The ZQ40 is a compact, high-value injection-blow molding solution tailored for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), startups, and scenarios needing flexible, small-batch production—filling the gap between mini lab machines and mid-sized models like the ZQ60. It prioritizes "small-batch efficiency," space-saving design, and low entry costs, making it ideal for businesses testing new products, producing custom packaging, or meeting niche market demands. Below is its core value, grounded in practical use cases:
Unlike large machines (ZQ80) focused on mass output, the ZQ40 excels at scenarios where "flexibility over volume" is key:
- Niche production: Perfect for small-batch runs (500–5,000 units per order) such as local beverage brands’ limited-edition bottles, beauty brands’ sample-size containers (10–50ml), or small medical firms’ specialized reagent bottles. A regional tea brand, for example, used it to make 300ml seasonal fruit tea bottles (1,200 units/week) without overproducing waste.
- 1–4 cavity mold support: Balances output and customization—switch between 1-cavity (for large custom parts, e.g., 2L unique-shaped cosmetic jars) and 4-cavity (for small standard parts, e.g., 50ml sauce bottles) in 30 minutes or less (faster than the ZQ60’s 1-hour swap). This means a startup can toggle between "custom gift packaging" and "standard product bottles" in a single day.
- Sample & prototype readiness: No need for expensive lab equipment—its precision allows direct production of market-ready prototypes (e.g., new bottle designs for consumer testing), cutting the "sample-to-mass-production" cycle by 50% for a skincare startup.
The ZQ40’s small footprint (only 15–20㎡, 40% smaller than the ZQ60) fits in narrow workshops or startup offices, but it doesn’t sacrifice core performance:
- Stable precision for small parts: Adopts a miniaturized closed-loop control system, maintaining ±2% accuracy in material dosing—critical for tiny parts like 10ml essential oil vials or 30ml medical syringes. A small pharmaceutical firm reported defect rates of just 1.5% for 50ml reagent bottles, meeting industry quality standards.
- Efficient small-batch output: For 500ml standard bottles, it produces 100–150 units per hour—enough to meet small brands’ monthly demand (e.g., 3,000–4,500 units) without idle time. Its continuous operation stability (6+ hours nonstop) also avoids frequent startup/shutdown waste.
For SMEs and startups with limited budgets, the ZQ40 reduces "production threshold" significantly:
- Affordable initial investment: Purchasing cost is 30–40% lower than the ZQ60, and 60% lower than the ZQ80—no need for large capital expenditure to start production.
- Low energy & maintenance costs: Equipped with a 15–20kW energy-saving motor (vs. 30kW+ for the ZQ80), cutting monthly electricity bills by 40%. Core parts (e.g., injection screws) use wear-resistant materials, with a lifespan of 50,000+ cycles—maintenance costs are 25% lower than mid-sized machines.
- No professional technician required: Its 7-inch touchscreen has preset production parameters (e.g., "PET bottle," "PP reagent vial")—new operators can master basic operations in 1–2 days, saving training costs.
The ZQ40’s versatility makes it a staple in niche sectors where "one-size-fits-all" large machines fail:
- Beauty & personal care: Produces small-volume packaging (5–50ml) for serums, face oils, or hair masks—supports clear, frosted, or colored resin with consistent transparency.
- Small-scale medical: Makes non-sterile medical parts (e.g., 100ml urine collection cups, small reagent bottles) with food-grade/resistant materials, complying with national medical packaging standards.
- Lab & research: Assists universities or R&D labs in making small-batch test samples (e.g., new biodegradable packaging materials) for performance verification.
In short, the ZQ40 isn’t just a "small machine"—it’s a "cost-effective starter tool" for businesses starting out, testing new products, or serving niche markets. It proves that "small scale" doesn’t mean "low quality"—instead, it delivers the flexibility and precision SMEs need to grow.
