EP-ZQ60 IBM Machine — Alternative to Uniloy UIB90

400 kN booster hold force delivered by a dedicated cylinder that does not participate in mould open/close. At 14 cavities for 10 ml pharmaceutical dropper vials and 8 cavities for 100 ml pharmaceutical syrup bottles, the EP-ZQ60 covers the full UIB90-class pharmaceutical IBM application range at industry-standard output rates within the 600 kN clamp tonnage class.

383 g at 50 mm screw and 260 g at 45 mm screw give EP-ZQ60 buyers the flexibility to select their screw based on resin MFR and target preform weight — rather than accepting a fixed screw as UIB90-class machines typically offer. 383 g supports 8 cavities at 100 ml pharmaceutical PP bottles at 40 g per preform (8 × 40 g = 320 g, within limit), and 12 cavities at 30 ml PCTG cosmetic serum droppers at 18–20 g per preform.

EP-ZQ60 is specifically sized for Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom installation without ceiling modification. At 1.8 m machine height against 2.4 m standard Korean cleanroom ceiling, the 0.6 m overhead clearance accommodates barrel heater element service access, upper hydraulic system maintenance and HVAC unidirectional flow clearance — all required for GMP IQ/OQ qualification without facility modification cost.

S136 SPI A1 stainless injection cavities and blow moulds (Ra ≤ 0.010 μm) deliver PCTG haze 0.8–1.6% ASTM D1003 at 0.5–0.6 mm body wall — verified on Korea Ever-Power ZQ-series T1 trials with Eastman TX1001. At 14 cavities for 10 ml PCTG eye serum droppers, EP-ZQ60 with S136 SPI A1 tooling produces approximately 14,000–14,400 crystal-clear bottles per hour at a quality standard Uniloy UIB90-class standard H13 tooling cannot achieve.

European pressurised-clamping delivers 10–20% lower energy per cycle versus conventional IBM designs at equivalent clamp tonnage. Total installed power 37 kW at 55–70% steady-state utilisation. Korea Ever-Power Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do service base provides same-day Korean spare parts dispatch and 24/7 remote PLC VPN diagnostic support — response capability that North America-based Uniloy UIB90-class service networks cannot match for Korean buyers in-country.

Every EP-ZQ60 ships with CE marking, ISO 9001:2015 certificate, factory acceptance test (FAT) report, PP food-contact documentation (Korean MFDS + FDA 21 CFR + EU 10/2011) and PCTG material compliance. IQ/OQ documentation template available on request for pharmaceutical GMP qualification programmes. Warranty 12 months from final acceptance at buyer's facility — not from bill-of-lading date.

EP-ZQ60 at 8 cavities and 100 ml is the standard Korean mid-volume pharmaceutical IBM machine configuration. 383 g shot weight at 50 mm screw provides headroom for heavier-wall pharmaceutical HDPE tablet bottles (35–45 g per preform) at 8 cavities (280–360 g within 383 g limit) — a cavity count that UIB90-class shot weight limitations may not support at the same format. Closed injection-to-stripping cycle, ±0.05 mm neck thread tolerance, 100% cap-seal compliance.

14 cavities at 10 ml PCTG eye serum droppers at 14,000–14,400 bottles per hour with S136 SPI A1 mould tooling producing glass-look optical clarity. 12 cavities at 30 ml PCTG facial serum vials, 10 cavities at 60 ml PCTG essence bottles — all within EP-ZQ60 cavity table figures and 383 g shot weight limit.

PP shampoo, body wash, hand sanitiser and fragrance body mist at 100–500 ml in 3–8 cavity configurations. EP-ZQ60 at 383 g shot supports 5-cavity 500 ml PP shampoo at 55 g per bottle (275 g total, within limit) and 8-cavity 100 ml PP daily chemical pump bottles at 30 g per bottle (240 g total, within limit).

Korean supplement capsule, probiotic and vitamin container IBM at 60–500 ml in 3–10 cavity configurations. Korea Ever-Power food-contact documentation (Korean MFDS, FDA 21 CFR 177.1520 for PP, EU 10/2011) supplied at commercial programme commencement.

STEP file or drawing with body diameter, height and neck thread standard (e.g. 24/410, 28/400, 33/400). Neck OD tolerance ±0.05 mm.

Required for 45 mm vs 50 mm screw selection. Include data sheet for PCTG, HDPE high-MW and filled PP grades.

EP-ZQ60 suits annual volumes of 20–80 million bottles at 100 ml. Below, EP-ZQ40 is more economical; above, EP-ZQ80 or larger scales better.

H13 SPI B1 for standard PP/HDPE. S136 SPI A1 (Ra ≤ 0.010 μm) for PCTG crystal-clear pharmaceutical and luxury K-beauty cosmetic vials requiring haze below 2%.

Uniloy UIB90 mould tooling standard differs from EP-ZQ60 platen (600 × 390 mm) and mandrel configuration. Send mould drawings for Korea Ever-Power compatibility assessment before ordering.

Air: 0.7–1.2 MPa / 1.0 m³/min. Water: 5.0 m³/h. Floor: min 5.0 × 2.0 m. Height 1.8 m fits 2.4 m GMP cleanrooms. Voltage: 380 V/60 Hz or 400 V/50 Hz.

Q1: Can Uniloy UIB90 mould tooling be transferred to the EP-ZQ60?

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 × 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 — we advise within 5 working days at no cost.

Q2: Why is EP-ZQ60 at 1.8 m height when UIB90-class machines are typically much taller?

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 — allowing the 1.8 m machine profile that fits Korean pharmaceutical GMP cleanroom ceiling heights without structural modification.

Q3: What is the EP-ZQ60 machine and mould tooling lead time?

Machine: 50–65 working days from order confirmation and deposit. Mould tooling: 40–50 working days (H13 SPI B1) or 55–70 working days (S136 SPI A1). Machine and mould manufactured in parallel for simultaneous T1 trial commissioning at Korea Ever-Power before shipment.

Q4: How does EP-ZQ60 servo rotary table indexing compare to UIB90-class cam-driven indexing?

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 — 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.

Q5: What PCTG optical quality can EP-ZQ60 achieve for luxury cosmetic serum dropper vials?

With S136 SPI A1 mould option (Ra ≤ 0.010 μm): 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 using PCTG Eastman TX1001 at 252 °C barrel and 20 °C blow mould cooling water. Standard Uniloy UIB90-class H13 tooling typically produces 3–5% haze at comparable wall thickness — above the 2% threshold for Korean luxury K-beauty cosmetic dropper vial specifications.

Q6: What pharmaceutical GMP documentation does Korea Ever-Power provide?

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 available on request.

Q7: What after-sales service is available in Korea for EP-ZQ60 machines?

Korea Ever-Power Ansan-si, Gyeonggi-do service base: 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 spare parts dispatch for common wear items within Korea; scheduled preventive maintenance visits on annual service contract. Uniloy UIB90-class buyers in Korea typically experience longer service response times due to North America-primary service network and international spare parts shipping lead times.

Q8: Which EP-ZQ60 screw option — 45 mm or 50 mm — is correct for pharmaceutical HDPE tablet bottles?

For pharmaceutical HDPE tablet bottles at 30–45 g per preform and 6–8 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 × 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 15–25 g per preform in 10–12 cavity configurations where the lower shot weight and finer injection control is preferred for thin-wall precision pharmaceutical packaging.

Q9: Which Korea Ever-Power model replaces Uniloy UIB120 and UIB150?

EP-ZQ80 (800 kN, screw 55 mm, max shot 466 g, platen 800 × 400 mm, total power 55 kW, machine 4.5 × 1.6 × 2.0 m, 10 T) operates in the Uniloy UIB120 class. EP-ZQ110 (1,100 kN, screw 65 mm, max shot 540 g, platen 1100 × 460 mm, total power 80 kW, machine 5.0 × 1.8 × 2.2 m, 15 T) operates in the Uniloy UIB150 class. Dedicated comparison pages are in the IBM machine replacement guide.

Q10: Does Korea Ever-Power EP-ZQ60 carry CE marking?

Yes. CE marking with Declaration of Conformity to the relevant EU Machinery Directive is standard on every EP-ZQ60. European-destination units are configured for 400 V / 50 Hz at order stage. Full CE documentation package available for review before order confirmation on request.
