EP-ZQ110 IBM Machine — Alternative to Uniloy UIB150

14 cavities at 100 ml pharmaceutical HDPE or PP production within 2.7 m ceiling Korean GMP cleanrooms — EP-ZQ110 qualifies at 2.2 m machine height; UIB150-class machines at 3.0–3.5 m cannot. Annual output: approximately 150–160 million bottles per year at 100 ml, 3 shifts, per EP-ZQ110 unit. Korean MFDS, FDA 21 CFR and EU GMP documentation package at programme commencement.

24 cavities at 10 ml and 22 cavities at 30 ml PCTG crystal-clear serum droppers with S136 SPI A1 glass-look tooling at sub-2% ASTM D1003 haze. EP-ZQ110 is the peak single-machine output configuration for Korean luxury K-beauty dropper vial commercial production. UIB150-class machines cannot match this combination of cavity count, optical quality and GMP cleanroom installation eligibility.

PP and PCTG shampoo, body wash, conditioner and fragrance bottles at 100–1000 ml in 6–14 cavity configurations within EP-ZQ110's 540 g shot weight limit. 8 cavities at 500 ml (55 g per bottle, 440 g total); 6 cavities at 1000 ml (80 g per bottle, 480 g total) — both within 540 g limit.

PP and HDPE supplement capsule and vitamin containers at 250–5000 ml. 10 cavities at 250 ml (45 g per bottle, 450 g total); 8 cavities at 500 ml (55 g per bottle, 440 g total) — both within 540 g limit. Korea Ever-Power food-contact documentation supplied at commercial programme commencement.

Q1: Can Uniloy UIB150 mould tooling be transferred to the EP-ZQ110?

Not without assessment. Uniloy UIB150-class mould tooling standards are not publicly documented, making dimensional compatibility dependent on the buyer providing UIB150 mould base drawings. EP-ZQ110 platen is 1,100 × 460 mm with 250 mm mould thickness and its own bolt-hole pattern and mandrel pitch configuration. Send UIB150 mould drawings for a Korea Ever-Power compatibility review — we advise within 5 working days at no cost.

Q2: Why is EP-ZQ110 at 2.2m height when UIB150-class machines are typically 3.0m+?

UIB150-class machine height reflects the scaling of American-style vertical hydraulic clamping architecture with tonnage — the main clamping cylinder grows proportionally with required 150-tonne force and requires vertical travel clearance on every mould open/close cycle. At UIB150 class, this results in 3.0–3.5 m machine heights. Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ110 uses a horizontal European booster cylinder that provides 1,100 kN clamping hold force in compression without vertical travel — keeping the machine profile at 2.2 m regardless of clamping tonnage. Across the full EP-ZQ platform (EP-ZQ40 at 1.7 m through EP-ZQ135 at 2.4 m), height grows only 0.7 m across a fourfold increase in clamping force — versus UIB-class machines where height grows proportionally with tonnage.

Q3: Does EP-ZQ110 at 2.2m height qualify for Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms where UIB150-class machines cannot?

Yes. EP-ZQ110 at 2.2 m fits Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms with 2.7 m ceiling clearance (0.5 m overhead — the minimum threshold for barrel heater element service access) and 3.0 m ceiling (0.8 m overhead — comfortable for all GMP IQ/OQ maintenance access requirements). UIB150-class machines at 3.0–3.5 m cannot be installed in any Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom with ceiling below 3.5–4.0 m without structural ceiling modification costing 80–200 million KRW per bay. This completely eliminates UIB150-class machines from standard Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom programmes without building modification.

Q4: What is the EP-ZQ110 machine and mould lead time?

Machine: 60–75 working days from order confirmation and deposit. Mould tooling: 50–60 working days (H13 SPI B1) or 65–80 working days (S136 SPI A1 for 24-cavity PCTG precision tooling). Machine and mould manufactured in parallel for simultaneous T1 trial commissioning at Korea Ever-Power before shipment.

Q5: What pharmaceutical GMP documentation does Korea Ever-Power provide with EP-ZQ110?

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.

Q6: What after-sales service is available in Korea for EP-ZQ110?

Korea Ever-Power Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do: one week on-site commissioning and operator training at buyer's facility; 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 UIB150-class production scale (150+ million bottles per year per unit), every hour of unplanned downtime directly impacts batch release and customer delivery schedules — in-country 2-hour diagnostic and same-day parts response is operationally critical versus North America-primary Uniloy service network response times for Korean buyers.

Q7: What PCTG optical quality does EP-ZQ110 with S136 SPI A1 tooling achieve at 24-cavity scale?

0.8–1.6% ASTM D1003 integrating sphere haze at 0.5–0.6 mm body wall, verified on Korea Ever-Power ZQ-series T1 trials with PCTG Eastman TX1001 at 252 °C barrel and 20 °C blow mould cooling. This optical quality is maintained across all 24 cavity positions through uniform barrel temperature distribution and consistent S136 SPI A1 cavity surface finish. Uniloy UIB150-class standard tooling does not include S136 SPI A1 as a published option, and the non-published platen geometry may limit cavity count at 10 ml format regardless of mould steel choice.

Q8: How does EP-ZQ110 servo rotary table indexing compare to UIB150-class cam-driven indexing?

EP-ZQ110 servo rotary table maintains consistent angular positioning repeatability using servo motor-driven precision throughout the machine's operating life. UIB150-class cam-driven indexing mechanisms accumulate mechanical play at the cam and follower contact surfaces at rates proportional to production cycle count — at UIB150-class volumes of 150+ million cycles per year, wear accumulation occurs faster than at lower tonnage classes. The angular variance introduced by cam wear in UIB150-class machines eventually affects preform-to-blow-cavity alignment, resulting in wall thickness distribution inconsistency across the bottle body that requires cam adjustment or replacement. EP-ZQ110 servo indexing eliminates this wear mechanism entirely.

Q9: Which Korea Ever-Power model replaces Uniloy UIB180 for buyers scaling beyond EP-ZQ110?

EP-ZQ135 (1,350 kN, screw 70 mm, max shot 650 g, platen 1,300 × 500 mm, total power 95 kW, machine 5.5 × 2.0 × 2.4 m, 18 T) operates in the Uniloy UIB180 class. Dedicated comparison page in the IBM machine replacement guide.

Q10: Does Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ110 carry CE marking?

Yes. CE marking with Declaration of Conformity to the relevant EU Machinery Directive is standard on every EP-ZQ110. European-destination units configured for 400 V / 50 Hz at order stage. Full CE documentation package available for review before order confirmation on request.
