Larger-container projects raise different questions from small-bottle packaging. This page summarises the issues that usually matter most when jerrycans, drums or other large packs are involved.
Reviewed by the Lancing UK technical team · Updated April 2026
Jerrycan and drum projects often involve higher fill weights, chemical compatibility, splashing, foaming or hazardous-area considerations. They also create different ergonomic and handling requirements around the rest of the line.
The container weight after filling can shape how the capping, conveying and operator access should be planned.
A large-container line may include filling, capping, labelling and conveying, but the layout must also account for safe operator access, container stability and realistic cleaning or maintenance space.
If the project is an upgrade from manual filling, note where the current process causes the most delay, inconsistency or safety concern.
Useful enquiries include the product, container sizes, target output, hazard classification if relevant, and whether the line must fit a defined footprint or connect to existing equipment.
If different container sizes are planned, say how often changeovers will happen and whether future expansion matters.
Send the product, pack format and output target and Lancing UK can help narrow down the machinery families, integration points and next practical step.

Short answers for visitors comparing options or planning the next project step.
No. Many jerrycan and drum projects are non-ATEX, but larger containers still require different filling and handling considerations from small-pack lines.
Often yes, but the achievable range depends on the container geometry, product behaviour and changeover expectations.
Yes. Installation, integration, training, spares and servicing can be discussed as part of the wider project.
