Cavity Output by Bottle Volume
The EP-ZQ80 reaches 20 cavities at 10 ml and 12 at 100 ml. The 800 x 400 mm platen is 180 mm longer than the BLOMA IBM85 class platen of 620 x 430 mm, providing significantly more horizontal layout space for high-cavity mold configurations at 10 and 30 ml.

Engineering Features of the EP-ZQ80
800 kN vs 700 kN — 14% Higher Clamping Force
The EP-ZQ80 provides 800 kN injection clamping force versus 700 kN for the BLOMA IBM85 — approximately 14% higher — through the European-style pressurized booster cylinder that acts independently from mold-open and mold-close, delivering higher force while reducing energy use per cycle.
466 g vs 310/280 g — 50% More Injection Weight
The BLOMA IBM85 provides 280 to 310 g injection weight. The EP-ZQ80 delivers 466 g from a single 55 mm screw — approximately 50% higher — enabling heavier preforms for larger bottles and higher-density resins without stepping up to a larger machine class.
Shorter and Lower: 4.5 x 1.6 x 2 m vs 4.7 x 1.6 x 2.55 m
At the same width as the BLOMA IBM85, the EP-ZQ80 is 0.2 m shorter in length and 0.55 m lower in height. The reduced height is particularly valuable in pharmaceutical clean rooms and standard industrial buildings where ceiling clearance below 2.1 m is common.
Wider Platen: 800 x 400 mm vs 620 x 430 mm
The EP-ZQ80 platen is 180 mm longer than the BLOMA IBM85 class, providing substantially more horizontal layout space. This enables the 20-cavity configuration at 10 ml and supports wider-format mold designs at all bottle sizes that would not fit within the shorter BLOMA platen footprint.
Standard High-Precision Angle Divider
Standard from the ZQ80 class upwards, the angle divider synchronises mold-open and turret-lift throughout every cycle, eliminating positional drift at 20-cavity production rates and maintaining consistent gram-weight distribution across all positions during extended shifts.
Dual Hydraulic Circuits — Standard from ZQ80
Two independent 18.5 kW hydraulic circuits power injection-clamping and blow-clamping separately, reducing the duty cycle of each motor. Operating power runs at 52 to 70% of the 55 kW installed capacity under standard production conditions, lowering energy cost per thousand bottles.
Key Components and Supplier Origins
The EP-ZQ80 dual hydraulic circuits require precision sealing. HALLITE O-rings and seal rings from England are specified for both circuits. Festo pneumatic valves from Germany manage blowing air distribution across 20 cavities. Gefran position sensors from Italy support the high-precision angle divider at sustained production rates.

Mold Design for the EP-ZQ80
The 800 x 400 mm EP-ZQ80 platen is 180 mm longer than the 620 x 430 mm of the BLOMA IBM85 class, enabling significantly wider mold layouts. Injection mold bodies are machined from 4Cr13 stainless or S136 alloy steel, with optional magnesium-aluminium blow bodies for faster thermal cycling at 20-cavity production rates.
180 mm Wider Than BLOMA IBM85 Platen
At 800 mm the EP-ZQ80 platen length is 180 mm greater than the 620 mm of the BLOMA IBM85, providing significantly more horizontal cavity layout space for the 20-cavity configuration at 10 ml.
4+N Barrel Zones
Four independently controlled heating zones provide consistent melt temperature management across the 55 mm screw length, reducing thermal variation between cavities at sustained 20-cavity output rates.
Zero Scrap at All Cavity Counts
No gate mark, no parting flash and no runner trim at any cavity count. At 20 cavities running HDPE pharmaceutical vials, material savings versus extrusion blow molding are substantial across a full production shift.
Production Line Integration
The EP-ZQ80 suits high-throughput production lines requiring matched downstream capacity at 20 cavities. Ever Power provides complete turnkey line proposals including equipment sizing, layout and installation support for both new installations and expansion projects alongside existing infrastructure.
