High Speed HDPE 5L Jerrycan Plastic Extrusion Blow Molding Machine

What is a Jerry Can Blow Molding Machine?

Key Features of the 5-10L Double Station Double Die Head Machine

1. Dual Stations for Simultaneous Production
   The machine incorporates two independent stations, each equipped with a die head. This allows operators to produce two jerry cans simultaneously, doubling the output compared to single-station models. The dual setup also ensures continuous operation, minimizing downtime between cycles.
2. Precision Die Head Technology
   The dual die heads are designed to extrude molten plastic (parison) with exceptional accuracy. They enable adjustable wall thickness distribution, ensuring uniformity across the container and reducing material waste. This feature is critical for meeting safety standards in fuel storage applications.
3. High-Speed Performance
   With a cycle time of 20-30 seconds per can, the machine achieves production rates of up to 120-180 units per hour. This efficiency is ideal for large-scale manufacturers aiming to meet tight deadlines and market demands.
4. Versatile Material Compatibility
   It supports a range of plastics, including HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene), and PP (Polypropylene). HDPE is particularly favored for jerry cans due to its chemical resistance and durability.
5. Energy-Efficient Design
   Modern models integrate servo motors, energy-saving heaters, and optimized cooling systems to reduce power consumption by up to 30% compared to older-generation machines. This not only lowers operational costs but also aligns with sustainability goals.
6. User-Friendly Control System
   A touchscreen PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) interface allows operators to monitor and adjust parameters in real time, including temperature, pressure, and cycle times. Recipe storage capabilities enable quick setup for different container sizes or materials.
7. Safety and Compliance
   The machine adheres to international safety standards (e.g., CE, ISO) and incorporates features like emergency stop buttons, safety guards, and automatic error detection to protect operators and prevent damage.

How Does It Work?

1. Extrusion
   Plastic pellets are melted and extruded into a hollow tube (parison) by the die head. The dual die heads produce two parisons simultaneously.
2. Molding
   The parisons are clamped into cooled molds shaped like jerry cans. Compressed air inflates the parisons to match the mold cavity, forming the final shape.
3. Cooling and Ejection
   The molds cool rapidly to solidify the plastic. Once cooled, the finished cans are ejected, and the cycle repeats.
