This video explains how aluminum coil is delivered, stored, and prepared for production in a can manufacturing plant. Aluminum coil is the raw material used to produce beverage cans, making efficient handling essential for continuous operation.

Coil Arrives by Train or Truck
Large rolls of aluminum coil are transported to the can plant by train or truck, depending on the plant’s location and supply chain logistics.

Unloading with Heavy-Duty Forklifts
Heavy-duty forklifts are used to unload the coils due to their significant weight and size. Proper handling ensures safe and efficient transfer into the plant.

Storage Near the Cupper
Once inside the facility, coils are stored near the Cupper, the machine responsible for converting aluminum coil into cups. This strategic placement minimizes transport time and ensures a steady supply for production.

High Daily Coil Usage
Can plants consume multiple aluminum coils per day, reflecting the high-speed nature of can manufacturing and the demand for continuous operation.
