Description
ZQ135 Injection Blow Molding Machine
Heavy-Duty European-Style IBM System for Large-Volume Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic & Industrial Packaging — 135T Clamping Force, 650g Injection Capacity, Maximum Cavitation Efficiency
Product Overview
The ZQ135 Injection Blow Molding Machine represents the flagship of Ever-power Machinery’s European-style IBM lineup, engineered as a direct replacement for the Jomar IBM175. With an industry-leading 135 tons of injection clamping force and 650g shot capacity, this heavy-duty system is purpose-built for high-cavitation production of large-volume bottles, wide-mouth jars, and industrial containers up to 1000ml per cavity.
The ZQ135 integrates a full European-style structural frame with 20%–30% greater rigidity than conventional designs, paired with a standard high-precision angle divider that synchronizes mold opening, closing, and rotary table lifting with sub-millimeter accuracy. The proprietary pressurized clamping architecture isolates the booster cylinder from the opening/closing cycle, cutting energy consumption by 20%–30% while maintaining consistent clamp force across extended production runs.
Unlike two-step PET stretch blow systems, the ZQ135 employs a true one-step injection blow molding process that forms the preform and blows the final bottle in a single, continuous operation. This eliminates preform inventory, reduces handling contamination, and achieves zero scrap waste — a critical advantage for pharmaceutical and food-contact applications where material purity is non-negotiable.

Application Scenarios
High-Volume Pharmaceutical Packaging
The ZQ135’s 30-cavity capability for 10ml vials makes it the optimal platform for large-batch pharmaceutical production. Eye-drop solutions, oral suspensions, and vaccine adjuvant bottles benefit from the injection blow process’s inherent contamination resistance — no preform handling, no secondary heating, and no particulate generation from scrap regrinding. The 100% sealed neck finish eliminates leakage risks during autoclave sterilization and long-term shelf storage.
Premium Cosmetic & Skincare Jars
Wide-mouth cosmetic jars from 250ml to 1000ml require the ZQ135’s expansive platen and 200kN blow clamping force to maintain uniform wall thickness across large diameters. The superior surface finish of injection blow molding eliminates the visible mold lines and surface waviness common in extrusion blow products, delivering the premium aesthetic demanded by luxury skincare and fragrance brands. Ever-power’s injection blow systems support PS, PP, and PETG materials for crystal-clear or opaque jar production.
Industrial Chemical Containers
HDPE and PP bottles for agricultural chemicals, automotive fluids, and cleaning agents require robust wall construction and precise neck threading for child-resistant closures. The ZQ135’s 1350kN injection clamping force ensures complete mold filling for thick-walled designs, while the 280mm stripping stroke accommodates deep-draw containers with integrated handles or grip features.
Food-Grade Bulk Packaging
Edible oil bottles, sauce containers, and condiment jars up to 1000ml benefit from the ZQ135’s high cavitation at medium volumes. The zero-scrap process aligns with FDA and EU food-contact regulations by eliminating regrind contamination risks. Consistent bottle weight and dimensional stability ensure reliable performance on high-speed filling and capping lines, minimizing downtime from jammed or misaligned containers.
Material & Construction
The ZQ135 is engineered for decades of continuous operation in demanding production environments:

Why Choose ZQ135 Over Alternatives
vs. Extrusion Blow Molding
At 30-cavity pharmaceutical production, the ZQ135 eliminates 20–40% material scrap inherent in extrusion blow processes. Annual material savings for a 24/7 operation typically exceed $180,000. Additionally, the injection blow process achieves ±1% bottle weight consistency versus ±3–5% for extrusion, reducing downstream filling-line calibration frequency and product giveaway.
vs. Two-Step PET Stretch Blow
The one-step ZQ135 eliminates preform injection molding, preform cooling, storage, logistics, and reheating — reducing capital equipment footprint by 40% and labor headcount by 25%. Material flexibility extends beyond PET to HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS, ABS, and specialty polymers, enabling multi-product contract manufacturers to serve diverse markets with a single platform.
vs. Competitor IBM Models
Compared to the Jomar IBM175, the ZQ135 offers a 1300×500mm platen versus 635×1372mm — a wider, more ergonomic layout that simplifies mold installation and maintenance access. The dual 37kW servo pump system delivers superior energy efficiency versus fixed-displacement hydraulic units. Standard high-precision angle divider (included) is an optional upgrade on many competitor models, adding $15,000–$25,000 to their base price.
