Panoramica del prodotto<\/h2>\n

IL Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ60<\/a><\/strong> is a full European 3-station injection blow molding machine operating in the same tonnage class as the Uniloy UIB90. At 600 kN injection clamping force<\/strong> and a maximum injection weight of 383 g<\/strong> with the 50 mm screw option, the EP-ZQ60 brings the European pressurised-clamping architecture \u2014 with its 10\u201320% per-cycle energy reduction and compact machine profile \u2014 directly into the UIB90 market segment that Uniloy has traditionally served with American-style vertical-clamping IBM machine design.<\/p>\n

The critical practical difference is machine height. American-style IBM machines in the UIB90 class are characterised by tall vertical profiles that originate from the upright hydraulic clamping cylinder arrangement typical of this machine generation. Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ60 at 1.8 m machine height<\/strong> fits inside standard Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanrooms with 2.4 m ceiling clearance, leaving 0.6 m of service overhead \u2014 a geometry that UIB90-class machines typically cannot achieve without structural ceiling modification. At 1.4 m machine width<\/strong>, EP-ZQ60 also allows higher machine density per production bay than wider UIB90-class machines, directly impacting the production capacity of a fixed factory floor investment.<\/p>\n

\"Macchina<\/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, satisfying pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom handling requirements. The servo rotary table indexes mandrels between stations with precise servo positioning \u2014 measurably more repeatable over high-cycle-count pharmaceutical production campaigns than cam-driven indexing mechanisms typical in UIB90-class machine designs. Material range covers PP, PCTG, HDPE, LDPE, PS, ABS, EVA, PLA and corn starch environmental resin. The optional S136 SPI A1 mould steel<\/strong> (Ra \u2264 0.010 \u03bcm) delivers PCTG haze below 2 percent for luxury Korean K-beauty cosmetic serum dropper vials.

<\/p>\n

Domande frequenti<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Q1: Can Uniloy UIB90 mould tooling be transferred to the EP-ZQ60?<\/p>\n

Not without assessment. Uniloy UIB90-class mould systems are built to American IBM tooling standards that differ from Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ60 platen dimensions (600 \u00d7 390 mm), mandrel pitch, mould thickness (220 mm) and bolt-hole configuration. If you own UIB90 tooling, send mould base drawings to Korea Ever-Power for a dimensional compatibility review \u2014 we advise within 5 working days at no cost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q2: Why is EP-ZQ60 at 1.8 m height when UIB90-class machines are typically much taller?<\/p>\n

Uniloy UIB90-class machine height reflects the American-style vertical hydraulic clamping architecture, where the main clamping cylinder is mounted above the injection unit and requires vertical travel clearance on every mould open\/close cycle. Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ60 uses a horizontal European pressurised-clamping layout where the booster cylinder provides clamping hold force without vertical travel \u2014 allowing the 1.8 m machine profile that fits Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom ceiling heights without structural modification.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q3: What is the EP-ZQ60 machine and mould tooling lead time?<\/p>\n

Machine: 50\u201365 working days from order confirmation and deposit. Mould tooling: 40\u201350 working days (H13 SPI B1) or 55\u201370 working days (S136 SPI A1). Machine and mould manufactured in parallel for simultaneous T1 trial commissioning at Korea Ever-Power before shipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q4: How does EP-ZQ60 servo rotary table indexing compare to UIB90-class cam-driven indexing?<\/p>\n

EP-ZQ60 servo rotary table indexes the mandrel between stations using servo motor-driven precision positioning, maintaining consistent angular repeatability throughout the machine’s operating life. Uniloy UIB90-class cam-driven indexing mechanisms accumulate mechanical play over high-cycle-count production \u2014 the cam and follower contact surfaces wear progressively, introducing angular positioning variance that can affect preform-to-blow-cavity alignment. The practical consequence is that EP-ZQ60 servo indexing maintains consistent bottle body wall thickness distribution over the life of the machine, while UIB90-class cam indexing may require periodic adjustment to compensate for accumulated mechanical wear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q5: What PCTG optical quality can EP-ZQ60 achieve for luxury cosmetic serum dropper vials?<\/p>\n

With S136 SPI A1 mould option (Ra \u2264 0.010 \u03bcm): 0.8\u20131.6% ASTM D1003 integrating sphere haze at 0.5\u20130.6 mm body wall, verified on Korea Ever-Power ZQ-series T1 trials using PCTG Eastman TX1001 at 252 \u00b0C barrel and 20 \u00b0C blow mould cooling water. Standard Uniloy UIB90-class H13 tooling typically produces 3\u20135% haze at comparable wall thickness \u2014 above the 2% threshold for Korean luxury K-beauty cosmetic dropper vial specifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Q6: What pharmaceutical GMP documentation does Korea Ever-Power provide?<\/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.

Q8: Which EP-ZQ60 screw option \u2014 45 mm or 50 mm \u2014 is correct for pharmaceutical HDPE tablet bottles?<\/p>\n

For pharmaceutical HDPE tablet bottles at 30\u201345 g per preform and 6\u20138 cavities: the 50 mm screw at 383 g maximum is the correct selection, as it provides adequate shot weight headroom above the total cavity shot weight (e.g. 8 \u00d7 40 g = 320 g, leaving 63 g of headroom within 383 g limit). The 45 mm screw at 260 g maximum is more suitable for lighter pharmaceutical dropper vials and cosmetic serum vials at 15\u201325 g per preform in 10\u201312 cavity configurations where the lower shot weight and finer injection control is preferred for thin-wall precision pharmaceutical packaging.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
