How It's Made Aluminum Cans (Sam's Club Choice)

[IHaveInvalidName]

The syllable um is not pronounced ume unless followed by an e. ium is not pronounced um. ever.

examples: caesium, podium, titanium.

Aluminium. not aloominum

[contfabmach]

Can I share this on my website? I am in the metal packaging industry and this is useful information for people in the business.

Great video - Thanks!

I don't know why they don't place some sort of plastic seal over top each and every filled can. There's mice problems in warehouses and grocery stock rooms and people are putting there lips on these cans. I know I always make sure to wash the top of the can before consuming, but not everybody does!

[tomintroy]

All that work for such awful tasting crapola (Coke, Pepsi too).

[Tiikuri]

I love that music!

Typical funking Necker, takes 11 steps to do a 2 step job. Lazy neckers are ruining this great country...

[surfermx]

@Quagigitymire could you tell me those 2 steps please?. tx man

[surfermx]

@Quagigitymire do you think is posible to make cans in a much easy simple process-way?

[djwinger2003]

Wow the American dude has no personality in his voice. "Read Sentence A" *swallow* "Read Sentence B". I'm so used to the British guy, it's weird hearing this version...

[pmgodfrey]

SO MUCH ENGINEERING! So cool though.

[RAD10ACT1V3SNIPEZ]

lube? machine that moves in and out? too easy...

[ramtuff2007]

kool

[kanga1234567]

Who designs these machines??? There must be so much trial and error to perfect them ...amazing!

[surfermx]

@kanga1234567 trial and error?? haha NO

there are not much trial and error, this is what engineering is about : the design of the process and tools to make the things.

design of the machines? the machines are doing manufacturing classic proceses, so they are comun machines; (not precisely) u can get them separatily and join everything for integrate the whole line.

so... soda is acidic enough to eat away at aluminum? and we drink that shit. yea, best idea ever.

[jbooks888]

@RastafarianJellyfish Food cans are plastic lined

[icebrodie]

@RastafarianJellyfish Our stomach produces Hydrochloric acid, which is one of the most acidic chemicals in nature. Soda is not very harmful by comparison as it's comparable to tropical fruits such as Oranges. Aluminum is expected to be exposed to the soda for over a year so would have time to eat through the aluminum over time.

[gilliamjf]

Too bad the aluminum used comes from the tropical rain forests.

[636mrstan]

costco all the way!

[jgjgomez18]

One of my favorite episodes from How its made. ;-)

[EgyptianKid22]

140 degrees Fahrenheit?

[stelthmunky]

I now have a huge urge to go to that factory to steal the aluminum roll and go to a recycling centre.

[rsnerm543]

@stelthmunky ten tons dude :P

[C0DMedia]

how do they clean them? and it would be nice to take that 10 ton sheet of aluminum in for scrap metal, lol.

[SuperMeshy]

thumbs up if u think u had one of the can made there 

[superdrummstick1]

1:30 :) lube and that motion

[trinicoolie101]

wohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[kisskickpull]

that seems like a long process... wowza

[LIFEofCAM]

Ghhhh! as interesting as that was it still doesn't answer my hunting question, how do they get the soda and the psi in the cans?

[surfermx]

@LIFEofCAM there is another line, in the beverage companies (cocacola, pepsi etc etc), which fill and cap those cans

[101GameGuru]

3:30 looks so unreal

[chuckeieio]

sams club is dead!

[kappelmeister123]

@chuckeieio it's fine, the sales are robust

[pojo205]

For a second I thought the narrator dropped the 'N' bomb at 3:56-3:57.

[haze656]

@pojo205 necker dumb ass 

[mick03112]

@haze656 I think he is messing around. Do you really think he thought he heard the "n" word? Now that's being a dumbass

[patu8010]

@pojo205 How's that?

[skyfly217]

@pojo205 them damn Neckers!

[HunterGregorySr]

Huh?

It's called How it's made: Aluminum cans?

[sheupe]

There's no title
