Torch 2

大部分制造的塑料都被当作废物丢弃，每年造成2.2万亿欧元的环境和社会破坏，污染海洋，而铝的回收利用率很高，在美国为49.8%，而塑料(PET)和玻璃的回收率分别为29.2%和26.4%。彭博社报道，雀巢公司和联合利华已经宣布了使包装可回收或重复使用的计划，可口可乐将把其Dasani水品牌包装成铝罐。随着高速罐装生产线全天候生产高达2400罐/分钟，即使是在效率和材料缩减方面的微小改进也可以产生巨大的节省。Unimaq和Innoval将在这个项目上合作开发一种新的工艺，承诺显著提高罐体制造效率。在实施这个项目时，Unimaq将与Innoval Technology合作，Innoval Technology在铝冶金和罐头制造合金的热机械加工方面拥有特定的专业知识。

Most of the plastic manufactured has been discarded as waste, causing environmental and social damage of €2.2 trillion/yr and pollutes the oceans whereas aluminium has a high recycling rate that for beverage cans, is 49.8% in the US compared to 29.2% for plastic (PET) and 26.4% for glass. Bloomberg reports that Nestle SA and Unilever have announced plans to make packaging recyclable or reusable and Coca-Cola will package its Dasani water brand into aluminium cans.With high-speed canning lines producing up to 2,400 cans/minute 24/7 even small improvements in efficiencies and material downgauging can generate significant savings. Unimaq and Innoval will work together on this project to develop a novel process which promises significant improvements in can body manufacturing efficiencies. In conducting this project Unimaq will partner with Innoval Technology who have specific expertise in aluminium metallurgy and the thermo-mechanical processing of can making alloys.
