What Is the EVER POWER EP40 One-Step Injection Blow Molding Machine?
The EVER POWER EP40 is a fully automatic one-step IBM (Injection Blow Molding) machine engineered for precision hollow container production. As a dedicated injection blow molding machine manufacturer, EVER POWER has concentrated decades of tooling and process expertise into this model, delivering a machine where the entire bottle - from preform injection to final blowing to ejection - is completed in a single machine cycle without operator intervention, without material transfer between machines, and without the flash and parting-line waste that characterize extrusion blow systems.
Este one step IBM machine is the preferred choice for pharmaceutical bottle blowing and cosmetic container manufacturing where dimensional consistency is non-negotiable. Each cycle on the EP40 runs three simultaneous operations: while new preforms are being injection-molded at Station 1, the previous batch is being blown to final shape at Station 2, and the completed bottles from Station 2 are being stripped and conveyed to the outfeed conveyor at Station 3. This triaxial parallelism means the productive output equals the injection cycle time alone - not the sum of injection plus blowing plus ejection - giving the EP40 a significant throughput advantage over two-stage stretch blow systems for small and medium volume containers.
Three-Station Process: How the EP40 Works
Station 1 - Preform Injection
Plastic granules are melted in the barrel and injected into the injection cavity under controlled pressure. The bottle neck and thread geometry are formed precisely in the injection mold. The injection mold opens and the mandrel carrying the hot preform transfers to Station 2 via the rotary turret.
Station 2 - Blow Molding
The hot preform is inflated by compressed air from the mandrel core. The bottle shape is determined entirely by the blow mold cavity. Air inflates the preform outward against the cooled mold walls, and the bottle assumes its final dimensions. The mold opens and the turret advances to Station 3.
Station 3 - Ejection and Conveying
The finished, cooled bottles are stripped from the mandrels and discharged onto the outfeed conveyor. Since all three stations operate simultaneously, the cycle repeats continuously. There is no secondary operation, no deflashing press, and no bottle reheating required - the three operations share one cycle clock.

Core Hardware Architecture of the EP40
Full European-Style Steel Frame
CNC-machined monolithic machine bed and platen mounts ensure parallelism between injection and blow clamping platens. Tie-bar surfaces are induction-hardened. The EP40 clamping force is 20-30% above equivalent-tonnage competitors due to the boosted pressurized clamping structure.
Bimetallic Screw and Barrel
The plasticizing unit uses a bimetallic-lined barrel and a hardened alloy screw rated for glass-fiber and mineral-filled compounds. The EP40 screw diameter of 40/45 mm at 22:1 L/D delivers thorough homogenization with a 190/260 g shot capacity, covering the full range of bottle weights for this tonnage class.
Proportional Valve Hydraulic Control
Both injection pressure and blow pressure are regulated through servo-proportional hydraulic valves. This allows multi-stage injection profiling (fill velocity, switchover, pack pressure) for thin-walled preforms, and precise blow pressure ramp control that eliminates the radial webbing defects common in single-stage blow valve systems.
PLC Touch-Screen Control System
The EP40 control panel runs a full-color PLC touch-screen with parameter recipe storage. All process variables - temperatures, pressures, velocities, timings - are set and monitored from a single screen. Alarm history, production counters and fault codes are logged and displayed in real time.
Optimized Hot Runner System
The injection mold hot runner manifold is designed for zero dead-zone flow, ensuring gram weight deviation across all cavities is minimized. Temperature control accuracy to plus or minus 1 degree prevents degradation of heat-sensitive materials and is essential for consistent clarity in transparent containers.
Special Core Rod Design
The mandrels (core rods) feature internal cooling channels that reduce core temperature between the injection and blow stations, accelerating the cooling phase. Fast-cycle mandrels enable the EP40 to achieve a 3.5 S dry cycle without sacrificing preform cooling uniformity or dimensional stability.
Injection Blow Molding vs. Extrusion Blow Molding: Why IBM Wins for Precision Containers
Buyers evaluating hollow container equipment often compare IBM and EBM on capital cost alone. The EP40 is more than a machine choice - it is a process choice that determines your long-term production economics and the quality ceiling your facility can achieve. The comparison below reflects real production differences that directly affect your cost per thousand bottles and your ability to win pharmaceutical and cosmetic supply contracts.
| No. | Comparison Item | Injection Blowing (IBM) | Extrusion Blowing (EBM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bottle Weight Consistency | Weight variation approx 1% | Weight variation approx 3% |
| 2 | Wall Thickness Uniformity | Uniform wall thickness throughout | Wall thickness varies 10-20% |
| 3 | Bottle Neck / Thread | No flash, no parting line on neck | Cut-off mark, weakened base and neck |
| 4 | Base Convexity | Strong positive convexity, stable base | Weak convexity due to pinch weld |
| 5 | Material Waste | Zero waste - no flash or scrap | 20-40% scrap from pinch flash |
| 6 | Ultra-Thin Wall Capability | Less suitable for very thin walls | Wall thickness adjustable via controller |
| 7 | Environment Sensitivity | Not sensitive to ambient changes | Frequent adjustment required |
| 8 | Cavity Count and Output | High cavitation, high yield, flat mouth | Fewer cavities, lower output, uneven neck |
| 9 | Mould Life and Cost | Long mould life, suits sustained high-volume runs | Shorter mould life, lower initial cost |
| 10 | Huella | Compact integrated system, small footprint | More auxiliary equipment, larger floor area |
| 11 | Oval Container Forming | More challenging to form oval shapes | Easier to form oval profiles |

Servo-Hydraulic System vs. Conventional Hydraulic: A Technical Breakdown
The EP40 incorporates a high-response servo-hydraulic drive system that fundamentally changes how energy is consumed during the molding cycle. In a conventional fixed-displacement hydraulic pump, the motor runs at full speed regardless of demand - wasting energy as heat during low-load phases such as dwell, cooling and ejection. The servo motor on the EP40 constantly matches pump displacement to actual demand, reducing motor speed to near-zero during the cooling and hold phase.
The practical result: operating power consumption sits at just 52-70% of total installed power, compared to 80-90% for conventional systems. Oil temperature rise is dramatically suppressed - typically 5-8 degrees Celsius per hour vs. 15-20 degrees for fixed-pump systems - which extends hydraulic seal life and reduces the frequency of oil changes and filter replacements. Noise at the hydraulic station drops below 70 dB(A) during cooling phases, improving the working environment.
During the high-pressure injection and clamping phase, the servo system delivers instant peak torque response for precise pressure and speed profiling. This fine control reduces flash formation at the parting line and ensures consistent preform weight shot-to-shot. For pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging where every milligram of wall thickness matters, this repeatability directly translates to fewer rejections and lower material cost per thousand bottles.
Investment Return and Production Efficiency Analysis: Why Choose the EP40?
The acquisition cost of the EP40 must be evaluated against five measurable efficiency drivers that determine cost per thousand bottles and payback period. Purchasing engineers who evaluate only machine price - without these five factors - systematically undervalue the IBM platform and overestimate EBM economics for their target application.
1. Zero Flash Scrap
IBM produces no flash and no pinch-line scrap. EBM generates 20-40% of bottle weight as scrap per cycle. At 200 tons of PP per year, zero-scrap IBM saves 40-80 tons of resin annually. At 1,500 USD per ton, that is 60,000-120,000 USD in raw material savings per year from one machine alone.
2. No Deflashing Labor
EBM requires a secondary deflashing operation - either inline mechanical or manual - adding labor cost, a second machine footprint, and an additional quality failure point. IBM bottles from the EP40 come off the conveyor with zero post-processing required before filling or labeling, saving 1-3 operators per shift.
3. Short Dry Cycle Throughput
The EP40 achieves a 3.5 S dry cycle. With 6 cavities at 60ml, annual output at 6,000 hours run time exceeds 37.0 million bottles. This throughput concentration into a single compact machine reduces total asset investment per unit of capacity versus multi-machine EBM lines at equivalent output.
4. Quick Mold Changeover
The injection mold and blow mold on the EP40 can be changed in 2-4 hours by a trained two-person team. Recipe recall from the PLC removes setup time entirely for repeat jobs. Facilities running 8-15 SKUs on a single EP40 achieve mold changeover frequency of 2-4 per week with total changeover downtime below 10% of available production hours.
Footprint and Utility Efficiency
The EP40 footprint of 3.5x1.3x1.7 M consolidates injection, blow and ejection into a single machine envelope. Compare this to a two-machine EBM line (extruder plus blow machine, plus deflash press, plus conveyor) which typically occupies 3-4 times the floor area for equivalent throughput. Utility connections - compressed air at 0.7-1.2 MPa, cooling water at 3.5 M3/h flow, electrical connection at 20 KW total - are all single-point utilities, reducing installation complexity and ongoing maintenance overhead.
Factory building cost in pharmaceutical-grade cleanroom environments can reach 2,000-5,000 USD per square meter. The compact footprint of the EP40 directly reduces the cleanroom area required to produce a given volume of output - a capital benefit that does not appear in machine comparison tables but materially affects total project economics.
EP Series IBM Mould Characteristics and Design Standards
- ■Active cavity and neck-block design - injection mold cavities and neck blocks are independently adjustable, allowing preform tube body dimensions to be fine-tuned without replacing the entire mold set. Oil and water passages are purpose-designed for stable temperature distribution and easy disassembly.
- ■Premium steel grades - injection mold bodies use 4Cr13 stainless steel or imported high-strength S136 alloy steel. S136 is a mirror-polish, corrosion-resistant steel with through-hardness to 52 HRC. Blow mold bodies can be manufactured in magnesium-aluminum alloy for superior thermal conductivity and reduced inertia mass on the rotary turret.
- ■Optimized hot runner and preform design - the hot runner manifold is engineered to minimize gram weight deviation across all cavities and to reduce wall thickness variation in the preform body. The mandrel design ensures uniform air delivery for consistent blow expansion and fast cooling.
- ■Precision neck thread and seal dimensions - bottle mouth inner and outer diameters, thread pitch and flange geometry are machined to drawing tolerance. Cap sealing rate is 100% across production-run samples.
- ■Zero flash at neck and base - the IBM process geometry eliminates parting-line flash at the bottle mouth and pinch-weld flash at the base. Bottles exit the EP40 with no trimming required at either end.
- ■Product consistency metrics - size, weight, parting line position and wall thickness are consistent across all cavities and across production batches, enabling pharmaceutical clients to validate production on a per-batch statistical basis without 100% inspection overhead.
Equipment Selection Guide: Is the EP40 Right for Your Production Requirements?
Selecting the correct IBM tonnage requires calculating the intersection of three variables: preform weight, required cavity count, and target output per hour. Use this framework to confirm whether the EP40 is correctly sized for your application, or to understand what production parameters it can support.
Step 1: Calculate Preform Weight
Take the target bottle weight in grams (including the neck, body and base). Add 2-5% for process cushion. The EP40 injection weight of 190/260 g must be equal to or greater than (target preform weight x number of cavities). For example: a 5g preform at 8 cavities requires 40g shot weight, well within the 190/260 g capacity.
Step 2: Calculate Required Cavity Count
Target output (bottles/hour) divided by (3600 seconds / cycle time in seconds) gives required cavities. At a 3.5 S cycle and 10,000 bottles per hour target: 10,000 / (3600 / 3.5) = 10 cavities minimum. Cross-check against the cavity table above to confirm the EP40 can deliver this at your bottle volume.
Step 3: Verify Mould Platen Fit
The injection mould layout (cavity array footprint) must fit within the EP40 max platen size of 480x340 mm. Wide-bottle (diameter greater than 120mm) or tall-bottle (height greater than 220mm) applications exceed the EP40 mould envelope and require a larger model. Confirm your bottle OD and height before specifying cavity count.
Step 4: Material and Injection Pressure
PP requires higher injection pressure and melt temperature than LDPE. PC and PETG require even higher barrel temperatures and longer residence-time plasticization. The EP40 hydraulic system pressure of 14 MPa and motor of 11 KW supports the injection forces needed for PP and engineering grade materials at the rated injection weight. Confirm your resin specification with the EVER POWER application team before ordering.

Machine Structure Overview and Maintenance Guidelines
The EP40 is built around three core functional modules. Understanding their maintenance requirements is essential for sustaining the machine performance metrics - dry cycle, output rate, and product quality - over the full production life of the equipment.
Module 1 - Injection Unit: Screw, Barrel, Hot Runner
The injection unit melts and meters plastic into the preform cavity. Daily maintenance: check barrel temperature profiles against set points, inspect the screw tip and check ring for wear indicators, and verify hot runner zone temperatures are within 2 degrees of set points before startup. Weekly: inspect barrel insulation bands, check injection cylinder seals for oil weeping, and purge any color contamination from previous production. Monthly: pull and clean the check ring and screw tip assembly; inspect screw flights for wear and measure barrel bore diameter for clearance. Replace barrel if clearance exceeds manufacturer tolerance to prevent melt bypass and shot weight inconsistency.
Purging procedure: when changing from dark to light colors or from engineering resin to commodity resin, use a commercial purging compound at a barrel temperature 10 degrees above the new material set point. Run 5-10 purge shots before switching to the new material. Never leave the barrel idle at processing temperature for more than 20 minutes without purging - thermal degradation during idle periods is the primary cause of black speck contamination on restart.
Module 2 - Clamping and Rotary Indexing Unit
The clamping system and rotary indexer carry the highest mechanical loads and have the most precise positional requirements. Daily: apply grease to tie-bar surfaces and rotary table guide rails per the lubrication schedule (EVER POWER specifies the grease grade - do not substitute with general-purpose grease, which may not maintain viscosity at operating temperature). Inspect hydraulic clamping cylinder for oil seepage at rod seal. Listen for unusual sounds during the indexing rotation - any metallic click or hesitation indicates an angular divider bearing requiring inspection.
Monthly: check platen parallelism with a dial indicator across four tie-bar positions; deviation greater than 0.05mm requires re-shimming. Check indexing position accuracy by placing a dial indicator against a reference surface on the turret and verifying that the same position is repeated to within 0.02mm after 100 consecutive indexing cycles. If drift is observed, adjust the mechanical stop or contact EVER POWER service.
Module 3 - Hydraulic System and Cooling Circuit
The hydraulic system is the energy backbone of the EP40. System pressure is set at 14 MPa. Daily: check hydraulic oil level in the tank sight glass, check oil temperature display (normal operating range 40-55 degrees Celsius; above 60 degrees indicates a cooling circuit problem or filter blockage), and inspect all visible hydraulic hose fittings for weeping. The oil filter indicator must be checked every 250 hours - a red indicator requires immediate filter element replacement, not deferral.
Cooling circuit: the EP40 requires clean, scale-free cooling water at 0.3-0.4 MPa pressure and 3.5 M3/h flow. Install a water treatment system upstream of the machine to prevent calcium scale buildup inside mold cooling channels. Scale buildup of just 1mm in a 6mm channel reduces cooling efficiency by over 30%, extending cycle times and reducing output. Flush cooling circuits with a descaling solution annually. Chiller water quality must be neutral pH (6.5-7.5) and contain an anti-corrosion inhibitor compatible with copper and aluminum alloy mold materials.

Auxiliary Equipment Available with the EP40
Quality Control and Manufacturing Standards
CNC Machining of Critical Components
Machine bed, clamping platens, and all precision surfaces are CNC-machined in single setups to guarantee geometric accuracy. Platen parallelism is verified by laser measurement to 0.02mm. Tie-bar bores are honed to H7 tolerance for interference-free bearing fit.
Tie-Bar Induction Hardening
Tie-bars undergo high-frequency induction hardening to surface hardness of 52-58 HRC followed by precision grinding. This surface treatment provides wear resistance against the repeated sliding contact of clamping platens over millions of cycles without galling or fretting.
Hydraulic Circuit Cleanliness
All hydraulic circuits are flushed, pressure-tested and particle-count verified before assembly. Hydraulic oil cleanliness is maintained at ISO 4406 Class 17/15/12 as a minimum. Proportional and servo valve contamination sensitivity requires this level of cleanliness to prevent valve spool sticking and control drift.
72-Hour Factory Run-In Test
Every EP40 undergoes a minimum 72-hour continuous loaded run test at the factory before shipment. During this period, production output samples are measured for weight consistency, wall thickness uniformity, and dimensional accuracy. Any parameter outside specification triggers a hold and corrective action before the machine is cleared for delivery.
CE Safety Compliance
The EP40 is CE-marked in compliance with EU Machinery Directive requirements. Safety features include: interlocked safety doors with hydraulic circuit interrupt, light curtain protection at the operator access zone, emergency stop at all operator positions, and two-hand operator control for manual mold setting.
