Aluminum Coil in Can Manufacturing
In this video, we will be talking about aluminum coil, the essential starting point for every can produced in a can plant.
Overview of Aluminum Coil Storage
The aluminum coil storage area in a can plant is substantial, as coils are large and heavy. They are stored in close proximity to one another and are typically protected to ensure the aluminum remains clean before use.
Coils are stored on heavy-duty pallets designed to withstand their weight. These pallets must be robust enough to be moved by heavy-duty forklifts, which position them for use when needed.

Strategic Placement
The storage of aluminum coil is always located near the cupper. This strategic placement is vital for maintaining efficient production in the can plant. When a cupper runs out of coil, having the aluminum readily available nearby minimizes downtime and keeps the manufacturing process running smoothly.
