ZQ60 Injection Blow Molding Machine
60-Ton European-Style IBM System for High-Volume Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic & Food Packaging — Direct Replacement for SUMA 65iB with 20% Higher Clamping Force
Product Overview
The ZQ60 Injection Blow Molding Machine is a European-style fully automatic one-step IBM system engineered by Ever-power Machinery. Positioned as a direct replacement for the SUMA 65iB, this machine delivers 60 tons of injection clamping force with servo-driven precision, making it ideal for producing high-quality hollow plastic containers from 1ml to 1000ml capacity at elevated production volumes.
Unlike conventional extrusion blow molding, the ZQ60 employs a true one-step injection blow molding process that eliminates scrap waste, ensures uniform wall thickness, and produces bottles with precise neck dimensions and 100% seal integrity. The full European-style structural design provides 20%–30% higher clamping force than comparable industry models, while the unique pressurized clamping structure reduces energy consumption by 10%–20%.

Application Scenarios
Pharmaceutical Packaging
The ZQ60 excels in producing FDA-compliant bottles for eye drops, oral liquids, and supplement containers with zero contamination risk. The 14-cavity capability for 10ml bottles delivers exceptional throughput for high-volume pharmaceutical contracts. The one-step process eliminates secondary handling, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade bottle production with consistent wall thickness and precise neck finish for secure cap sealing.
Cosmetic & Personal Care
Ideal for premium cosmetic jars, lotion bottles, and serum containers requiring crystal-clear transparency or opaque color consistency. The expanded platen size accommodates larger multi-cavity molds for mid-volume cosmetic production runs. The injection blow process delivers superior surface finish compared to extrusion methods, meeting the aesthetic demands of high-end beauty brands.
Food & Beverage Containers
Suitable for edible oil bottles, sauce containers, and condiment packaging. The zero-waste production process aligns with sustainable manufacturing goals, while the robust 600kN clamping system ensures dimensional stability for reliable filling-line performance. The 5-ton machine weight provides enhanced vibration dampening for continuous 24/7 operation.
Chemical & Industrial Bottles
Produces chemically resistant HDPE and PP containers for cleaning agents, automotive fluids, and agricultural chemicals. The 260/383g injection capacity handles thicker-walled industrial containers with ease. The thick, uniform walls provide enhanced drop resistance and leak-proof performance under demanding storage conditions.
Material & Construction
The ZQ60 is constructed with industrial-grade components selected for longevity and precision under sustained high-volume operation:

Why Choose ZQ60 Over Alternatives
vs. Extrusion Blow Molding
Injection blow molding produces zero scrap waste versus 20–40% material loss in extrusion processes. Wall thickness variation is under 1% compared to 10–20% in extrusion, and bottle bottom convexity is significantly superior with no cut-off marks. The ZQ60’s 14-cavity 10ml capability far exceeds typical extrusion blow output.
vs. Two-Step PET Stretch Blow
The one-step process eliminates preform inventory and logistics costs. ZQ60 handles HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, ABS, and specialty materials beyond PET limitations. Mold changeover is faster with integrated injection and blow stations. The 600kN clamping force exceeds most PET stretch blow machines in this class.
vs. Competitor IBM Models
ZQ60 offers 3.4% higher clamping force than SUMA 65iB and 30% more than Jomar IBM65. The 260/383g injection capacity significantly exceeds competitor offerings. The unique pressurized clamping structure reduces energy consumption by 10%–20%. Standard servo rotation provides simpler maintenance and lower spare parts costs than proprietary systems.
