3. APPLICATION OF ALUMINIUM CANS
Provide long-term food quality preservation benefits.
Deliver 100 percent protection against oxygen, light, moisture and other contaminants
They do not rust, are resistant to corrosion and provide one of the longest shelf lives of
any type of packaging.

4. ALUMINUM CAN MATERIALS
0.4% Iron
97.25% Aluminum1% Magnesium
1% Manganese
0.2% Silicon0.15% Copper

5. Aluminum recycling can cut
cost over new production of
aluminum.

6. CONSUMER’S CHOICE
üLightweight and strong
üPreserve the taste
üPortable and convenient
üMaintains its coldness

7. 1) Impermeable - Cans made from aluminium are impermeable to gases,
ordour and also water vapour. Makes them suitable to contain carbonated drinks
and also remain the fresh flavour of the drinks.
2) Light weight – Allows the cans to be portable, and easy to transport and
store in large quantity.
3) High strength to weight ratio – Allows the cans to be shaped as thin as
possible while still being very strong to contain the content.
Physical properties

8. 4) Good conductor of heat
- Allows the drinks to be chilled and heated very quickly
and effectively
5) High ductility
- Allows the can to be shaped as thin as possible
- To reduce the use of material thus reducing the cost.
6) High malleability
- Capable of being bent and shaped
7) Corrosion resistance
- It forms an oxide layer which has high corrosion resistance
which increases the shelf time.
8) Odourless
- Does not poses any ordour and flavours that affects the
taste of the content.

9. 1) Non-poisonous - Under a controlled amount, the occurring of aluminium
poisoning is very unlikely. Thus It does not affect human’s health in normal
usage.
2) Non-reactive to the content – It forms an oxide layer which is non
reactive. Being non reactive to the content makes it suitable to contain drinks
and maintain its freshness as long as possible. So, internal lacquering is
unnecessary in certain cases like dairy products.

10. Manufacturing
Process of
Aluminum Can

11. 1. Blanking Process of Aluminum Sheet and Drawing of Cup
- Punch press will perform two operations
(a) Punches out round pieces (workpiece – 14cm diameter)
(b) Punch the workpiece into a cup

12. 2. Ironing Process
- Iron out can to full length
- Lubricant
(a)prevent tear the aluminum while
stretching
(b)as coolant
3. Doming Process
- To form bottom dome

13. 4. Trimming
- Cleans and straightens the edges and trim to
length
5. Cleaning of Aluminum Can
- Include 6 stages
(a) Stages 1 & 2 : 60°C Hydrofluoric Acid
(b) Stages 3 – 6 : 60°C Deionized Water
6. Bottom Varnishing
- Coating the bottom rims with varnish
7. Printing + Varnishing Outer Surface
- Can print up by rolling against the cylinder
- Coating a layer of varnish on the outer
surface to protect the ink for long lasting

14. 8. Baking (Curing Oven)
- Dries the varnish and harden the ink
9. Inside Spraying
- Sprays water-based varnish inside the can
- Varnish act to separate aluminum and carbonated drinks
10. Necking and Flanging
- Fit the end size of the aluminum can with 5 cm neck and creates flange
- Seaming of ends
11. Test and Inspect
- Testing for leakage or defect of each can

15. MANUFACTURER
COMPANY IN MALAYSIA
