 cavities at 10 ml \u2014 a count that represents the ceiling of what horizontal IBM mold layout engineering can achieve at this platen width, and a count the UIB180 platen geometry cannot reach.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Dual 37 kW Circuits vs Single Circuit \u2014 Operating Cost Over Machine Life<\/h3>\n

The UIB180 single hydraulic circuit \u2014 sized to carry the combined injection and blow clamping load \u2014 runs at or near full load during the active phase of each cycle. The EP-ZQ135 uses two independent 37 kW circuits, each operating at partial load simultaneously. At 95 kW total installed capacity with a 52 to 70% operating ratio, the per-shift energy cost on a high-volume line running 24 hours is lower than a single-circuit UIB180-class arrangement at equivalent output. Over a ten-year machine service life on a three-shift personal care line, this operating ratio difference accumulates into a significant total cost of ownership differential.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

650 g vs 560 g \u2014 16% More Injection Weight<\/h3>\n

The UIB180 delivers approximately 560 g injection weight from a 65 mm screw. The EP-ZQ135 delivers 650 g from a 70 mm screw \u2014 16% more. For lines producing HDPE shampoo bottles at 1000 ml and above, the UIB180 injection weight is at or near the ceiling for heavier-gauge specifications. The EP-ZQ135 at 650 g provides headroom above that ceiling, removing the constraint that would otherwise force a custom UIB specification or a move outside the standard UIB range.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Smaller and Lower: 5.5 x 2 x 2.4 m vs 6 x 2.2 x 2.7 m<\/h3>\n

The UIB180 at 6 x 2.2 x 2.7 m is a large machine by any standard \u2014 its 2.7 m installed height requires either purpose-built high-clearance buildings or structural modifications to accommodate it in standard industrial stock. The EP-ZQ135 at 5.5 x 2 x 2.4 m is 0.5 m shorter, 0.2 m narrower and 0.3 m lower. At 2.4 m height it installs in standard 2.7 m ceiling industrial buildings with clearance for maintenance access \u2014 the UIB180 cannot offer the same clearance in the same building.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

CE Marking \u2014 Standard Equipment, Not an Upgrade<\/h3>\n

At the UIB180 scale, machines serve production lines with 10 to 15-year service lives in pharmaceutical and personal care facilities subject to GMP and regulatory audit. CE compliance is not optional in these environments for EU, UK, Australian and regulated Asian markets \u2014 it is a procurement and installation prerequisite. The EP-ZQ135 provides full CE documentation as standard equipment rather than as a post-installation certification process, which the UL-marked UIB180 would require for these markets.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n \"EP-ZQ135\n<\/div>\n

Component Supply Chain \u2014 Built for 24-Hour Multi-Shift Reliability<\/h2>\n

At the UIB180 scale, machines typically run 24-hour production schedules on GMP-qualified pharmaceutical and personal care lines where a single hydraulic seal failure can halt an entire shift. The EP-ZQ135 dual hydraulic system specifies Ekor pumps and HALLITE seals (both from Western Europe) for each of the two independent 37 kW circuits \u2014 providing redundant supply chain resilience and global distributor availability that UIB180-specific North American parts cannot match for users outside that region. Festo pneumatic valves, Gefran linear encoders and Schneider electrical components complete a component base with distributor coverage across Europe, the Middle East, South-East Asia and Latin America.<\/p>\n

Material Range at Flagship Scale<\/h2>\n

The UIB180 primarily processes HDPE and PP at high volume. The EP-ZQ135 covers this base and extends it in ways the UIB180 cannot: the 6+N barrel zones enable PCTG and PLA at 30-cavity rates where the UIB180 3-zone barrel introduces thermal variation; the 650 g injection weight covers heavier-gauge HDPE specifications at 1000 to 2000 ml that the UIB180 approaches its limit on; and the CE documentation supports EU-market material sustainability declarations that are increasingly required alongside machine compliance certificates for pharmaceutical and premium personal care packaging lines.<\/p>\n

Tooling at UIB180 Scale \u2014 What Changes with the EP-ZQ135<\/h2>\n

UIB180 operators moving to the EP-ZQ135 should plan for a full tooling re-commission. UIB180 tooling does not transfer: the clamping geometry differs and the 1300 mm EP-ZQ135 platen is 250 mm longer than the UIB180. New injection and blow molds for the ZQ135 geometry are required regardless. The tooling investment, however, is the same whether replacing like-for-like or stepping to a wider-platen machine \u2014 and the EP-ZQ135 re-commission is the point at which 30-cavity configurations become available for the first time, a count structurally impossible on the 1050 mm UIB180 platen. The 280 mm stripping stroke \u2014 the largest in the ZQ range \u2014 also enables tall pharmaceutical jar formats that may have required custom UIB modifications. Ever Power provides mold layout recommendations, hot runner balancing specifications for 30-cavity configurations and full tooling specifications during the quotation process.<\/p>\n

1300 mm Platen \u2014 30-Cavity Layout Now Reachable<\/h3>\n

At 1300 mm versus 1050 mm for the UIB180, the EP-ZQ135 platen provides the horizontal layout space for a 30-cavity configuration at 10 ml \u2014 the maximum achievable in horizontal IBM mold geometry and a count the UIB180 platform cannot accommodate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

280 mm Stripping Stroke \u2014 Tallest Jar Formats Supported<\/h3>\n

The 280 mm stripping stroke \u2014 the longest in the ZQ range \u2014 provides ejection clearance for tall pharmaceutical jars and wide-mouth supplement containers that may have required custom stroke modifications on UIB180 installations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Production Line at 30-Cavity Scale<\/h2>\n

The EP-ZQ135 is designed as the central production unit in the highest-throughput IBM bottle lines. At 30 cavities the downstream inspection, filling and packing capacity must be matched to the EP-ZQ135 output rate; Ever Power provides complete turnkey line proposals including equipment sizing for this output level. The smaller machine footprint versus the UIB180 \u2014 0.5 m shorter, 0.2 m narrower and 0.3 m lower \u2014 also gives downstream equipment designers more layout flexibility than a UIB180 installation allows.

Questions UIB180 Operators Ask About the EP-ZQ135<\/h2>\n
\n
\nAt UIB180 scale, what is the long-term energy cost difference between the dual-circuit EP-ZQ135 and a single-circuit UIB180?<\/summary>\n
The UIB180 single hydraulic circuit carries the combined injection and blow clamping demand in each cycle, running near full load during the active hydraulic phase. The EP-ZQ135 dual circuit \u2014 two independent 37 kW motors \u2014 runs each circuit at partial load simultaneously, with total operating power at 52 to 70% of the 95 kW installed capacity. On a high-volume personal care line running 24 hours a day, 300 days a year, this operating ratio difference translates to a significant annual energy cost advantage. At 60% utilisation on 95 kW, the EP-ZQ135 draws approximately 57 kW actual versus a single-circuit machine at equivalent output running closer to its installed capacity ceiling. Our technical team can provide a site-specific energy cost model on request.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nCan the EP-ZQ135 reach 30 cavities at 10 ml, and why is this not achievable on the UIB180?<\/summary>\n
Yes. The EP-ZQ135 supports 30 cavities at 10 ml, enabled by the 1300 mm platen \u2014 250 mm longer than the UIB180 platen at 1050 mm. At 10 ml cavity size, horizontal platen length is the binding constraint on maximum cavity count. A 10 ml pharmaceutical vial cavity layout in the horizontal direction requires a minimum platen length that the 1050 mm UIB180 platen cannot accommodate for 30 positions. The EP-ZQ135 at 1300 mm provides the necessary layout space. This is not a parameter that can be achieved on a UIB180 by any other means \u2014 platen length is a fixed physical dimension of the machine.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nHow does the 6+N barrel zone configuration compare to the UIB180 at 30-cavity PCTG and PLA production rates?<\/summary>\n
The UIB180 uses a 3-zone barrel. PCTG and PLA have processing windows narrower than HDPE and PP \u2014 temperature variation between barrel positions produces optical variation and gram-weight differences between cavity positions in a multi-cavity mold. At 30 cavities, thermal variation from a 3-zone barrel propagates through the hot runner and appears as inter-cavity differences that are difficult to eliminate by hot runner adjustment alone. The EP-ZQ135 6+N configuration provides six independently controlled zones, reducing this propagation at source. Pharmaceutical and premium cosmetic packaging lines increasingly specify PCTG for clarity and PLA for sustainability \u2014 the EP-ZQ135 is the machine in this output class with the barrel zone configuration to handle both at full 30-cavity production rates.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nDoes the EP-ZQ135 fit within the building clearances required by the UIB180?<\/summary>\n
The EP-ZQ135 at 5.5 x 2 x 2.4 m is smaller in all three dimensions than the UIB180 at 6 x 2.2 x 2.7 m. Replacing a UIB180 with an EP-ZQ135 in an existing installation reduces the machine footprint, frees 0.3 m of ceiling clearance, and allows downstream equipment to be repositioned closer to the machine. The UIB180 at 2.7 m installed height requires a clear internal height of approximately 3.2 m for standard overhead maintenance access; the EP-ZQ135 at 2.4 m requires approximately 2.9 m \u2014 a difference that determines whether the machine fits standard industrial building stock or requires a purpose-built high-clearance structure.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n
\nWhat CE documentation does the EP-ZQ135 provide for a GMP-qualified pharmaceutical or personal care line?<\/summary>\n
The EP-ZQ135 is CE marked under the EU Machinery Directive. Documentation provided with the machine includes the Declaration of Conformity, CE marking certificate and technical file summary. The full technical file is available for GMP qualification audit review. This documentation satisfies the CE compliance requirements for pharmaceutical and personal care packaging equipment in the EU, UK, Australia and regulated Asian markets \u2014 the direct procurement path that the UL-marked UIB180 cannot provide for these markets without a post-installation re-certification programme.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n
