The first step to creating a refreshing can is to put aluminum rolls, each weighing about 10kg, into the machine to lubricate. This makes aluminum move smoothly through the styling stages in the next steps.

Aluminum cans began to be used to contain soft drinks after World War II.

Next, the aluminum plate is transferred to industrial aluminum presses.This machine cuts aluminum into circular discs and shapes them into cups.This stage is done at high speed, averaging 2,500 - 3,750 units per minute.

From the press, the cups are extended into a box-like shape.

The finished product can be checked to detect leakage.A specialized machine will detect holes smaller than a hair.

The can lid is made and transferred separately to the beverage factory.Similar to the production process of the box body.The can lid is also started from aluminum rolls, spread out, lubricated and put into a compressor.

A straightened line floated around the cap mouth.The glue mixture is poured into this contour, avoiding the collision between drinking water and cans.Finally, the 'pop-tap' opening strap is fixed to the top of the can, making it easier to open the can by pulling up and pushing the tab again.
