With an injection clamping force of 800 KN and a maximum shot weight of 466 g, the ZQ80 injection blow molding machine delivers measurably stronger output and wider mold compatibility than most comparable machines in its tonnage class. Its three-station rotary table configuration enables simultaneous injection, blowing, and stripping, keeping cycle times tight and output rates consistently high across shifts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #333; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\">UK pharmaceutical, personal care, food and beverage, and household chemical manufacturers have increasingly sought cost-effective alternatives to legacy equipment platforms. The ZQ80 answers that demand directly: it runs the same mold footprint categories as the Bloma IBM85S and similar machines, yet offers a substantially enlarged max platen size of 800 x 400 mm versus the Bloma IBM85\u2019s 620 x 430 mm, opening significantly more flexibility for bottle diameter and cavity count.

Every ZQ80 unit undergoes a factory acceptance test prior to dispatch, covering hydraulic pressure integrity, clamping force verification, dry cycle timing, and PLC control system validation. The facility is ISO-certified and has supplied machines to customers across the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and the wider European Union.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #333; margin: 0 0 12px 0;\">A distinguishing strength of our operation is the depth of customisation available to B2B buyers. Whether you need a non-standard screw geometry for a speciality polymer, a bespoke mold platen adapter to reuse existing tooling from a Bloma IBM85S, a modified PLC interface compatible with your SCADA system, or a CE-compliant electrical panel configured for UK 400V three-phase supply, our engineering team handles the specification process directly with your technical staff. Lead time for standard configurations is typically 60\u201390 days from order confirmation, with custom builds quoted individually.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 12px; width: 100%; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 220px; min-width: 200px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(21,101,192,0.10); display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/isbm-equipment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ep-Injection-Blow-Molding-Machine-workshop-1-1.webp\" alt=\"EP Machinery injection blow molding machine workshop\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 220px; min-width: 200px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(21,101,192,0.10); display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/isbm-equipment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ep-Injection-Blow-Molding-Machine-workshop-2-1.webp\" alt=\"EP Machinery manufacturing facility\" \/><\/div>\n<div style=\"flex: 1 1 220px; min-width: 200px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(21,101,192,0.10); display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/isbm-equipment.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ep-Injection-Blow-Molding-Machine-workshop-3-1.webp\" alt=\"IBM machine production base assembly line\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 10px 0 4px 0;\"><a style=\"display: inline-block; background: linear-gradient(90deg,#0a2342,#1565c0); color: #fff; font-size: 1.05rem; font-weight: bold; padding: 13px 36px; border-radius: 32px; text-decoration: none; letter-spacing: 0.5px; box-shadow: 0 4px 18px rgba(10,35,66,0.22);\" href=\"mailto:sales@isbm-equipment.com\">Get a Custom Quote \u2192 sales@isbm-equipment.com<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- Customer Success Story --><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; background: #fff; padding: 14px 5% 10px 5%;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size: clamp(1.1rem,2.4vw,1.5rem); color: #0a2342; border-left: 5px solid #1565c0; padding-left: 12px; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\">Customer Success: Pharmaceutical Packaging Manufacturer, West Midlands, UK<\/h2>\n<div style=\"background: linear-gradient(135deg,#e3f2fd,#f4f7fb); border-radius: 12px; padding: 18px 20px; border-left: 5px solid #1565c0; margin-bottom: 14px;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #333; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\"><strong>Background:<\/strong> A contract packaging company based in Wolverhampton, UK, operating two ageing Bloma IBM85S machines for HDPE dropper bottle production. Both units were approaching end-of-service-life, with spare parts becoming increasingly difficult to source and cycle times degrading due to hydraulic system wear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #333; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\"><strong>Challenge:<\/strong> The customer needed a direct replacement that could accept existing tooling with minimal modification, maintain production rates of 12-cavity 30 ml dropper bottles across three shifts, and comply with current CE machine directive requirements for the UK market. Budget constraints ruled out European OEM pricing for equivalent equipment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #333; margin: 0 0 10px 0;\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong> EP Machinery supplied two ZQ80 injection blow molding machines with customised mold platen adapters to accept the customer\u2019s existing Bloma-footprint tooling, a modified screw cooling profile optimised for HDPE, and full CE electrical documentation. The machines were installed and commissioned over a two-week period with EP Machinery\u2019s on-site engineer support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 1rem; color: #333; margin: 0 0 0 0;\"><strong>Result:<\/strong> Output per shift increased by approximately 22% compared to the retired equipment, attributable to the ZQ80\u2019s 4-second dry cycle and more consistent clamping force. Energy monitoring showed a 25% reduction in power consumption per 1,000 bottles produced.
