Tuotteen yleiskatsaus<\/h2>\n

\"EP-ZQ40<\/p>\n

The Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ40<\/a><\/strong> is a full European 3-station injection blow molding machine delivering 400 kN injection clamping force<\/strong> \u2014 18 percent above the Jomar IBM40-class 340 kN \u2014 and a maximum injection weight of 260 g<\/strong> with the 45 mm screw option, 44 percent above the IBM40 ceiling of 180 g. On a 3.5 \u00d7 1.3 \u00d7 1.7 m chassis weighing 3.8 tonnes, it fits through a standard Korean factory rolling door and, critically, its 1.7 m machine height<\/strong> is 38 percent shorter than the IBM40-class approximate 2.75 m \u2014 a decisive factor for pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom installations with ceiling constraints.<\/p>\n

The 3-station simultaneous cycle (Injection \u2192 Blow \u2192 Stripping) runs at a 3.5-second dry cycle<\/strong>. All three stations operate in parallel within every cycle: Station 1 injects the next preform while Station 2 blows the current bottle and Station 3 strips the finished bottle onto the exit conveyor. No human hand contacts the preform or finished bottle at any point \u2014 satisfying Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom handling requirements without additional isolation enclosures.<\/p>\n

Material compatibility: PP, PCTG, HDPE, LDPE, PS (lactic acid bacteria grade), ABS, EVA, PLA and corn starch environmental resin. The EP-ZQ40 screw is available in 40 mm<\/strong> (190 g shot, precision pharmaceutical and cosmetic dropper) or 45 mm<\/strong> (260 g shot, high-output supplement and daily chemical bottles). For PCTG crystal-clear cosmetic dropper vials, the optional S136 SPI A1 mould steel<\/strong> (Ra \u2264 0.010 \u03bcm) delivers haze below 2 percent \u2014 the optical standard Korean luxury K-beauty brands specify. The full ruiskupuhallusmuovauskone<\/a> range includes EP-ZQ40 through EP-ZQ135 for every production scale.<\/p>\n

Core Advantages Over Jomar IBM40-Class<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\ud83d\udd25 400 kN Injection Clamp \u2014 18% Higher<\/div>\n

Tighter preform cavity closure at higher injection speeds reduces neck thread flash and enables \u00b10.05 mm neck dimensional tolerance. The pressurised booster-cylinder design does not participate in mould open\/close travel \u2014 extending hydraulic seal life beyond conventional IBM40-class designs while cutting energy draw by 10\u201320% per cycle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udcc8 260 g Max Shot Weight \u2014 44% More<\/div>\n

For 40 g pharmaceutical HDPE tablet bottles: EP-ZQ40 runs 6 cavities (6 \u00d7 40 g = 240 g, within 260 g limit); IBM40-class at 180 g maximum is limited to 4 cavities for the same format \u2014 a 50% output gap at identical cycle time and energy consumption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83c\udfd7 1.7 m Height \u2014 GMP Cleanroom Ready<\/div>\n

38% shorter than IBM40-class approximate 2.75 m. Fits Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms at 2.4 m ceiling without structural modification. Machine width of 1.3 m also clears standard Korean factory rolling doors during installation \u2014 a detail IBM40-class buyers at 1.9 m width often underestimate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\ud83d\udc8e PCTG Haze < 2% \u2014 Luxury Grade<\/div>\n

S136 SPI A1 mould steel (Ra \u2264 0.010 \u03bcm) achieves PCTG haze 0.8\u20131.6% by ASTM D1003 at 0.5\u20130.6 mm body wall, verified on Korea Ever-Power ZQ40 T1 trials with Eastman TX1001. The S136 SPI A1 option is not standard on IBM40-class tooling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u26a1 10\u201320% Lower Energy Per Cycle<\/div>\n

Full European pressurised-clamping: booster cylinder pressurised only during clamp hold, not during open\/close travel. Steady-state operating power is 10.4\u201314 kW against 20 kW rated \u2014 52\u201370% nameplate utilisation, measurably lower than conventional IBM40-class hydraulic architecture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\u2699\ufe0f Dual Screw Option \u2014 40 or 45 mm<\/div>\n

Choose 40 mm (190 g) for precision pharmaceutical dropper and cosmetic serum vials, or 45 mm (260 g) for high-output supplement and daily chemical bottles. IBM40-class fixes buyers to a single screw configuration with a 180 g ceiling \u2014 no post-installation flexibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Usein kysytyt kysymykset<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Q1: Will my existing Jomar IBM40 moulds fit directly on the EP-ZQ40?<\/p>\n

Not without assessment. EP-ZQ40 platen is 480 \u00d7 340 mm versus Jomar IBM40-class approximate 394 \u00d7 508 mm. Mandrel pitch, mould thickness (180 mm on EP-ZQ40) and bolt patterns also differ. Send your existing IBM40 mould base drawings and Korea Ever-Power will advise on adaptation requirements within 5 working days at no cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q2: What is the EP-ZQ40 machine and mould tooling lead time?<\/p>\n

Machine: 45\u201360 working days from order confirmation and deposit. Mould tooling: 35\u201345 working days (H13 SPI B1) or 50\u201365 working days (S136 SPI A1). Machine and mould are manufactured in parallel for simultaneous T1 trial commissioning before shipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q3: What PCTG haze level does EP-ZQ40 achieve with the S136 SPI A1 mould option?<\/p>\n

0.8\u20131.6% haze by ASTM D1003 integrating sphere at 0.5\u20130.6 mm body wall, verified on Korea Ever-Power ZQ40 T1 trials using PCTG Eastman TX1001 at 252 \u00b0C barrel and 20 \u00b0C blow mould cooling water \u2014 below the 2% threshold specified by Korean luxury K-beauty brands.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q4: How does the pressurised clamping design save energy versus IBM40-class architecture?<\/p>\n

The EP-ZQ40 booster cylinder provides injection clamping hold force but does not travel during mould open and close. Conventional IBM40-class designs use the main hydraulic cylinder for both clamping force and open\/close travel \u2014 accelerating and decelerating on every cycle, generating heat and wear. EP-ZQ40 steady-state operating power is 10.4\u201314 kW against 20 kW rated (52\u201370% utilisation), 10\u201320% lower per cycle than conventional IBM architecture of equivalent clamp tonnage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q5: Can EP-ZQ40 run more cavities than IBM40-class for HDPE pharmaceutical tablet bottles?<\/p>\n

Yes, for heavier-wall formats. Example: 100 ml HDPE pharmaceutical tablet bottle at 40 g per bottle. IBM40-class at 180 g maximum: 4 cavities (4 \u00d7 40 g = 160 g, only 20 g headroom). EP-ZQ40 at 45 mm screw and 260 g maximum: 6 cavities (6 \u00d7 40 g = 240 g, within 260 g limit). That is a 50% cavity-count increase \u2014 50% more output at identical cycle time and energy consumption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q6: What pharmaceutical GMP documentation does Korea Ever-Power supply with EP-ZQ40?<\/p>\n

Standard package: machine data sheet; FAT report on buyer-specified resin and cavity format; CE certificate; ISO 9001:2015 certificate; PP resin CoA (Korean MFDS food container + KP plastic container standard test from KOLAS-accredited lab); PCTG: Eastman TX1001 FDA 21 CFR 177.2490 letter + EU 10\/2011 Declaration of Conformity. IQ\/OQ documentation template available on request for pharmaceutical GMP qualification programmes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q7: What on-site commissioning service does Korea Ever-Power provide?<\/p>\n

One week of on-site commissioning and operator training covering: machine levelling and installation; first production start-up on buyer-specified resin and bottle; HMI recipe management; mould changeover procedure; daily preventive maintenance; basic hydraulic and electrical troubleshooting. Korean-language operator manual and electrical schematic PDF included. 24\/7 remote PLC diagnostic support via VPN for 90 days post-commissioning, 2-hour response SLA for software issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Q8: How long does a full mould changeover take on EP-ZQ40?<\/p>\n

A complete cavity swap (injection cavity block, mandrel core rod set, blow cavity) takes approximately 60\u201390 minutes with a two-person crew. Pre-heating the replacement injection cavity on an adjacent temperature controller while current production runs reduces total changeover time to approximately 40\u201350 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
