aluminum can production

Ever wonder what happens to all those shiny cans when you drunkenly stumble back home and guzzle your sugar-water or energy juice? These special containers, made from an element called aluminum (picture 1), take a fascinating trip before they end up in the recycling bin or landfill. Today we are going to learn more about what goes into aluminum cans and the advancements companies have been making that make them better for our planet, And easier on your eyes!

Top and bottom covers are fabricated separately to the can body. It has a dome-shaped with small pull-tab up top. This pull-tab is crucial because it allows you (in the olden times before pop-tops) to open your cans of delicious beverage! The bottom of the can is flat with a small raised portion in the middle. This raised part is what helps the can stand up properly, and has also a definitive advantage when filed full.

The Efficiency of Modern Aluminum Can Manufacturing Techniques

The can is then subjected to a battery of tests before being judged ready for market, stressed in simulations designed to equal years on store shelves. It validates that the can you have picked is properly sized, has a very correct weight (neither too light will buckle from pressure nor to heavy bend if bumbps occurred). After passing these crucial tests the can is now ready to be filled on your favorite beverage, and shipped to a store near you!

The name of another method is coil-to-can and it serves in speeding up the cans. This process turns the aluminum sheets into cans right off of the roll, thereby reducing a few steps. This is able to significantly reduce waste and makes the process of production more efficient. In addition to this, computers are also used by companies to help keep the machines controlled and everything will be done properly. This results in the machines being able to work better and quicker, allowing you to save time & resources.
