What Is an HDPE Jerry Can Mould?

An HDPE jerry can mould is a precision-machined metal tool used in extrusion blow moulding (EBM) machines to form HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) containers — typically 5 litres to 25 litres — for chemicals, lubricants, agro-chemicals, edible oil, water, and industrial fluids. Unlike PET injection stretch blow moulding (ISBM), HDPE jerry can moulds use the extrusion blow process where a molten HDPE parison is extruded and then clamped in the mould and blown to shape.

Ultra Mould manufactures HDPE extrusion blow moulds for jerry cans of all sizes and configurations, serving chemical companies, agro-input manufacturers, lubricant packagers, edible oil refiners, and water distribution companies across India and 20+ countries.

Jerry Can Sizes and Applications

5 Litre Jerry Can: Edible oil (consumer pack), pesticide concentrate, automotive brake fluid, fuel additives
10 Litre Jerry Can: Industrial chemical, lubricant motor oil, agro-chemical, household disinfectant
15 Litre Jerry Can: Industrial lubricants, solvents, agro input chemicals
20 Litre Jerry Can: Bulk water, industrial chemicals, institutional cleaning products
25 Litre Drum/Jerry Can: Chemical exports, industrial fluids, hazardous goods (requires UN certification)

HDPE Jerry Can Mould Design Considerations

Designing a HDPE jerry can mould is more complex than a simple PET bottle mould because of the larger volumes, the use of the extrusion blow process, and the often-critical structural requirements. Our mould designers consider several factors:

Wall thickness distribution: Ensuring uniform HDPE walls — typically 1.2–2.5mm for chemical containers
Handle design: Integrated handle or external clip-on — handle geometry must prevent stress cracking
Neck/bung design: 38mm, 51mm, 63mm or custom diameter — compatible with pump dispensers, pouring caps, UN-approved closures
Base design: Flat base for stacking stability — we design stacking rings and stabiliser ribs
UN Certification: Dangerous goods jerry cans must comply with UN 31HA1 standards — we design to these specifications
Machine compatibility: Bekum, Kautex, Jomar, Sonix, Rajoo EBM machines — each requires specific mould dimensions

HDPE vs LDPE for Jerry Cans

HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) is the material of choice for most jerry cans due to its excellent chemical resistance, rigidity, and impact strength. LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) is softer and used for squeezable containers. For chemical jerry cans, HDPE grade 5502 or 5506 (density 0.952–0.957 g/cc) is standard. For food/edible oil cans, food-contact grade HDPE IS:7328 is required.

💡 Expert Tip: Always specify the exact chemical to be stored in your jerry can. Some aggressive solvents (toluene, xylene, methanol) require modified HDPE grades or fluorinated inner surfaces. Our team will advise on the right material and wall thickness for your application.
