Jerry Cans
Rethink Jerry Cans – for Mobility, Handling, and Safety.
Industrial Packaging Jerry Cans
In industries such as chemicals, agriculture, food, and automotive, stackable jerry cans provide a compact, robust, and safe solution for storage, transport, and precise dispensing.
Produced using extrusion blow molding (EBM), they offer dimensional accuracy, consistent quality, and high design flexibility – including integrated handles, UN certification, custom neck finishes, label surfaces, and more.
Kautex machine platforms are trusted by leading packaging manufacturers around the globe. Our systems produce mono- or multilayer jerry cans with high recyclate share, short cycle times, and maximum uptime – ideal for large-scale production and fully automated lines.

Technology Focus
Die Heads
For Jerry Can production, we offer both continuous die heads for high-output lines and accumulator heads for specialized needs. All heads are optimized for quick color changes, high recyclate content, and uniform melt distribution.
Downstream
Combined with downstream systems like post-cooling, robotic handling, leak testing, and vision inspection, our machines enable fully automated production lines. The systems are MES-ready, designed for easy maintenance, and built for 24/7 operation.
