Overview
The EP-IBM135 is the flagship hydraulic model in the Ever-Power EP-IBM series — the highest-capacity standard IBM machine in the range. Delivering 1,350 KN injection clamping force with 30-cavity capacity at 10 ml, a 1,300 × 500 mm platen, and a 650 g injection shot, the EP-IBM135 is built to satisfy the throughput demands of large-scale plastic bottle manufacturers, contract packaging operations, and multi-line integrated production facilities.
Standard dual hydraulic system reduces energy cost per bottle by 20–30% versus single-system competitors — a measurable advantage when the machine runs continuously at 30-cavity density across three daily shifts. Six primary barrel heating zones plus options handle the full thermoplastic resin spectrum from standard HDPE and PP through engineering materials including PCTG, ABS, and bio-based EVA. Bottle volumes from 1 ml to 2,000 ml are supported on the same machine platform.
Key Technical Features
1350 KN Maximum Clamping
Highest clamping force in the standard EP-IBM range ensures absolute mould integrity across 30 cavities at peak production rates without deflection, flash, or cavity-pressure imbalance.
Dual Hydraulics + Angle Divider
Standard dual-circuit hydraulics paired with the precision angle divider deliver 20–30% lower energy consumption and synchronised mould/rotary motion at every cycle throughout the shift.
30-Cavity Platform
30 cavities at 10 ml makes the EP-IBM135 one of the highest-yield IBM machines at this mould footprint, maximising output per square metre of production floor.
1300×500 mm Platen
Largest platen in the EP-IBM series accommodates wide-body moulds for food and chemical containers alongside high-cavity pharmaceutical tooling on the same frame.
6+N Barrel Zones
Six primary zones plus additional options provide melt-temperature resolution for 650 g shot weights and demanding engineering resins at 30-cavity throughput rates.
280 mm Stripping Stroke
Longest stripping stroke in the range ensures reliable simultaneous ejection of tall bottles from all 30 core rods without marking or deformation.
Application Industries
The EP-IBM135 is selected by large-scale manufacturing operations where maximum output per shift is the primary criterion. Pharmaceutical manufacturers produce oral liquid bottles, ophthalmic containers, and diagnostic vials at 30-cavity density. Food converters deploy it for dairy and condiment packaging in HDPE and food-grade PP. Chemical manufacturers value the 30-cavity capacity for chemically resistant container production. OEM contract operations choose the EP-IBM135 for the highest daily output per machine from a single floor position.

Mould System
Complete injection and blow mould packages for the EP-IBM135 are manufactured in 4Cr13 stainless steel or S136 alloy steel. The hot-runner system and preform design are optimised for 650 g shot weights and 30-cavity cavitation density. The 200 KN blow clamping force — the highest in the series — secures large-format moulds during air expansion for consistent wall distribution across all cavities from 1 ml to 2,000 ml. Mould qualification and dimensional inspection documentation available for pharmaceutical validation requirements.
Production Line Integration
Ever-Power supplies the complete auxiliary equipment package for the EP-IBM135 as a fully integrated turnkey line sized for 30-cavity continuous operation. Dual screw air compressors, mould temperature controllers, industrial water chillers, high-speed dual-lane visual inspection, automatic material loaders, and high-speed packing systems are all available. All components are specified and tested together as an integrated system before line acceptance, eliminating the risk of equipment incompatibility after commissioning.

Maximum Capacity IBM — What 30 Cavities Means for Production Economics
The EP-IBM135’s 30-cavity capacity at 10 ml represents the practical maximum of what the standard IBM process can achieve at this mould footprint. With a dry cycle time of 4 seconds and a 30-cavity mould, the EP-IBM135 can theoretically produce 900 bottles per minute at 10 ml — equivalent to 54,000 bottles per hour under optimised production conditions. In practice, accounting for production efficiency factors including mould changes, material transitions, and planned cleaning, real-world throughput for a 24-hour three-shift operation with a 10 ml pharmaceutical bottle on a 30-cavity mould will typically achieve 900,000 to 1.1 million bottles per day. For a manufacturer supplying a major pharmaceutical brand with high-volume eye-drop containers, this output rate from a single machine footprint represents a compelling production economics case.
The 1,350 KN injection clamping force delivered by the EP-IBM135 is not simply a larger version of the force in smaller machines — it is the force required to hold 30 injection cavities closed against the injection pressure of a 650 g shot without allowing flash at any parting line. As cavity count increases, the projected area of the injection mould parting surface increases proportionally, and the injection clamping force must increase at least proportionally to prevent flash formation at the highest cavities furthest from the injection point. The EP-IBM135’s 1,350 KN specification has been validated at 30-cavity production at all bottle volumes in the machine’s range.
The 1,300 × 500 mm maximum platen size on the EP-IBM135 is the largest in the EP-IBM range and enables mould designs that would not fit on smaller platens. For manufacturers producing 500 ml to 1,000 ml food-grade or pharmaceutical bottles in 8 to 10 cavities per cycle, the EP-IBM135’s large platen provides the space needed for wide-body mould designs with adequate cooling channel geometry, while the 280 mm stripping stroke provides the clearance needed for tall bottles to eject cleanly from all cavities simultaneously.
EP-IBM135 — Production Economics at Maximum Hydraulic IBM Capacity
The production economics of the EP-IBM135 are most compelling for manufacturers whose annual bottle volume requirements justify running a single machine at 30-cavity density continuously, rather than running multiple smaller machines in parallel. A single EP-IBM135 operating at 30 cavities on a 10 ml pharmaceutical bottle with a 4-second dry cycle and a realistic 80% OEE efficiency factor will produce approximately 800,000 to 900,000 bottles per 24-hour period. The capital cost of one EP-IBM135 — including mould, auxiliary equipment, and installation — is significantly lower than the combined capital, operating, and maintenance cost of three or four smaller IBM machines producing the same annual volume, while also occupying less total factory floor area and requiring fewer operators per million bottles produced.
The 95 KW total installed power of the EP-IBM135 is large in absolute terms but low per unit of output: at 30-cavity production, the energy consumption per thousand 10 ml bottles is lower for the EP-IBM135 than for any smaller machine in the EP-IBM range, because the fixed overhead of hydraulic pump operation, mould temperature control, and machine ancillaries is spread across a larger number of bottles per cycle. The dual hydraulic system’s 20–30% energy saving versus single-circuit competitors further reduces the energy cost per bottle at the EP-IBM135’s production scale.
For contract packaging manufacturers supplying multiple pharmaceutical and food clients, the EP-IBM135’s large platen and 1–2,000 ml volume range provide the format flexibility needed to serve diverse customer bottle specifications from a single machine. The ability to produce 10 ml pharmaceutical vials at 30-cavity density and 1,000 ml food containers at 8-cavity density on the same platform, by changing the mould set, allows a contract packaging operation to maximise asset utilisation and revenue per machine across a diversified client portfolio.
Resin & Format Compatibility
The EP-IBM135 processes HDPE, LDPE, PP, standard and high-clarity PS, lactic-acid PS, ABS, EVA, PCTG, and environmental corn-based bio-resins. The 650 g injection weight capacity and 6+N barrel heating zones provide the thermal control resolution and shot-size capability needed for all these materials at 30-cavity density. For manufacturers who process PCTG or engineering-grade PP in high cavitation, the 6+N zone configuration ensures uniform melt temperature distribution across the full shot length, maintaining consistent gram-weight and optical quality across all 30 cavities. Custom resin compatibility assessments for grades not listed here are available from our materials engineering team on request.
