Real Production Case: HDPE Jerrycans on a FORMA Series Extrusion Blow Molding Machine

When customers ask what our extrusion blow molding machines really look like in daily production, this HDPE jerrycan project is one of the clearest answers I can show.

Watch the Real Production Video

In this video, you can see HDPE jerrycans being produced on a LEKA FORMA series extrusion blow molding machine in a real customer factory, not in a showroom.

What You See in This HDPE Jerrycan Project

The factory is producing industrial HDPE jerrycans for chemicals and cleaning products. The FORMA series extrusion blow molding machine runs in a fully automatic cycle:

• The parison is extruded with stable wall thickness control.
• The mold closes around the parison and forms the handle, corners, and bottom structure.
• The finished jerrycans are taken out automatically, trimmed, and sent to the next station.

What you see in the video is a normal shift in a busy OEM packaging factory, with operators focused on output, scrap rate, and leak test results.

Why This Customer Upgraded to a FORMA Series Machine

Before upgrading to this FORMA extrusion blow molding machine, the factory had several problems with its old equipment:

• Unstable approuver la bouteille weight, making it hard to control resin cost.
• Flash that was difficult to trim and created extra manual work.
• Too much downtime whenever they changed molds or adjusted settings.

With the new FORMA series machine, they achieved more consistent jerrycan weight, smoother handle surfaces, and a more predictable cycle time. This makes it easier for both the production and maintenance team to hit daily output targets with less stress.

How the FORMA Series Supports Jerrycan Factories

The idea behind the FORMA series machines d'extrusion-soufflage is simple: give OEM jerrycan factories a reliable workhorse that is easy to operate and flexible enough for different bottle sizes. For HDPE jerrycans, this means:

• Stable wall thickness control to protect top-load strength and stacking performance.
• Flexible mold change options for different jerrycan volumes and neck designs.
• Energy-efficient drive systems to keep the cost per container under control.
• Operator-friendly HMI with clear recipes for each jerrycan project.

For factories that run multiple SKUs on the same extrusion blow molding machine, this type of stability and repeatability is often more valuable than chasing the absolute maximum cycle speed.

Thinking About Your Own HDPE Jerrycan Project?

If you are producing HDPE jerrycans today, or if you are planning to bring jerrycan production in-house, this real production case can give you a practical reference of what a LEKA FORMA series de moulage par soufflage par extrusion can do.
