\u0627\u0644 Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ135<\/a><\/strong> and SUMA 175iB represent the top-range pair in this IBM comparison series, and the comparison here is the most balanced in the entire series. The EP-ZQ135 is smaller in every external dimension \u2014 11% shorter in height, 23% narrower in width, 8% shorter in length. The platen area is comparable: EP-ZQ135 at 1,300 \u00d7 500 mm is 100 mm wider and 100 mm shorter than SUMA 175iB at 1,200 \u00d7 600 mm. SUMA 175iB holds meaningful advantages on clamping (1,600 kN vs 1,350 kN, +19%) and maximum shot weight at 76 mm screw (770 g vs EP-ZQ135 650 g at 70 mm).<\/p>\n

The assessment for buyers is application-dependent. For pharmaceutical IBM at 18 cavities and 100 ml (35 g preform: 630 g total within EP-ZQ135’s 650 g limit), daily chemical at 10 cavities and 500 ml (60 g: 600 g within 650 g limit), and all Korean K-beauty PCTG dropper and serum vial formats, EP-ZQ135 is the correct choice \u2014 physically smaller, narrower, lower height for GMP cleanroom compliance, and with S136 SPI A1 crystal-clear mould capability SUMA 175iB-class does not offer. For large-format daily chemical or food supplement applications where preform weight drives total shot above 650 g (e.g. 11 cavities at 500 ml at 65 g per bottle = 715 g \u2014 above EP-ZQ135’s 650 g limit), SUMA 175iB at 76 mm \/ 770 g provides headroom EP-ZQ135 cannot match.<\/p>\n

Where EP-ZQ135 Leads \u2014 And Where SUMA 175iB Leads<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
01<\/div>\n
\n
Smaller in Every Dimension \u2014 11% Shorter, 23% Narrower, 8% Shorter Length<\/div>\n

EP-ZQ135 is smaller than SUMA 175iB in all three external dimensions simultaneously: 2.4 m versus 2.7 m height (11% shorter \u2014 fits 3.0 m GMP cleanroom ceiling with 0.6 m overhead; SUMA 175iB at 2.7 m leaves only 0.3 m \u2014 below minimum for barrel heater service); 2.0 m versus 2.6 m width (23% narrower \u2014 one additional machine per standard Korean pharmaceutical production bay); 5.5 m versus 6.0 m length (8% shorter \u2014 reduces bay depth requirement for five-machine installations). SUMA 175iB at 2.6 \u00d7 6.0 m floor area requires 15.6 m\u00b2 per machine bay position; EP-ZQ135 at 2.0 \u00d7 5.5 m requires 11.0 m\u00b2 \u2014 a 29% reduction in machine floor area at equal or better production output across pharmaceutical, cosmetic and daily chemical applications where EP-ZQ135’s 650 g shot limit is not a constraint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
02<\/div>\n
\n
30 Cavities at 10ml \u2014 S136 SPI A1 Crystal-Clear at Maximum Commercial Scale<\/div>\n

Korea Ever-Power ZQ135 specification confirms 30 cavities at 10 ml from the 1,300 mm wide platen. SUMA 175iB-class cavity count at 10 ml is not published; at 1,200 mm platen width with 38 mm mandrel pitch, approximately 28 positions are geometrically available \u2014 2 fewer than EP-ZQ135. The confirmed difference is 30 (EP-ZQ135) versus estimated 28 (SUMA 175iB-class), a smaller gap than in lower-tonnage comparisons. More significant: S136 SPI A1 mould steel (Ra \u2264 0.010 \u03bcm) delivers PCTG haze 0.8\u20131.6% ASTM D1003 across all 30 cavity positions \u2014 verified on Korea Ever-Power ZQ-series T1 trials. SUMA 175iB-class standard H13 tooling cannot achieve this optical quality. For Korean luxury K-beauty cosmetic dropper vial production at maximum single-machine commercial scale, EP-ZQ135 with S136 SPI A1 is the correct machine regardless of the 2-cavity platen difference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

650g at 70mm vs SUMA 175iB 580g at 65mm \u2014 EP-ZQ135 Leads at Equal-Class Screw<\/div>\n

SUMA 175iB offers two screw options: 65 mm (580 g) and 76 mm (770 g). EP-ZQ135 at 70 mm reaches 650 g \u2014 12% above SUMA 175iB at 65 mm (580 g). At 18 cavities for 100 ml pharmaceutical HDPE production at 35 g per preform (630 g total): EP-ZQ135 at 650 g has 20 g headroom; SUMA 175iB at 65 mm \/ 580 g is already 50 g below the 630 g total shot required for 18 cavities \u2014 SUMA 175iB at 65 mm cannot run 18 cavities at 35 g per preform in the 100 ml pharmaceutical IBM application. SUMA 175iB must use its 76 mm screw at 770 g for this application. EP-ZQ135 at 70 mm \/ 650 g runs 18 cavities at 35 g per preform with headroom without requiring a larger screw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u25cf<\/div>\n
\n
SUMA 175iB 76mm \/ 770g \u2014 When This Matters<\/div>\n

SUMA 175iB’s 76 mm \/ 770 g maximum shot weight advantage over EP-ZQ135’s 650 g is real and meaningful for specific large-format applications where total cavity shot weight falls in the 651\u2013770 g range. Scenarios where SUMA 175iB 76 mm is the correct choice over EP-ZQ135: (a) 11 cavities at 500 ml at 65 g per bottle = 715 g \u2014 above EP-ZQ135 650 g limit, within SUMA 175iB 770 g; (b) 9 cavities at 1,000 ml at 80 g per bottle = 720 g \u2014 above EP-ZQ135 limit; (c) 14+ cavities at 250 ml at 50 g per bottle = 700 g \u2014 above EP-ZQ135 limit. For all pharmaceutical IBM (14 cavities \u00d7 35 g = 490 g at 100 ml, well within EP-ZQ135 limit) and standard K-beauty dropper vial production, SUMA 175iB’s 76 mm screw advantage does not apply. Korea Ever-Power recommends EP-ZQ135 for all applications where total shot weight remains at or below 650 g, and encourages buyers to contact Korea Ever-Power engineering for applications above 650 g where EP-ZQ135 is not the correct model.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
04<\/div>\n
\n
SUMA 175iB 1,600kN Clamp \u2014 19% Above EP-ZQ135 1,350kN<\/div>\n

SUMA 175iB holds 1,600 kN injection clamping, 250 kN above EP-ZQ135’s 1,350 kN. At 18 cavities for 100 ml pharmaceutical HDPE production: EP-ZQ135 at 1,350 kN distributes 75 kN per injection cavity \u2014 within the 50\u201380 kN per cavity typical requirement for standard pharmaceutical IBM neck thread dimensional compliance at \u00b10.05 mm. The SUMA 175iB clamping advantage is most relevant for applications pushing cavity count above 18 at 100 ml (unlikely at this format), or for high-injection-speed production on thick-wall PP grades where cavity lock-up force requirements exceed 75 kN per cavity. For standard Korean pharmaceutical and cosmetic IBM production at this tonnage class, the 250 kN clamping advantage of SUMA 175iB does not change the achievable cavity count or dimensional quality output versus EP-ZQ135.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pharmaceutical \u2014 Peak IBM Volume<\/div>\n

18 cavities at 100 ml pharmaceutical HDPE or PP production \u2014 the highest cavity count in this IBM series. EP-ZQ135 at 650 g runs 18 cavities at 35 g per preform (630 g, within limit). SUMA 175iB at 65 mm \/ 580 g cannot run 18 cavities at 35 g per preform (630 g exceeds 580 g limit) \u2014 SUMA 175iB must use 76 mm \/ 770 g for this configuration. EP-ZQ135 achieves the same 18-cavity result without requiring the larger screw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

For daily chemical applications where total shot weight exceeds 650 g (e.g. 11 cavities at 500 ml at 65 g = 715 g), SUMA 175iB at 76 mm \/ 770 g is the appropriate choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Potentially with assessment. SUMA 175iB platen is 1,200 \u00d7 600 mm versus EP-ZQ135’s 1,300 \u00d7 500 mm \u2014 EP-ZQ135 is 100 mm wider and 100 mm shorter in platen height. The different platen heights (600 mm vs 500 mm) may require mandrel pitch and bolt-hole adjustment. Some SUMA 175iB mould bases may be adaptable using a platen adapter plate on EP-ZQ135’s wider 1,300 mm platen; others will require new tooling. Send SUMA 175iB mould base drawings for a Korea Ever-Power compatibility assessment within 5 working days at no cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q2: When does SUMA 175iB’s 76mm \/ 770g shot weight advantage over EP-ZQ135’s 650g actually matter?<\/p>\n

SUMA 175iB’s 770 g at 76 mm screw advantage over EP-ZQ135’s 650 g matters when total cavity shot weight exceeds 650 g. Practical scenarios: (a) 11 cavities at 500 ml daily chemical at 65 g per bottle = 715 g total, above EP-ZQ135’s 650 g limit \u2014 SUMA 175iB at 76 mm runs this; EP-ZQ135 is limited to 10 cavities (600 g within limit); (b) 9 cavities at 1,000 ml food supplement at 80 g per bottle = 720 g, above EP-ZQ135 limit; (c) heavy-wall HDPE tablet bottle at 20+ cavities at 35+ g per preform pushing total above 650 g. For all pharmaceutical IBM applications at the confirmed 18-cavity 100 ml format (630 g within EP-ZQ135 limit), standard K-beauty dropper formats and daily chemical within 10 cavities at 500 ml, the SUMA 175iB 76 mm advantage does not apply.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q3: Can EP-ZQ135 at 2.4m install in Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms where SUMA 175iB at 2.7m cannot?<\/p>\n

Yes. EP-ZQ135 at 2.4 m fits Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms with 3.0 m ceiling clearance (0.6 m overhead \u2014 comfortable for barrel heater element service and hydraulic system maintenance). SUMA 175iB at 2.7 m in a 3.0 m ceiling cleanroom leaves only 0.3 m overhead \u2014 below the 0.5 m minimum for barrel heater element service. SUMA 175iB requires at least 3.2 m ceiling clearance (2.7 m machine + 0.5 m minimum service clearance) for GMP IQ\/OQ facility qualification. For Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms with 3.0 m ceiling, EP-ZQ135 qualifies; SUMA 175iB does not without ceiling modification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q4: How does EP-ZQ135’s 1,300mm platen compare to SUMA 175iB’s 1,200mm for cavity count at 10ml and 100ml?<\/p>\n

At 10 ml format with 38 mm mandrel pitch: EP-ZQ135 at 1,300 mm accommodates 30 positions (30 \u00d7 38 mm = 1,140 mm, within 1,300 mm limit); SUMA 175iB at 1,200 mm accommodates approximately 28 positions (28 \u00d7 38 mm = 1,064 mm, within 1,200 mm limit). Korea Ever-Power ZQ135 specification confirms 30 cavities at 10 ml; SUMA 175iB-class at 10 ml is not published. At 100 ml with 65 mm pitch: EP-ZQ135 at 1,300 mm accommodates 18 positions (18 \u00d7 65 mm = 1,170 mm, within limit \u2014 confirmed from ZQ135 cavity table); SUMA 175iB at 1,200 mm accommodates approximately 17 positions (17 \u00d7 65 mm = 1,105 mm, within 1,200 mm). The differences (2 cavities at 10 ml, 1 at 100 ml) are smaller than in lower-tonnage comparisons \u2014 the machines are genuinely comparable at this platen scale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q5: What is the EP-ZQ135 machine and mould lead time?<\/p>\n

Machine: 65\u201380 working days from order confirmation and deposit. Mould tooling: 55\u201365 working days (H13 SPI B1) or 70\u201385 working days (S136 SPI A1 for 30-cavity PCTG precision tooling). Machine and mould manufactured in parallel for simultaneous T1 trial commissioning at Korea Ever-Power before shipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q6: What GMP documentation does Korea Ever-Power provide with EP-ZQ135?<\/p>\n

Machine data sheet; FAT report on buyer-specified resin and cavity format; CE certificate; ISO 9001:2015 certificate; PP resin CoA with Korean MFDS food container registration and KP plastic container standard test from KOLAS-accredited laboratory; PCTG Eastman TX1001 FDA 21 CFR 177.2490 food contact letter + EU 10\/2011 Declaration of Conformity. IQ\/OQ documentation template on request.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q7: What after-sales service does Korea Ever-Power provide in Korea for EP-ZQ135?<\/p>\n

Korea Ever-Power Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do: one week on-site commissioning and operator training; 24\/7 remote PLC VPN diagnostic support for 90 days post-commissioning with 2-hour software response SLA; same-day Korean spare parts dispatch; scheduled preventive maintenance on annual service contract. At the EP-ZQ135 \/ SUMA 175iB production scale \u2014 the highest single-machine IBM output tier \u2014 service response time has the largest absolute impact on annual production versus target. In-country 2-hour diagnostic and same-day parts response from Korea Ever-Power Ansan-si is a structural advantage versus Taiwan-based SUMA 175iB service networks at every maintenance event.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q8: What PCTG optical quality does EP-ZQ135 with S136 SPI A1 achieve at 30-cavity scale?<\/p>\n

0.8\u20131.6% ASTM D1003 integrating sphere haze at 0.5\u20130.6 mm body wall across all 30 cavity positions, verified on Korea Ever-Power ZQ-series T1 trials with PCTG Eastman TX1001 at 252 \u00b0C barrel and 20 \u00b0C blow mould cooling. This optical quality is maintained at the full 30-cavity 1,300 mm platen width through uniform barrel temperature distribution and consistent S136 SPI A1 cavity surface finish. SUMA 175iB-class standard H13 tooling typically achieves 3\u20135% ASTM D1003 haze \u2014 above the 2% threshold Korean luxury K-beauty cosmetic dropper vial brands specify. The S136 SPI A1 capability is the clearest single competitive differentiator of EP-ZQ135 over SUMA 175iB-class for Korean luxury K-beauty buyers at this tonnage range.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q9: How does EP-ZQ135’s 23% narrower width give a production bay density advantage over SUMA 175iB?<\/p>\n

In a standard 15 m wide Korean pharmaceutical production bay with 1.5 m aisle clearance on each side: EP-ZQ135 at 2.0 m width allows 6 machines (6 \u00d7 2.0 m + 2 \u00d7 1.5 m = 15.0 m, exactly fitting); SUMA 175iB at 2.6 m width allows 4 machines (4 \u00d7 2.6 m + 2 \u00d7 1.5 m = 13.4 m, within bay \u2014 5th unit would require 16.5 m). Six versus four EP-ZQ135 machines versus SUMA 175iB-class in a 15 m bay \u2014 at the EP-ZQ135 scale of 190+ million bottles per year per unit at 100 ml, this is 380 million additional bottles per year annual capacity from the same bay width at equal facility investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q10: Does Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ135 carry CE marking for European pharmaceutical markets?<\/p>\n

Yes. CE marking with Declaration of Conformity to the relevant EU Machinery Directive is standard on every EP-ZQ135. European-destination units configured for 400 V \/ 50 Hz at order stage.
