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 — 100 mm wider than the SUMA 85iB class — enables a broader cavity layout that supports these counts within the standard mold design envelope.

Engineering Features of the EP-ZQ80

Single 55 mm Screw — No Changeover Needed

The SUMA 85iB class uses a dual 50/60 mm screw configuration requiring a tool change when switching between bottle sizes. The EP-ZQ80 delivers 466 g from a single 55 mm screw across all supported volumes, eliminating changeover downtime and simplifying multi-SKU production scheduling.

800 kN vs 720 kN — 11% Higher Clamping

The EP-ZQ80 provides approximately 11% more injection clamping force than the SUMA 85iB class through its European-style pressurized clamping structure, enabling more stable preform filling at high cavity counts and supporting wider-neck bottle formats.

Narrower and Lower: 4.5 x 1.6 x 2 m

Despite the same 4.5 m length, the EP-ZQ80 is 0.4 m narrower and 0.6 m shorter than the SUMA 85iB class. This reduces floor area and height clearance requirements — a significant advantage for pharmaceutical clean rooms and standard-height facilities.

Wider Platen: 800 x 400 mm vs 700 x 400 mm

The 100 mm additional platen width versus the SUMA 85iB class enables wider horizontal cavity layouts and supports 20-cavity configurations at 10 ml that may be constrained on the narrower SUMA tooling footprint.

Standard High-Precision Angle Divider

The angle divider synchronises mold-open and turret-lift throughout every cycle, eliminating positional drift at sustained 20-cavity production rates and maintaining gram-weight consistency across all positions.

Dual Hydraulic Circuits — Energy Efficient

Two independent 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.

Mold Design for the EP-ZQ80

The 800 x 400 mm platen is 100 mm wider than the SUMA 85iB class, enabling wider mold layouts for 20-cavity configurations. Injection mold bodies are machined from 4Cr13 stainless or S136 alloy steel. Optional magnesium-aluminium blow mold bodies provide faster thermal cycling at high cavity rates.

100 mm Wider Platen Than SUMA 85iB

The 800 mm platen width versus 700 mm on the SUMA 85iB provides additional layout space for 20-cavity mold configurations and optimised spacing for larger neck formats.

4+N Zone Hot Runner

Four independently controlled barrel zones provide consistent melt temperature across all supported materials, reducing thermal variation between cavities and improving gram-weight consistency at 20-cavity output rates.

Zero Scrap — All Cavity Counts

No gate mark, no parting flash and no runner trim at any cavity count. At 20 cavities material savings versus extrusion blow molding are substantial across a full pharmaceutical 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 and installation support.

Technical Questions — EP-ZQ80

How does the EP-ZQ80 single screw compare to the SUMA 85iB dual-screw setup?
The SUMA 85iB class uses a dual 50/60 mm screw configuration requiring tool changes when switching between bottle sizes. The EP-ZQ80 delivers 466 g injection weight from a single 55 mm screw across all volumes from 1 ml to 2000 ml — eliminating changeover downtime for multi-SKU production lines and simplifying machine operation.
What materials can the EP-ZQ80 process?
HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, ABS, EVA, PCTG and bio-based PLA. The 466 g injection weight is particularly suited to HDPE and PP containers in the 250 to 2000 ml range, while the 4+N barrel zone configuration provides consistent melt temperature across the full material range.
What cavity counts does the EP-ZQ80 support?
Up to 20 cavities at 10 ml, 18 at 30 ml, 14 at 60 ml, 12 at 100 ml, 8 at 250 ml, 5 to 6 at 500 ml and 3 to 4 at 1000 ml — the highest counts in the 80-tonne ZQ class.
Is the EP-ZQ80 CE certified?
Yes. The EP-ZQ80 is CE marked, confirming conformity with applicable European machinery safety and EMC directives. CE documentation is supplied with the machine and available in advance on request for import and procurement compliance.
What auxiliary equipment is recommended for the EP-ZQ80?
A screw air compressor is recommended over a piston compressor at this output level due to the 0.8 m3/min compressed air requirement. A chiller, mold temperature controller and auto loader are core ancillaries. Downstream inspection and packing equipment should be rated for 20-cavity throughput. Ever Power provides complete turnkey line proposals on request.
