Injection Station

The 55 mm screw melts and meters plastic resin through a precision hot runner manifold onto core rods, forming dimensionally accurate parisons at up to 466 g per shot. The 4+N barrel zone configuration provides finer temperature gradient control across the full screw length — critical for processing high-MW HDPE and heat-sensitive PCTG at higher throughput rates.

Blow Station

Core rods carrying hot parisons index into the blow mold under 120 kN blow clamping force. Compressed air at 0.8–1.2 MPa (slightly higher than 40T/60T class) is injected through the core rod to expand the parison to final bottle shape within the temperature-controlled cavity, achieving wall thickness uniformity better than the extrusion blow molding process.

Stripping Station

Finished bottles are ejected from core rods at the stripping station via a 230 mm stroke, accommodating bottle heights up to 220 mm. Clean stripping without deformation is ensured by the synchronised rotary table lifting mechanism, enabling continuous automated production at 4-second dry cycle time.

Highest Clamping Force in Class — 800 kN

The ZQ80 delivers 800 kN injection clamping force — exceeding Jomar IBM85S (680 kN, +17.6%), SUMA 85iB (720 kN, +11.1%), and Bloma IBM85 (700 kN, +14.3%). Superior clamping force directly reduces flash on high-cavitation tooling, lowers mold wear, and enables the ZQ80 to sustain higher internal injection pressures without platen deflection — critical on 12–20 cavity molds.

466g Injection Weight — 55% More Than Jomar IBM85S

At 466 g per shot, the ZQ80 surpasses the Jomar IBM85S (300 g) by 55.3% and the Bloma IBM85 maximum (310 g) by 50.3%. Only the SUMA 85iB (max 480 g) comes close. This significantly greater shot capacity enables larger bottle sizes, thicker wall specifications, or higher cavity counts per cycle — directly increasing daily output and reducing per-unit cost.

800 x 400mm Wide Platen — Largest in ZQ40–ZQ80 Range

The 800 x 400 mm platen is the widest in the ZQ series up to the 80T class, exceeding Jomar IBM85S (464 x 749 mm, narrower short axis) and providing more balanced width-to-length ratio than competing platforms. This supports symmetric cavity array layouts up to 20 cavities, and accommodates wider-body bottle molds such as feeding bottles and wide-mouth jars not feasible on the 60T platen.

Dual 18.5 kW Motor Architecture

The ZQ80 runs two independent 18.5 kW hydraulic motors — one dedicated to injection, one to clamping — providing completely isolated pressure circuits. This dual-motor design prevents the pressure fluctuations that single-circuit machines experience when injection and clamping demands overlap during the cycle, resulting in more consistent shot weights and more stable clamping force across all cavities simultaneously.

4+N Barrel Zone Configuration

The ZQ80 adds a fourth standard barrel zone (4+N) versus the 3+N configuration on the ZQ40 and ZQ60. The extra zone provides a finer temperature gradient across the screw length, enabling more precise melt conditioning — particularly important for high-MW HDPE used in pharmaceutical containers, and for minimising thermal degradation of heat-sensitive PCTG and high-transparency PS at the higher throughput volumes the 55 mm screw delivers.

Up to 20 Cavities — Maximum Output for Small Bottles

With reference cavitation of 20 cavities for 10 ml, 18 for 30 ml, 14 for 60 ml, and 12 for 100 ml, the ZQ80 provides the highest per-cycle output in the ZQ40–ZQ80 range. For a pharmaceutical manufacturer producing 10 ml vials at 4-second cycles with 20-cavity tooling, theoretical daily output reaches approximately 1.7 million vials per 24-hour shift.

Low-Profile Design at 4.5 x 1.6 x 2m

Despite its 80T class, the ZQ80 stands only 2 metres tall — dramatically more compact in height than the Jomar IBM85S (3.33 x 1.94 x 3.41 m) and SUMA 85iB (4.5 x 2 x 2.6 m). The low-profile European-style frame design reduces ceiling height requirements and facilitates installation in standard industrial buildings without structural modification.

Zero Flash, Pharmaceutical-Grade Bottle Quality

The one-step IBM process on the ZQ80 delivers bottles with zero parting-line flash, no bottom pinch-off scar, and precision-formed neck threads — meeting pharmaceutical primary packaging standards. No lubrication points exist above the mold zone, preventing oil contamination of bottle interiors. Bottle weight deviation across all 20 cavities is maintained within ±1% through the optimised hot runner manifold and mandrel cooling system.

💊 High-Volume Pharmaceutical Production

The ZQ80 is the preferred IBM machine for high-volume pharmaceutical bottle lines — oral liquid containers (30–500 ml), tablet bottles, syrup and tonic bottles, eye dropper bodies, and nasal spray containers. With up to 12-cavity tooling on 100 ml HDPE bottles and a 4-second cycle, a single ZQ80 can produce over 1 million 100 ml pharmaceutical bottles per 24-hour shift. The pharma-compatible lubrication layout and zero-flash production meet GMP and regulatory packaging requirements.

💐 Premium Cosmetics Packaging

Shampoo bottles, conditioner containers, body lotion, serum, and foundation packaging (50 ml to 500 ml). The ZQ80 handles high-transparency PCTG and PS for crystal-clear premium cosmetic containers. Up to 14 cavities on 60 ml bottles enables very high daily output for OEM cosmetic packaging manufacturers supplying retail brands.

🍼 Food & Beverage Containers

Lactic acid bacteria drink bottles (PS), condiment and seasoning containers, vinegar and oil packaging, baby food containers (100 ml to 2,000 ml). The ZQ80 wider platen (800 mm) accommodates larger-footprint molds for family-size food containers not feasible on the ZQ60. Food-grade PP and PCTG processing meets EU and US food-contact packaging regulations.

🥐 Feeding Bottles & Wide-Mouth Jars

PP and PCTG feeding bottle bodies (120–300 ml wide-mouth), baby food puree jars, wide-mouth supplement containers. The 800 mm platen length of the ZQ80 accommodates the wider mold footprints required for wide-body bottle designs. PP feeding bottles produced on the ZQ80 meet BPA-free regulatory requirements for EU, US, and Korean markets.

💧 Daily Chemical & Household Products

Detergent concentrate, fabric softener, dishwashing liquid, and cleaning fluid packaging (250 ml to 2L HDPE/PP). The ZQ80 higher injection weight (466 g) versus the ZQ60 (383 g) enables heavier-wall containers for chemical packaging requiring UN-certified or stackable designs. Field-proven in Brazil and Mexico for 400 ml household chemical packaging production.

📈 Health Supplements & OTC Products

Vitamin tablet bottles, fish oil softgel containers, protein supplement packaging (100–500 ml HDPE/PP). GMP-compatible ZQ80 layout suits nutraceutical manufacturers in the US, Korea, South Africa, and other regulated markets. The zero-flash one-step IBM process eliminates secondary cleaning steps required on extrusion blow molded containers.
