EP-ZQ110 Injection Blow Molding Machine

The 65 mm screw with 5+N barrel zones plasticises and injects 540 g of melt per shot. The 1,100 KN injection clamp — the highest in the ZQ standard range — holds the mould against cavity pressure across 14-cavity (100 ml) or 24-cavity (10 ml) tooling without deflection. The high-precision angle divider synchronises mould open/close with the rotary table lift simultaneously, eliminating sequential dead time and maintaining the 4-second dry cycle under full load.

The blow mould closes with 150 KN clamping force. The hydraulic double system — standard on the ZQ110 — maintains stable blow-station pressure even when injection-side hydraulic demand peaks simultaneously. Compressed air at 0.7–1.2 MPa expands each preform to the cavity wall. After cooling, the blow mould opens and the turntable indexes 120° to Station 3. The 1,100×460 mm platen allows the widest blow-mould tooling in the ZQ standard range.

The 260 mm stripping stroke ejects all bottles from the cold rods simultaneously. Dual 22+22 KW motors sustain injection and clamping loads across separate drive circuits. The combined 80 KW total power budget supports continuous 24-hour production at maximum cavity count without thermal throttling — a critical requirement for daily-chemical and pharmaceutical operations running scheduled 24×7 production.

Moving from 800 KN (ZQ80) to 1,100 KN (ZQ110) is a 37% increase in injection clamping force — the specification that most directly governs flash-free production at high cavity counts. At 14 cavities (100 ml), the additional 300 KN of clamp margin allows the ZQ110 to process higher-viscosity HDPE grades and higher-fill-pressure tooling designs without risking parting-surface fatigue or flash.

The step from 18.5+18.5 KW (ZQ80) to 22+22 KW (ZQ110) provides 19% more motor power per circuit. This increase is not purely about speed — it is about sustained thermal headroom. Each 22 KW motor on the ZQ110 operates further below its thermal limit at rated load, meaning that daily-chemical producers running 24-hour shifts do not experience the gradual cycle-time drift that occurs when motors approach their thermal ceiling.

The 1,100×460 mm platen on the ZQ110 allows up to 24 cavities at 10 ml and 14 cavities at 100 ml — the highest cavity count available in the EP-ZQ range below the ZQ135. For producers whose monthly volumes push the ZQ80’s 12-cavity (100 ml) capacity but who do not yet need the ZQ135’s 18-cavity configuration, the ZQ110 provides exactly the right intermediate step.

HDPE and PP hand-wash, shampoo, body-wash, fabric-conditioner, and detergent bottles at 100–500 ml running 3–5 million units per month. At 14 cavities (100 ml), the ZQ110 produces approximately 10,000–12,000 bottles per hour depending on cycle time and material. This output range covers the mid-tier of large FMCG supplier production requirements.

GMP HDPE and PP tablet, capsule and solid-dose oral liquid bottles from 30 ml to 1,000 ml. The 1,100×460 mm platen accommodates 22-cavity (30 ml), 18-cavity (60 ml), and 14-cavity (100 ml) tooling in the same machine — meaning a pharmaceutical contract packager can serve three volume segments from one ZQ110 investment, switching tooling between scheduled production runs.

PS lactic-acid bacterial drink bottles (30–100 ml), drinking yoghurt containers, and liquid condiment bottles at 5–10 million units per month. At 22 cavities (30 ml) and 18 cavities (60 ml), the ZQ110 covers even the largest regional dairy producers’ single-line output requirements. The 22:1 screw L/D ratio delivers homogeneous PS melt for optical clarity.

PP and PCTG capsule, tablet, and powder-supplement bottles at 100–500 ml for supplement producers running 3–6 million units per month. The 6-cavity (1,000 ml) capability also covers large-format protein-powder containers that require sustained output at high bottle weight.

A Surabaya daily-chemical producer supplying national retail chains with 250 ml HDPE hand-wash bottles at 4.5 million units per month needed to consolidate from three ZQ80 machines to two ZQ110 machines without losing output capacity. The upgrade reduced the total number of machines, operators, and maintenance contracts — while the 14-cavity (100 ml) configuration on each ZQ110 more than replaced the 12-cavity ZQ80 output. Floor space freed by the machine reduction was reallocated to a second product line.

A Karachi pharmaceutical contract packager running HDPE bottles across 30 ml, 60 ml, and 100 ml volume formats for export clients selected the EP-ZQ110 because its 1,100×460 mm platen was the smallest footprint that could physically accommodate 22-cavity (30 ml), 18-cavity (60 ml), and 14-cavity (100 ml) tooling within the same machine. All three mould sets were commissioned and qualified in a single 3-week installation and validation period.

A Osaka dairy producer running 65 ml PS lactic-acid bacterial drink bottles at 6 million units per month selected the EP-ZQ110 to replace two legacy EBM lines generating significant material waste. At 22-cavity tooling for 30 ml equivalent, the ZQ110 covered the production target in two-shift operation — the saved shift was converted to a planned maintenance window. PS optical clarity met the client’s 1.5% maximum haze requirement.

A Melbourne supplement contract packager producing PP capsule (100 ml) and protein-powder (1,000 ml) containers for both domestic and export markets used the EP-ZQ110’s 14-cavity (100 ml) and 6-cavity (1,000 ml) capability to serve both formats from one machine. The 22+22 KW dual-motor configuration sustained consistent cycle times across both formats without requiring parameter adjustment between the product changeover — a key operational simplification for a two-operator shift team.
