EP-European 5.5x2x2.4M Injection Blow Molding Machine

Superior Clamping Force

With an injection clamping force of 1,350 kN and a blowing clamping force of 200 kN, the EP135 delivers 20–30% greater holding power than most comparable injection blow molding machines on the market. This structural advantage translates directly into tighter dimensional consistency in the finished bottle, particularly at the neck and base, where flash and deformation are most common in lower-spec equipment.

Energy-Efficient Dual Hydraulic System

The pressurized booster clamping structure is standard on the EP135. Crucially, the booster cylinder does not participate in mold opening and closing actions, which cuts unnecessary energy loss during the cycle. Combined with the dual hydraulic system, overall operating power consumption is 20–30% below that of comparable industrial injection blow molding machines, delivering measurable savings on electricity costs in high-volume production environments in Colombia and across the region.

High-Precision Angle Divider

The standard-configured high-precision angle divider ensures perfect synchronization between mold opening and closing and the rotation of the turret tower. This synchronized movement is essential for maintaining consistent bottle quality at high output speeds. The precision mechanism prevents timing drift between stations, reducing reject rates and tooling wear — a significant factor for injection blow moulding operations targeting long-term, continuous production schedules.

Zero-Waste One-Step Process

Unlike extrusion blow molding, the injection stretch blow molding process used in the EP135 produces no parison trimming waste. Bottle weight variation is approximately 1%, wall thickness is uniform throughout, and there is no cut-off seam at the base that weakens bottle integrity. This makes the EP135 particularly suited to pharmaceutical and food-grade applications where container quality and material consistency are regulatory requirements, not just performance preferences.

Wide Material and Volume Compatibility

The EP135 processes HDPE, LDPE, PP, PS (including lactic acid bacteria grade), high-transparency PS, ABS, EVA, PCTG, and environmentally friendly corn-based plastics. Container capacity ranges from 1 ml to 2,000 ml, and mold cavity counts reach up to 30 cavities per shot for 10 ml containers. This breadth of material and size compatibility makes the machine an ideal choice for best injection blow molding machine evaluations by multi-product packaging operations.

Station 1 — Preform Injection

Plastic raw material is fed into the barrel, melted under controlled temperature across up to 6 independently regulated heating zones (6+N configuration), and injected into the preform mold cavity at the prescribed injection pressure and stroke of 200 mm. The bottle neck is shaped to precise dimensions at this station, and the mandrel carrying the parison then rotates to the next station. The injection weight of 650 g ensures the machine can handle larger multi-cavity mold configurations with consistent fill.

Station 2 — Blow Moulding

At the blow moulding station, the hot parison on the mandrel is expanded by compressed air (minimum 0.7–1.2 MPa) into the blow mold cavity. The mold cavity defines the precise exterior shape and surface finish of the finished bottle. The blowing clamping force of 200 kN holds the mold firmly closed during air expansion, preventing flash formation. After the bottle is fully formed and cooled, the mold opens and the turret lifts 70 mm before rotating to the stripping station.

Station 3 — Stripping

At the stripping station, finished bottles are ejected from the mandrel with a stripping stroke of 280 mm. The bottles are automatically removed and transferred downstream for packaging or filling without manual intervention. Because all three stations operate simultaneously in each 4-second dry cycle, the injection blow moulding process on the EP135 achieves high throughput with no idle time between phases. The compact system footprint of 5.5 x 2 x 2.4 M allows installation in standard production bays.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Drug bottles, tablet containers, liquid medicine bottles, and eye drop bottles demand tight dimensional control and hygienic production. The injection blow molding machine process produces bottles with no cut-off seam, no flash at the mouth or base, and 100% sealed thread dimensions — meeting the strict pharmacopoeia packaging standards applicable in Colombia (INVIMA), the EU (EU 2023/2006), and internationally (ISO 15747).

Cosmetic Packaging

Lotion bottles, cream jars, shampoo containers, and perfume auxiliaries require an attractive surface finish and consistent wall thickness that injection blow moulding delivers reliably. The high-cavity capacity (up to 30 cavities at 10 ml) means cosmetic brands in Colombia can achieve competitive per-unit cost while maintaining premium visual quality with the small injection blow molding machine option as well as high-volume configurations.

Food and Beverage

Food-grade PP and HDPE bottles for condiments, sauces, yogurt drinks, and edible oils are produced in compliance with food contact materials regulations. In Colombia, the applicable standard is the Resolución 683 de 2012 (MSPS) for food contact plastics. The EP135 supports this with its zero-waste process, HDPE and PP material compatibility, and the ability to produce wide-mouth jars and feeding bottles with consistent neck finishes.

Chemical and Daily-Use Products

Cleaning products, disinfectants, agricultural chemicals, and personal care items stored in HDPE or LDPE bottles are a major volume segment for industrial this equipments in Colombia and across South America. The EP135 handles these applications with its wide-bore screw, high injection weight, and multi-zone temperature control that ensures proper melt homogeneity for chemically resistant packaging.

Healthcare and Baby Products

Baby feeding bottles, medical dropper bottles, and health supplement containers require materials like PCTG and ABS that combine clarity, toughness, and BPA-free credentials. The EP135 processes these specialty materials smoothly through its 6+N barrel zone configuration, producing containers that meet European EN 14350 standards for child care articles and equivalent Colombian regulations enforced by ICONTEC.

Colombia — INVIMA

The Instituto Nacional de Vigilancia de Medicamentos y Alimentos (INVIMA) regulates pharmaceutical and food packaging in Colombia. Plastic containers for drugs must comply with the Colombian Pharmacopoeia requirements on container integrity, extractables, and labelling. Food-contact plastics are governed by Resolución 683 de 2012. Manufacturers using the EP135 for pharmaceutical output should ensure their bottle specifications are registered and approved before commercial distribution.

European CE Marking

The EP135 is produced to European structural standards and carries CE certification relevant to machinery safety (EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC). This is significant for Colombian importers sourcing from european this machine manufacturers, as CE documentation simplifies customs compliance and demonstrates conformity with recognized safety engineering standards for industrial equipment.

ISO and International Standards

Globally, plastic container production is aligned with ISO 15747 (plastic containers for inhalation products), ISO 8317 (child-resistant packaging), and ASTM standards for material testing. European the unit parts and process parameters on the EP135 are designed to meet these widely referenced international quality benchmarks, supporting exporters targeting the US, EU, and regional Latin American markets simultaneously.

Environmental Regulations

Colombia Law 1672 of 2013 on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and the broader CONPES 3874 circular economy policy encourage low-waste production. The zero-waste injection blow moulding process of the EP135 — eliminating the 20–40% flash waste inherent in extrusion blow molding — directly supports these environmental targets. Buyers sourcing this machine can position their operation as compliant with emerging plastic waste reduction mandates in Colombia and across Latin America.

Air Compressor

The EP135 requires a stable compressed air supply of 0.7–1.2 MPa at 0.7 M³/min for the blow moulding station. A compatible oil-free air compressor is essential to protect mold surfaces and maintain product hygiene in pharmaceutical and food-grade applications. Pairing the this equipment with a properly sized air compressor ensures consistent blowing pressure and eliminates contamination risk.

Mold Temperature Controller

A Mold Temperature Controller (mould temperature machine) maintains stable mold surface temperatures, which directly affects cycle time, bottle clarity, and dimensional consistency. Using a matched controller with the EP-European this machine reduces thermal variation between cavities, producing consistent gram weight and wall thickness across the full platen width of 1300×500 mm on every shot.

"We replaced our old ASB injection molding machine with the EP135 about fourteen months ago, and the difference in clamping stability has been very noticeable — especially on our 100 ml pharmaceutical bottles. Reject rates from neck flash dropped significantly in the first month. The dual hydraulic system also reduced our monthly electricity bill more than we expected, which matters a lot for a mid-size operation like ours. Installation support was professional and the team stayed until everything was running properly."

— Production Manager, Pharmaceutical Packaging Facility, Colombia

"We were looking for an this system supplier who could also advise on the full line, not just sell us the machine. The technical support we received before and after the order was genuinely useful — they helped us select the right mold cavity count for our 250 ml cosmetic bottles and recommended a compatible mold temperature controller that cut our cycle time by almost half a second. That adds up to a lot of extra output per shift. Solid equipment, honest advice."
