Injection Blow Molding Machine
Replacement of Jomar IBM135 Injection Blow Molding Machine – ZQ110
Brand references are for equipment comparison and customer selection purposes only. We do not sell or represent the referenced brands.
The ZQ110 injection blow molding machine is engineered as a high-performance, cost-efficient alternative to the Jomar IBM135, offering British and European manufacturers a modern production platform without the legacy overhead. Designed around a full European-style structural frame, the ZQ110 delivers a 1100 kN injection clamping force — closely matching the IBM135 class while offering measurable advantages in footprint, energy consumption, and mold compatibility. For UK pharmaceutical, personal care, and food-grade packaging producers seeking a reliable upgrade or direct IBM135 replacement, the ZQ110 presents a technically sound and commercially attractive path forward.
Built on a pressurised clamping structure where the booster cylinder operates independently of the open/close sequence, the machine achieves energy consumption 20–30% lower than comparable industry units, according to our manufacturing team’s internal benchmarks. The standard high-precision angle divider synchronises opening, closing, and turret lifting in a single integrated action — a mechanical arrangement that markedly reduces cycle variability and improves part consistency across extended production runs. With a dry cycle of just 4 seconds and a total installed power of 80 kW, the ZQ110 is built for sustained high-throughput operation in demanding UK production environments.

Why UK Manufacturers Choose the ZQ110
20–30% Lower Energy Consumption
The independent pressurised clamping cylinder reduces hydraulic demand during the open/close cycle, cutting operating costs significantly over the machine lifetime.
Precision Angle Divider
The synchronised rotary table mechanism coordinates injection, blowing, and stripping in a unified mechanical sequence, minimising part-to-part variation across high-volume runs.
1100 kN Clamping Force
A full European-style frame delivers a clamping force that is 20–30% greater than comparable machines in the same class, supporting wider mould plates and more complex tooling.
Wide Volume Range: 1–2000 ml
From single-dose pharmaceutical vials through to 2-litre food and household containers, the ZQ110 handles the full spectrum with no fundamental tooling redesign required.
Hydraulic Double System Standard
Dual 22 kW motors operate in a balanced hydraulic circuit, providing redundancy and allowing controlled pressure delivery across each phase of the production cycle.
Compact UK-Friendly Footprint
At 5 x 1.8 x 2.2 m, the ZQ110 fits comfortably within the lower ceiling clearances common in older British manufacturing facilities, with no structural modifications required.
How the ZQ110 Injection Blow Moulding Process Works
The ZQ110 operates on the three-station injection blow moulding principle, where each production cycle moves material through an integrated rotary sequence. In station one, molten resin — typically HDPE, PP, or PET depending on the application — is injected around a core rod to form a precisely dimensioned parison. The injection weight of 540 g and a 65 mm screw with a 22:1 L/D ratio provide excellent melt homogeneity, which is particularly critical for pharmaceutical-grade containers requiring wall thickness uniformity within tight tolerances.
The parison transfers to station two under the coordinated motion of the precision angle divider, where the blow mould closes with 150 kN of clamping force and compressed air at 0.7–1.2 MPa inflates the preform against the cavity walls. Because the booster cylinder does not participate in the open/close action, the machine avoids the pressure transients that commonly cause flash or witness lines in cavity tooling. Station three handles stripping and ejection with a 260 mm stripping stroke before the core rod returns to station one and the cycle repeats.
The 5+N barrel heating zone configuration gives process engineers independent temperature control across each zone, allowing precise profiling for heat-sensitive materials such as LDPE personal care formulations or PVC pharmaceutical vials. Cooling is managed through a 4 m3/h water circuit maintained at 0.3–0.4 MPa, ensuring rapid and repeatable part solidification cycle after cycle. The combination of these systems yields a dry cycle of 4 seconds, translating to genuine throughput competitiveness with legacy Jomar IBM135-class equipment at a substantially lower cost of ownership.
Auxiliary Equipment & Bottle Samples
Application Sectors Across the United Kingdom
Across the United Kingdom, the ZQ110 injection blow molding machine finds its most productive applications in sectors where container precision, material cleanliness, and consistent wall thickness are non-negotiable. Pharmaceutical manufacturers in areas such as the Midlands, North West England, and the central belt of Scotland use IBM technology extensively for producing tamper-evident caps, syrup bottles, and nasal spray containers. The ZQ110 supports HDPE and PP processing with the temperature control resolution needed to meet British and European pharmacopoeial standards for primary packaging materials.
💊 Pharmaceutical
Syrup bottles, tablet containers, nasal sprays, dropper bottles, eye-care vials — all within GMP-compatible HDPE or PP.
💊 Personal Care
Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and serum bottles in high-clarity PP or LDPE, manufactured to cosmetics-grade surface quality.
🍕 Food & Beverage
Sauce bottles, condiment jars, honey containers, and food-grade HDPE vessels meeting UK FSA material requirements.
⚒ Agrochemical
Chemical-resistant HDPE containers for crop protection fluids and fertiliser concentrates, with wide-mouth configurations available.
💧 Household Chemicals
Cleaning product bottles, trigger-spray bases, and detergent containers at 250–2000 ml volumes with child-resistant neck compatibility.
Customer Success: UK Pharmaceutical Packaging Manufacturer
Client: Meridian Plastics Ltd, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Industry: Pharmaceutical primary packaging / personal care
Challenge: Meridian had been operating a pair of Jomar IBM135 machines for over 12 years. Rising maintenance costs, increasingly difficult spare parts sourcing from the US, and a new contract requiring 100 ml and 250 ml HDPE pharmaceutical bottles at tighter wall-thickness tolerances prompted a review of the machine fleet.
Solution: After a technical evaluation at our facility, Meridian ordered two ZQ110 units configured for 10-cavity and 14-cavity HDPE tooling respectively. The machines were delivered, installed, and commissioned within 11 weeks. Our engineering team provided on-site process training for Meridian’s operators, covering barrel temperature profiling, hydraulic pressure setting, and mould change procedures.
Outcome: Within the first three months of production, Meridian reported a 23% reduction in energy cost per thousand parts versus the previous Jomar IBM135 line, attributable primarily to the ZQ110’s pressurised clamping architecture. Cycle time remained equivalent, wall-thickness consistency improved measurably with the 5-zone barrel control, and the client successfully passed its first MHRA facility inspection covering the new equipment line.

What Our Clients Say
“We replaced our old IBM machine with the ZQ110 and the difference in running costs was immediate. The mould changeover is straightforward and the technical support team has been genuinely responsive. The machine runs cleanly and quietly on our production floor.”
— Production Manager, Personal Care Packaging Company, Manchester, UK
“We were sceptical about moving away from a well-known Western brand, but the ZQ110 spec sheet matched our Jomar IBM135 application closely and the price was compelling. After six months of running pharmaceutical HDPE bottles, we would not hesitate to order again.”
— Procurement Director, Pharmaceutical Contract Packer, West Midlands, UK
“The cavity output on the 100 ml and 250 ml configurations is excellent. The machine footprint is smaller than expected and fits our available floor space with room for the chiller and dryer. Lead time from order to installation was faster than we anticipated.”
— Technical Director, Food-Grade Container Producer, Leeds, UK
