Aluminium drink bottles becoming trendy
From Japan to the USA and China, aluminium drink bottles are growing in popularity. Significantly fewer raw materials are required when the bottle/cans are a two-piece construction using ‘drawing and wall ironing’ (DWI) as opposed to traditional extruded bottles.
In response to this trend the Schuler Group, claimed to be the world market leader in metal forming technology, has partnered with Japanese specialist in DWI bottle cans, TMC, which has developed a machine to form bottle necks.
The TMC-neckers are available with 40 to 56 forming stations. Independently of this, the maximum diameter of the bottles is 59 or 66 mm, with a maximum bottle length of up to 245 mm. The rate of production is up to 150 bottles per minute.
