EP-ZQ60 Full Technical Specifications
The EP-ZQ60 is the mid-range model in the Ever Power ZQ series. At 600 kN clamping force and with twin 45/50 mm screw options, it handles larger preform weights than the ZQ40 and delivers higher cavity counts — making it the preferred configuration for mid-volume cosmetic and pharmaceutical packaging lines in the 30 to 500 ml range. See the full ZQ range at the IBM machines overview.

Engineering Features of the EP-ZQ60
600 kN vs 580 kN — Higher Clamping Capacity
The EP-ZQ60 provides 600 kN injection clamping force versus 580 kN in the SUMA 65iB class. Combined with the European-style pressurized clamping structure, this delivers improved preform consistency and dimensional stability across all cavity counts.
Higher Injection Weight: 260/383 g vs 169/264 g
The EP-ZQ60 injection weight of 260 to 383 g is substantially higher than the 169 to 264 g of the SUMA 65iB class. This enables heavier preforms for larger bottles and more flexibility when processing higher-density engineering polymers within the same tonnage class.
Smaller Footprint: 3.8 x 1.4 x 1.8 m
At 3.8 x 1.4 x 1.8 m the EP-ZQ60 is smaller than the 4 x 1.7 x 2.3 m profile of the SUMA 65iB class in all three dimensions, simplifying installation in standard industrial buildings and pharmaceutical clean rooms where height clearance is limited.
45 mm and 50 mm Screw Options
Both 45 mm and 50 mm screws are available, versus a 40/50 mm split on the SUMA 65iB. The 45 mm option provides a mid-range plasticising capacity suited to standard pharmaceutical and cosmetic resins, while the 50 mm option is optimised for higher-throughput applications.
Extended Volume Range to 2000 ml
The EP-ZQ60 supports bottles from 1 ml to 2000 ml, extending the upper volume range beyond the ZQ40 and enabling the machine to cover a wider product portfolio including larger household and food-service container formats.
Energy Savings via Pressurized Clamping
The booster cylinder in the EP-ZQ60 clamping system operates independently from the mold-open and mold-close actions, reducing the hydraulic circuit duty cycle and lowering actual operating power consumption to 52 to 70% of the 37 kW installed capacity.
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 hydraulic seals from England, Festo air valves from Germany and Gefran position sensors from Italy combine with Hongxun servo drives from Taiwan to deliver long-term reliability.

Mold Design for the EP-ZQ60
The EP-ZQ60 max platen of 600 x 390 mm is closely comparable to the 620 x 400 mm of the SUMA 65iB class, enabling similar multi-cavity mold arrangements while using purpose-designed Ever Power tooling. Injection mold bodies are machined from 4Cr13 stainless or S136 alloy steel, with optional magnesium-aluminium blow mold bodies for high-speed pharmaceutical production.
Comparable Platen to SUMA 65iB
At 600 x 390 mm the EP-ZQ60 platen closely matches the 620 x 400 mm of the SUMA 65iB, enabling comparable cavity layout strategies using Ever Power tooling designed for the ZQ60 geometry.
Hot Runner Optimised for 10-Cavity Layout
The hot runner system is individually calculated for each mold layout to ensure consistent material distribution across up to 10 cavities at 60 ml, minimising gram-weight deviation at sustained production rates.
Zero Scrap Output
No parting flash, no gate mark, no runner trim. Material utilisation approaches 100% per cycle — particularly valuable when processing expensive engineering resins such as PCTG and PLA.
Production Line Configuration
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.
