When it comes to manufacturing jerry cans, especially those used for storing potentially hazardous substances like fuels and chemicals, quality control and compliance with international standards are of utmost importance. The 5 - 10L Double Station Double Die Head Jerry Can Blow Molding Machine is designed to meet these stringent requirements.
Precision in Production for Quality
The precision engineering of the machine's components, such as the die heads and molds, directly contributes to high - quality production. The consistent extrusion of the parison and the uniform inflation during the blow - molding process result in jerry cans with uniform wall thickness. This uniformity is essential for ensuring the strength and integrity of the cans. For example, in fuel - storage jerry cans, a thin or weak spot in the wall could lead to leaks, which is extremely dangerous. By maintaining a precise wall thickness, the machine helps in producing cans that can withstand the pressure and stress associated with storage and transportation.
Testing and Inspection
Manufacturers using this machine typically implement a comprehensive quality control program. This includes visual inspections of each can for any surface defects, such as scratches, bubbles, or uneven surfaces. Additionally, dimensional checks are carried out to ensure that the cans meet the specified size requirements. For more in - depth testing, samples of the jerry cans are subjected to pressure tests. In a pressure test, the cans are filled with a liquid or gas and pressurized to a certain level to check for leaks. The 5 - 10L Double Station Double Die Head machine, with its precise production capabilities, helps in producing cans that can easily pass these rigorous tests.
Compliance with International Standards
There are numerous international standards that jerry cans must comply with, depending on their intended use. For example, jerry cans used for storing fuel need to meet standards such as ISO 20849 (Road vehicles - Plastic fuel tanks - Requirements and test methods). The 5 - 10L Double Station Double Die Head machine is designed to produce cans that can meet these standards. The ability to control factors like material composition (using high - quality HDPE or other approved plastics), wall thickness, and overall structural integrity ensures that the final products are compliant. Manufacturers often work closely with testing and certification agencies to ensure that their production processes, using this machine, meet all the necessary regulatory requirements.
Traceability and Documentation
In addition to producing high - quality and compliant jerry cans, modern manufacturing processes also require traceability. The 5 - 10L Double Station Double Die Head machine can be integrated with a production management system that records details such as the batch number of the plastic used, the production date and time, and the operator who ran the machine for each batch of cans. This information can be used for quality control purposes, as well as for any potential product recalls. Proper documentation of the production process also helps in demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements during audits.
