The aluminum Coil from the uncoiler is cut into discs or circles called as blank, that form the bottom and sides of the can. After the circular blank is cut, it is drawn or pulled to form a shallow cup. This shallow cup is then transferred to the next machine (body maker) through the conveyor belt.

The cups are pressed through several ironing processes which reduces the thickness and increases the length of the cup transforming it into the shape of a can, correct height is attained by trimming the irregular edges.

The cans from the body maker are washed and dried and then passed on to a highly sophisticated decorator, which applies the customer's design to the can. A clear over - varnish is added to protect the can and give a glossy finish. Cans are then dried in an oven.

The inside of each can is sprayed with a coating. This special layer is to protect the product in the can from interaction with the metal.

Cans are passed through the necker/flanger which gives them the characteristic neck shape. The diameter of the top of the can is reduced or 'necked-in'. The top of the can is flanged outwards to enable the end to be seamed on after the cans are filled. Warehousing.

Finally the cans are packed on to pallets which are then sent to our warehouse for storage.

Our warehouse where the cans are properly stacked in rows, to maintain FIFO.
