Manufacturing process

  1. Procure HDPE resin and master colour pellets.
  2. Mix pellets in a rotary mixer to achieve uniform colour distribution.
  3. Heat pellets in the barrel to create a molten thermoplastic state.
  4. Extrude the molten plastic to form a parison.
  5. Close the blow mold around the parison and inject compressed air to shape the container.
  6. Cool the mold using water circulation to solidify the plastic.
  7. Trim excess material, inspect the finished jerry cans, and pack for dispatch.
