Liquid/Residue Extraction from Metal Cans

The Application of Metal Cans
Since canned food can keep the original good flavor and nutrition for quite a long period, they are popular among consumers in many countries. Metal cans mainly include Tinplate cans, Aluminum cans. Canned food has a long list, while beverage, vegetable, fruit, meat are the major categories. Take Aluminum canned beverages, for example, they are widely accepted among western countries, for the aluminum cans’ good properties of lightweight and resistance to low temperature.

Recycle Metal Cans by GREENMAX Machine
Poseidon Series of GREENMAX recycling machines is designed for solving problems of packaging or container recycling. According to the similar operation principle of the EPS recycling machine, Poseidon applies great pressure to dewater and compact the waste packaging materials. Metal Cans are included in the available materials that Poseidon can deal with.


Recycling Steps of GREENMAX Poseidon Series
1. Put the metal can into the hopper of the GREENMAX machine
2. The screw can give a lot of pressure to the metal tank and extrude the liquid from it.
3. The tank equipped under the machine can collect residues and liquids.
4. The compacted metal can is extruded by the screw, and the volume is only 1 / 6 of the original.

Why Recycle Metal Cans

1. Shortage of resources. As a common packaging for drinks and food, metal cans have a huge consumption and need to continuously supply metal resources, but the resources are limited.
2. Shortage of storage space. Metal cans, such as aluminum cans, are light in weight due to their tank structure, but still need large space.
3. High cost. The uncontrolled utilization of metal cans not only consumes natural resources but also requires high costs for the extraction of primary metals.



Positive Impacts of Recycling with GREENMAX Dewatering Machine
Micro Impacts:
1. Metal cans are successfully recovered to avoid resource waste and save energy consumption.
2. The metal tank is compressed to 1 / 6 of the original, saving storage space.
3. The residue and liquid in the metal tank are collected to avoid environmental pollution.

Macro Impacts:
1. Save energy consumption.
2. Low recycling difficulty.
3. Support from social and scientific forces.
4. Beneficial to the environment.
