Drinks began to be poured into steel cans only in 1935. The new packaging was considered by manufacturers as an easy and durable alternative to a regular bottle. The bank could place more information about the beer brand. Drinks poured into metal containers were more convenient to transport. The can reliably protects beer from direct sunlight. It cools much faster than a glass bottle.
Each can has a protective coating inside so that the drink does not come in contact with the metal. Cans were made of three iron parts. They resembled ordinary canned food and were opened with a key-opener. The standard can weighed about 900 g. The new container increased beer sales by six times.
Design changes
In the 40s of the 20th century, a can with a screw cap was developed. The first aluminum tank appeared in 1958. It was made of two sheets of metal. There were no seams on the walls and bottom. In 1963, a ring appeared on an aluminum can. Engineer Ermal Freise went on a picnic with his family. Arriving at the resting place, he discovered that he had forgotten a beer opener at home. A spoiled day off prompted him to invent an easier way to open cans. The result of the work of Freyze was the valve-opener. The engineer sold a patent for the invention of one of the packaging companies. The first valves were completely detached from the can.
Modern design
In 1975, the modern design of beer containers was invented. Inventor Daniel Kudzik has developed a new butterfly valve that is still in use today. A can was developed several years ago, when opened, a wider hole is formed. Beer in a new packaging model was released by a Brazilian company. But a jar resembling a glass is not popular among buyers. In 2012, MilllerCoors started producing new beer at Punch Top Can. When you open it, two holes are formed. In the Soviet Union, the first beer in cans was launched in 1980. This event was timed to coincide with the Summer Olympics.
How many cans are in a beer box?
Currently, tin and aluminum are used to make beer containers. They cost more than glass. Therefore, the thickness and weight of the metal in the bank is constantly decreasing. The lightest beer can weighs just 14 grams. Some manufacturers place capsules in jars that create foam when pouring beer into a glass. Churchkey has a special can opener for its products. How many cans are in a beer box? The standard package can be 6,12,15,20, 24 cans. The quantity depends on the beer manufacturer.
