Jerry can blow mould
Two places make or break a jerry can blow mould: the four corners and the handle on top. The corners have to carry enough wall to pass the drop test, and the handle is where the parison is pinched hardest. Both start in the tool: the corner radii and the handle pinch-off are cut into the steel before the can is ever blown.

Jerry can tooling running: the parison comes down, the mould closes on it and the can comes out.

Cans off the line
Finished jerry cans straight off the mould.

Seven questions about the tool itself
The seven that decide whether you order, answered for this tooling. Where a figure is on the drawing we print it; where it depends on your part we say which numbers we will ask you for.
Hot runner or cold runner?
There is no runner system on a blow mould. The parison comes off the die head, so instead of a runner choice we design the cooling and the pinch-off for the can you sell, and that is what the quotation describes.
Cycle time and output
Set by the can weight, the wall and the cooling on your machine. Tell us the cans per hour and how many cavities the machine carries and the figure is worked with you rather than quoted blind.
How the part is ejected
A can is released when the tool opens and taken out by the machine; the handle pinch and the flash are what we design. The deflashing arrangement is drawn before the steel is cut.
Tryout report and acceptance
The mould is fitted to a machine here and cans are blown before it ships, and those cans travel with it. Can weight, the capacity to the fill line, the drop test and the handle strength are the usual acceptance points.
Spare parts
The pinch-off inserts, the neck inserts and the deflashing cutters wear first, and they are cut from the same drawings. Say which spares to pack with the mould.
Warranty
Warranty terms are written into the quotation for that tool.
Will it fit your machine?
Send the make, model, platen size and daylight of your blow moulding machine, and the die head. The mould is designed to that machine and the fit is confirmed before cutting.
What we will ask you for: the can volume, the target can weight, the material, whether it has a handle, the cans per hour, and the machine.
How many cans an hour does the line have to make?
For a jerry can this decides whether the line runs single or double station, which changes the tool and the machine it needs. Tell us the output you are planning around.
