\u039f Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ80<\/a><\/strong> and SUMA 85iB are the most evenly matched pair in this comparison series. Both machines operate in the 80-tonne IBM class; both offer maximum injection weights in the 460\u2013480 g range; both accommodate similar bottle format ranges. The commercial case for EP-ZQ80 rests on what it achieves at equal performance specifications in a physically smaller machine: 23% shorter in height<\/strong> (2.0 m vs 2.6 m), 20% narrower in width<\/strong> (1.6 m vs 2.0 m), and with a wider 800 mm platen<\/strong> (versus SUMA 85iB 700 mm) that directly enables the 20-cavity-at-10-ml output the narrower SUMA 85iB platen cannot support.<\/p>\n

\"\u039c\u03b7\u03c7\u03b1\u03bd\u03ae<\/p>\n

The height difference is the installation-defining metric for Korean pharmaceutical buyers. SUMA 85iB at 2.6 m leaves only 0\u20130.4 m overhead clearance in Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms with 2.4\u20133.0 m ceiling heights \u2014 below the minimum for barrel heater maintenance in cleanrooms at 2.4\u20132.6 m ceiling. EP-ZQ80 at 2.0 m leaves 0.4\u20131.0 m clearance in the same environments, passing GMP IQ\/OQ facility qualification without ceiling modification. The width reduction from SUMA 85iB’s 2.0 m to EP-ZQ80’s 1.6 m (20% narrower) also allows one additional machine in a standard 10 m wide Korean pharmaceutical production bay.<\/p>\n

The 3-station simultaneous cycle (Injection \u2192 Blow \u2192 Stripping) achieves a 3.5-second dry cycle<\/strong>. No human hand contacts the preform or finished bottle at any point. The optional S136 SPI A1 mould steel<\/strong> (Ra \u2264 0.010 \u03bcm) delivers PCTG crystal-clear haze below 2 percent at 20-cavity Korean luxury K-beauty cosmetic production scale \u2014 a quality specification SUMA 85iB-class standard H13 tooling cannot match.

Why EP-ZQ80 Over SUMA 85iB<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
01<\/div>\n
\n
23% Shorter Height \u2014 The Critical Pharmaceutical GMP Installation Difference<\/div>\n

SUMA 85iB at 2.6 m height leaves zero overhead clearance in a Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom with a 2.6 m ceiling \u2014 the machine fills the entire ceiling height. In a 3.0 m cleanroom, it leaves 0.4 m, which is insufficient for barrel heater element replacement (requiring approximately 0.5 m minimum above the heater bands). EP-ZQ80 at 2.0 m leaves 0.6 m in a 2.6 m cleanroom and 1.0 m in a 3.0 m cleanroom. The difference between 0 m and 0.6 m overhead clearance at equal machine class determines whether the machine passes GMP facility IQ protocol without structural ceiling modification works.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
02<\/div>\n
\n
20% Narrower Width \u2014 More Machines Per Bay at Equal Output<\/div>\n

EP-ZQ80 at 1.6 m width versus SUMA 85iB at 2.0 m width (20% reduction) allows one additional EP-ZQ80 unit in a standard 10 m wide Korean pharmaceutical production bay with 0.8 m minimum side aisle clearance. Calculation: 4 \u00d7 1.6 m + 2 \u00d7 0.8 m = 8.0 m (fits 4 units); 4 \u00d7 2.0 m + 2 \u00d7 0.8 m = 9.6 m (also fits 4 units but uses 96% of the 10 m bay width). The 5th EP-ZQ80 unit requires 5 \u00d7 1.6 m + 2 \u00d7 0.8 m = 9.6 m \u2014 still within a 10 m bay. Five SUMA 85iB units require 5 \u00d7 2.0 m + 2 \u00d7 0.8 m = 11.6 m, exceeding the 10 m bay width. Five versus four machines per bay at equal facility cost is a 25% production capacity difference per factory investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
03<\/div>\n
\n
800mm vs 700mm Platen \u2014 14% Wider, 20 Cavities at 10ml<\/div>\n

EP-ZQ80’s 800 mm platen width versus SUMA 85iB’s 700 mm enables 20 cavities at 10 ml versus SUMA 85iB’s constrained count from the narrower 700 mm platen. Both machines share identical 400 mm platen height \u2014 the 100 mm wider platen on EP-ZQ80 is the sole driver of the additional cavity positions at small bottle formats. For Korean K-beauty cosmetic dropper vial production at 10\u201330 ml (the highest-volume small format in Korean cosmetic IBM), EP-ZQ80’s 20-cavity-at-10-ml capacity versus SUMA 85iB’s narrower platen output is a direct production volume advantage at equal machine investment and cycle time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
04<\/div>\n
\n
800 kN Clamp \u2014 11% Higher Than SUMA 85iB 720 kN<\/div>\n

The 80 kN additional injection clamping force on EP-ZQ80 versus SUMA 85iB is proportionally modest (11%) but practically significant at high cavity counts. At 12-cavity 100 ml pharmaceutical HDPE production, 800 kN distributes 66.7 kN per injection cavity; SUMA 85iB at 720 kN distributes 60 kN per cavity. The higher per-cavity clamping on EP-ZQ80 reduces flash probability at faster injection speeds \u2014 enabling higher throughput at constant dimensional quality for pharmaceutical bottle neck thread OD tolerance within \u00b10.05 mm specification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
05<\/div>\n
\n
S136 SPI A1 Mould \u2014 PCTG Haze < 2% at 20-Cavity Scale<\/div>\n

SUMA 85iB-class standard mould tooling uses H13 tool steel. Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ80 offers S136 stainless SPI A1 injection cavities and blow moulds (Ra \u2264 0.010 \u03bcm) as a standard upgrade, delivering 0.8\u20131.6% ASTM D1003 haze at 0.5\u20130.6 mm body wall \u2014 verified on Korea Ever-Power ZQ-series T1 trials. At 20 cavities for 10 ml PCTG eye serum droppers, EP-ZQ80 with S136 SPI A1 tooling produces approximately 20,000\u201320,600 crystal-clear bottles per hour at optical quality SUMA 85iB-class H13 tooling cannot achieve. For Korean luxury K-beauty brands scaling to full commercial launch volume, EP-ZQ80 is the single machine that provides both the output scale (20 cavities) and the optical grade (sub-2% haze) in one unit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

PP and HDPE tablet, syrup and oral liquid bottles at 30\u20131000 ml. 12 cavities at 100 ml format. EP-ZQ80’s 800 mm platen width enables 12-mandrel single-row layout for 100 ml pharmaceutical production; SUMA 85iB’s 700 mm platen constrains this to fewer cavities in the same row configuration. At 35 g per preform \u00d7 12 cavities = 420 g total \u2014 within EP-ZQ80’s 466 g limit with comfortable headroom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Q1: Will existing SUMA 85iB mould tooling fit the EP-ZQ80?<\/p>\n

Not directly. SUMA 85iB platen is approximately 700 \u00d7 400 mm versus EP-ZQ80 800 \u00d7 400 mm \u2014 identical platen height (400 mm) but 100 mm wider on EP-ZQ80. Mandrel pitch, mould thickness (250 mm on EP-ZQ80), bolt-hole pattern and mandrel diameter configuration differ. Existing SUMA 85iB moulds designed for the 700 mm platen width can potentially be used with adaptation plates on EP-ZQ80’s wider 800 mm platen, but mandrel pitch and bolt-hole alignment must be verified.

Q2: SUMA 85iB reaches 480 g at 60 mm screw while EP-ZQ80 reaches 466 g at 55 mm screw \u2014 is SUMA 85iB actually better on shot weight?<\/p>\n

The SUMA 85iB maximum of 480 g at 60 mm screw is 14 g above EP-ZQ80’s 466 g at 55 mm screw \u2014 a 3% difference that is commercially negligible for all pharmaceutical, cosmetic and daily chemical IBM applications in this machine class. The practical shot weight comparison should be at equal screw diameters: SUMA 85iB at 50 mm screw achieves 333 g; EP-ZQ80 at 55 mm screw achieves 466 g \u2014 EP-ZQ80 is significantly larger in this comparison. For buyers evaluating SUMA 85iB at its 60 mm screw maximum, EP-ZQ80 at 466 g with 55 mm screw covers the same application space without the additional screw-diameter complexity. The physical size advantages of EP-ZQ80 (23% shorter, 20% narrower) are the primary differentiators, not the shot weight \u2014 which is functionally equivalent between the two machines at their respective maximums.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q3: Why is EP-ZQ80’s 800 mm wide platen significant versus SUMA 85iB’s 700 mm?<\/p>\n

Both machines have 400 mm platen height. The 100 mm additional platen width on EP-ZQ80 allows one to two additional mandrel positions in the horizontal direction at small bottle formats (10\u201330 ml). At 10 ml format with typical 36 mm mandrel centre-to-centre spacing: EP-ZQ80’s 800 mm effective platen accommodates 20 mandrels; SUMA 85iB’s 700 mm accommodates approximately 18\u201319 mandrels depending on mandrel configuration. The Korea Ever-Power ZQ80 specification confirms 20 cavities at 10 ml; SUMA 85iB-class cavity count at 10 ml is not published. For Korean K-beauty cosmetic dropper vial production at 10 ml where maximum cavities per machine directly determines cost per bottle, the 100 mm platen width difference is commercially meaningful.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q4: What is the EP-ZQ80 machine and mould lead time?<\/p>\n

Machine: 55\u201370 working days from order confirmation and deposit. Mould tooling: 45\u201355 working days (H13 SPI B1) or 60\u201375 working days (S136 SPI A1 for 20-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

Q5: Can EP-ZQ80 at 2.0 m height install in Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms where SUMA 85iB at 2.6 m cannot?<\/p>\n

Yes. EP-ZQ80 at 2.0 m height fits Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms with 2.4 m ceiling clearance (0.4 m overhead). SUMA 85iB at 2.6 m exceeds 2.4 m ceiling height entirely \u2014 it cannot be installed in standard Korean pharmaceutical cleanrooms with 2.4 m ceilings without structural ceiling modification. Even in 3.0 m ceiling cleanrooms, SUMA 85iB at 2.6 m leaves only 0.4 m overhead versus EP-ZQ80’s 1.0 m \u2014 EP-ZQ80 provides significantly better maintenance access in both cleanroom height scenarios.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q6: How does the EP-ZQ80’s 55 mm single-screw differ from SUMA 85iB’s 50\/60 mm dual screw?<\/p>\n

SUMA 85iB offers two screw options: 50 mm (333 g) and 60 mm (480 g). EP-ZQ80 offers a single 55 mm screw at 466 g \u2014 mid-range between the two SUMA 85iB options in both diameter and shot weight. For buyers who need SUMA 85iB-class shot weight and have been choosing between the 50 mm and 60 mm SUMA options: EP-ZQ80’s single 55 mm at 466 g provides a balanced specification that covers the same application space without the need to choose a screw option at order stage. Buyers needing specifically more than 466 g should consider EP-ZQ110 (540 g, 65 mm screw).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q7: What pharmaceutical GMP documentation does Korea Ever-Power provide with EP-ZQ80?<\/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

Q8: What after-sales service does Korea Ever-Power provide in Korea for EP-ZQ80?<\/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, 2-hour software response SLA; same-day Korean spare parts dispatch; scheduled preventive maintenance on annual service contract. In-country service response capability versus Taiwan-based SUMA 85iB service networks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q9: Which EP-ZQ model replaces SUMA 135iB for buyers scaling beyond EP-ZQ80?<\/p>\n

EP-ZQ110 (1,100 kN, screw 65 mm, max shot 540 g, platen 1100 \u00d7 460 mm, total power 80 kW, machine 5.0 \u00d7 1.8 \u00d7 2.2 m, 15 T) replaces SUMA 135iB-class (1,200 kN, screw 65\/76 mm, shot 580\/770 g, platen 1000 \u00d7 500 mm, footprint 5.0 \u00d7 2.4 \u00d7 2.7 m). Dedicated comparison page in the IBM machine replacement guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q10: Does EP-ZQ80 carry CE marking for European pharmaceutical packaging markets?<\/p>\n

Yes. CE marking with Declaration of Conformity to the relevant EU Machinery Directive is standard on every EP-ZQ80. European-destination units configured for 400 V \/ 50 Hz at order stage.
