Overview
The EP-IBM60 sits at the heart of the Ever-Power EP-IBM range, delivering mid-tier output capacity while retaining the operational simplicity valued by pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging manufacturers. With 600 KN injection clamping force, up to 14 cavities at 10 ml, and a total installed power of just 37 KW, the EP-IBM60 achieves strong output-per-kilowatt economics across a wide range of bottle formats from 1 ml to 2,000 ml.
The 600 × 390 mm platen accommodates moulds for both narrow-neck pharmaceutical vials and wider cosmetic jars, reducing tooling investment compared with running separate machines for different product lines. All major thermoplastic resins are supported: HDPE, LDPE, PP, high-clarity PS, ABS, EVA, and PCTG. The unique pressurised clamping structure keeps the booster cylinder out of the mould open/close cycle, reducing energy consumption by 10–20%.
3-Station Operating Cycle
The EP-IBM60 operates on a synchronised three-station rotary principle where injection, blowing, and auto-ejection occur simultaneously at every 4-second dry-cycle interval. Preform neck geometry and thread form are set permanently at the injection station to injection-mould tolerance. The preform retains injection heat as it rotates to the blow station — no reheating required — before finished bottles are automatically stripped and conveyed to the downstream line.
01
Preform Injection
260–383 g shot capacity with 3+N barrel zones ensures uniform melt delivery across 14 cavities. Neck geometry, thread form, and finish are permanently set at this station.
02
Blow Moulding
100 KN blow clamping force locks the mould during air expansion. Servo rotary table positions the preform with sub-millimetre accuracy at the blow station every cycle.
03
Auto-Ejection
Bottles are stripped from core rods via the 230 mm stripping stroke onto the output conveyor. Rear conveyor connects directly to downstream inspection and packing automation.
Application Industries
The EP-IBM60 is deployed across pharmaceutical packaging (eye-drop bottles, syrup bottles, oral liquid containers, nasal spray vials), premium cosmetic packaging (serums, lotions, roll-on deodorant bottles, cream jars), food and supplement packaging (dairy bottles, vitamin containers, condiment bottles), and daily chemical products. Its 14-cavity capacity at 10 ml supports medium-volume pharmaceutical production targets across two or three daily shifts.

Key Features
600 KN European Clamping
Full European-frame construction delivers 20–30% higher clamping force than industry-standard machines at this capacity level, ensuring dimensional stability across all 14 cavities.
Servo Rotary Indexing
Servo-driven rotary table with absolute encoder accuracy maintains consistent neck alignment across multi-shift pharmaceutical production without recalibration.
Pressure-Boost Clamping
Booster cylinder disengages from mould open/close motion, reducing energy consumption 10–20% versus conventional designs for cost-effective continuous operation.
Hot-Runner Preform System
Optimised hot-runner manifold minimises gram-weight deviation and wall-thickness variation across all 14 cavities, ensuring consistent fill volume for pharmaceutical liquids.
Zero Flash, Zero Waste
IBM process eliminates flash, parison pinch-off seams, and edge trim, delivering zero material waste versus 20–40% scrap typical of extrusion blow moulding.
Inline Automation Ready
Rear conveyor integrates with visual inspection, leak testing, labelling, and packing systems for fully unattended production with maximum OEE.

Process Advantages for Mid-Volume Pharmaceutical Production
Pharmaceutical manufacturers selecting the EP-IBM60 for oral liquid bottles, eye-drop containers, and nasal spray vials benefit from the IBM process’s fundamental precision advantages over extrusion blow moulding. The bottle neck and thread form are injection-moulded to micron-level tolerance at the injection station and are never touched again in the remaining two stations. This means the neck geometry on every bottle from every cavity in the 14-cavity mould is identical to the injection mould design specification, providing the consistent cap-seal performance that pharmaceutical regulatory frameworks require.
Zero material waste is the second critical process advantage. The EP-IBM60 produces finished bottles with no flash, no parison pinch-off seam, and no edge trim to discard. Every gram of HDPE, LDPE, PP, or PCTG fed into the machine exits as a saleable bottle. For a mid-volume pharmaceutical operation running two shifts per day at 14-cavity output, eliminating the 20–40% material waste of extrusion blow moulding produces a measurable reduction in raw-material cost per thousand bottles over the machine’s operational life.
The EP-IBM60’s 600 × 390 mm platen and 160 mm injection stroke provide enough tooling flexibility to run both pharmaceutical narrow-neck formats and larger cosmetic jar formats on the same platform by changing the mould set. This format flexibility reduces the total tooling investment for manufacturers who produce multiple bottle designs across different market sectors and allows a single EP-IBM60 to serve multiple production lines in sequence rather than in parallel.
Total Cost of Ownership
The EP-IBM60’s total cost of ownership over a five-year operating period covers machine purchase, energy consumption, maintenance, tooling, and material cost per bottle. The pressurised clamping structure reduces energy draw by 10–20% versus conventional hydraulic IBM machines of equivalent output, producing an ongoing annual energy cost saving that accumulates significantly over the machine’s service life. Servo rotary table indexing eliminates the wear-driven recalibration cycles associated with mechanical indexing systems, reducing planned maintenance frequency and associated production downtime. The 4Cr13 or S136 steel mould packages supplied by Ever-Power are engineered for the long production run economics of mid-volume pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing, with service lives measured in millions of cycles rather than the shorter tooling life typical of EBM mould sets.
Selecting the EP-IBM60 for Your Production Line
The EP-IBM60 is optimally positioned for manufacturers whose daily output requirements fall between 30,000 and 80,000 bottles per shift at 30 ml, who produce a range of bottle formats between 10 ml and 250 ml across pharmaceutical and cosmetic product lines, and who prioritise total cost of ownership as well as machine performance in their procurement decision. Its 37 KW total installed power and 10–20% energy saving from the pressurised clamping structure make it one of the most energy-efficient hydraulic IBM machines available at 14-cavity output capacity.
Manufacturers who supply both pharmaceutical and cosmetic clients from a single production facility find the EP-IBM60’s platen flexibility particularly valuable. The 600 × 390 mm maximum platen accommodates the full range of pharmaceutical bottle formats specified by most oral liquid, ophthalmic, and nasal spray product categories alongside the 60 ml to 250 ml cosmetic bottle formats most commonly specified for lotion, serum, and personal care applications. A mould change between a pharmaceutical 30 ml oral liquid bottle and a cosmetic 100 ml lotion bottle can be accomplished on the EP-IBM60 in the same facility without moving between machines, reducing changeover downtime and simplifying production scheduling.
For manufacturers planning to expand output in future, the EP-IBM60 provides a clear upgrade path within the EP-IBM range. Production that outgrows the EP-IBM60’s 14-cavity capacity at 10 ml can step up to the EP-IBM80 or EP-IBM110 within the same machine family, with compatible mould tooling standards and consistent process parameters, minimising revalidation effort and operator retraining costs associated with moving to a different machine platform or manufacturer.
