5 Litre Jerry Can / Container

5 Litre Jerry Can / Container in HDPE (Reference: 200414) is the ideal solution for all your liquid storage and transport needs. Manufactured in High Density Polyethylene by blow extrusion, this professional container meets the strictest requirements of the chemical, petrochemical and food industries. Its FDA certification confirms its compliance for food contact, ensuring safety and reliability in all your projects.

Applications and versatile use cases

This 5 litre container is perfectly suited to the needs of industrial professionals: storage of solvents, detergents, technical oils, non-corrosive chemicals. Farmers and horticulturists appreciate it for the precise dosing of liquid fertilisers, approved pesticides or nutrient solutions. In the food sector, it allows the packaging of oils, syrups, concentrates or liquid preparations.

Private users also benefit: storing rainwater for irrigation, preparing cleaning solutions, keeping fuel for garden equipment. Its 5 litre capacity offers the perfect balance between useful volume and ease of handling, ideal for regular use without excessive bulk.

Technical design and quality materials

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) gives this container exceptional properties: high chemical resistance, UV insensitivity, total impermeability and impact resistance. The blow extrusion process guarantees a uniform wall thickness, eliminating weak points and ensuring optimal mechanical strength.

Its ergonomic central pinch handle distributes the load evenly during transport, reducing fatigue and improving pouring precision. The integrated bottom grip facilitates complete emptying, avoiding waste and enabling effective cleaning. The optimised dimensions promote compact storage while maintaining accessibility to caps and fittings.

Optimal use and maintenance

Using this container requires a few simple precautions to maximise its service life. Before first use, rinse thoroughly with clean water, then with the intended product if necessary. Check the chemical compatibility of the contents with HDPE, particularly for powerful solvents or concentrated acids.

For filling, use a suitable funnel to avoid splashing and overflow. Never exceed 95% of capacity to allow an expansion volume, especially with liquids sensitive to thermal variations. Storage should favour temperature-controlled areas, away from direct sunlight despite the material's UV resistance.

Maintenance is limited to regular rinsing and complete drying before empty storage. For food products, follow appropriate cleaning and disinfection cycles. The robustness of HDPE allows the use of alkaline detergents and standard disinfectant solutions.

Expert tips and product synergies

Maximise the efficiency of your container by pairing it with compatible caps and fittings from the Multitanks range. Screw fittings or quick-drain systems transform your container into a precision dispenser. For professional applications, consider adding a dosing tap or a manual transfer pump for optimal flow control.

In an industrial environment, regulatory labelling becomes essential: content description, safety pictograms, packaging dates. Always keep a spare container for critical products to avoid stock shortages. For valuable liquids, using a drip tray prevents any risk of accidental pollution.

Seasonal tip: in winter, avoid storing liquids in unheated premises. HDPE retains its flexibility but repeated expansion/contraction cycles can affect cap tightness. Regularly check tightening and replace seals if necessary. In summer, ventilating storage areas prevents the build-up of potentially dangerous vapours.
