1L – 25 L HDPE Lubricant Container Production in Nigeria; The Feasibility Report.

Plastic have played a vital role in the growth phase of the Nigerian economy and continue to do so. From packaging to agriculture, automobiles and electronics plastics have revolutionized all areas because of its functionality, economics, aesthetics and reliability.

Plastic have made all products affordable to the Nigerian consumer and have helped in raising the lifestyle of the common man. Consequently, a lot more products manufactured in Nigeria today either contain plastics or are contained in plastics.

Small size plastic containers are used for packing of drugs, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, food items etc. The plastic blow moulded containers are made from HDPE, HMHDPE, LDPE, PP etc. Blow moulded plastic containers are finding great demand in modern era.

This report is to examine the financial viability or otherwise of establishing a plastic container (jerry can) production plant in Lagos using High-density polyethylene (HDPE) as the raw material. Though there are lot of products can be manufactured by blow moulding technology, Initially, we intend producing 1 Litre, 4 Litre and 25 Litre filling capacity for the lubricant oil industry.

The proposed plant comprises of two sets of double station 5 L High-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic containers (jerry cans) plant that can produce 1L – 5L containers (1 L – 4L containers are mainly used in the packaging of lubricant oil while the 5 L are used in households) and one single Station 25 L High-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic containers (jerry cans) plant that can produce 25 L containers (mainly used in the lubricant oil packaging and household).

The output of the machine is a function of the capacity as well as the thickness of the product to be produced. Because of the different thickness of the product that can be produced for use in different industries, we would provide insight on the household and lubricant oil market for the product. The lubricant market requires the following sizes and minimum thickness 1L – 70g weight, 4L – 240 g and 25 L – 1.4 kg while the household market requires the following sizes and minimum thickness 5L- 150g, 10 L- 300g, 25 L – 750g and 50 L – 1,500g.

Not only are the weight containers used in the lubricant market higher, they are also more expensive than the products in the household market.

Each plant comprises of extrusion blow molding machine, auto-loader, chiller, crusher, compressor, mixer and molds. Other auxiliary machine includes leakage tester, in-mould labeler etc
