Cowell, Alan (2000-04-04). "COMPANY NEWS; REXAM TO BUY AMERICAN NATIONAL CAN GROUP". The New York Times. We tried each can opener on this list with different-sized cans containing dolmas, coconut milk, tuna, soda, and more, to determine which can openers are the very best. Each can opener was rated on design, performance, ease of use, cleaning, and overall value. We then offered additional insights on each can opener's strengths and weaknesses. Full-top pull-tabs were also used in some oil cans and are currently used in some soup, pet food, tennis ball, nuts, and other cans. This opener is top-rated by users for seniors and arthritic hands, so you can rest assured that comfort is the priority of the tool's design. Even though the can opener is mostly plastic, we found that it felt very durable and couldn't imagine it breaking with normal kitchen use. As for cleaning, it is dishwasher safe, but it is just as efficient to wash by hand.
In Canada, the standard size was previously 12 Imperial fluid ounces (341ml), later redefined and labelled as 341ml in 1980. This size was commonly used with steel drink cans in the 1970s and early 1980s. However, the US standard 355ml can size was standardized in the 1980s and 1990s upon the conversion from steel to aluminum. Some drinks, such as Nestea, are sold in 341ml cans. Kondakow, Mikolaj (1951-09-11). "Patent CA476789: Crimped cap removers". Canadian Patents Database . Retrieved 2017-10-04. Mikolaj Kondakow and James Wong of Thunder Bay, [ dubious – discuss] Ontario, Canada invented the pull tab version for bottles in or before 1951 (Canadian patent 476789). [22] In 1962, Ermal Cleon Fraze of Dayton, Ohio, United States, invented the similar integral rivet and pull-tab version (also known as ring pull in British English), which had a ring attached at the rivet for pulling, and which would come off completely to be discarded. He received US Patent No. 3,349,949 for his pull-top can design in 1963 and licensed his invention to Alcoa and Pittsburgh Brewing Company, the latter of which first introduced the design on Iron City Beer cans. The first soft drinks to be sold in all-aluminum cans were R.C. Cola and Diet-Rite Cola, both made by the Royal Crown Cola company, in 1964. Such "retained ring-pull" cans supplanted pull-off tabs in the United Kingdom in 1989 for soft drinks and 1990 for alcoholic drinks. [33] Wide mouth [ edit ]
Prior, Neil (2015-07-12). "Llanelli's Felinfoel brewery pioneered beer in cans". BBC News (South West Wales) . Retrieved 2017-04-09. Most manual can openers are designed for right-handed use. If some of your family members are left-handed, an electric opener or a one-handed manual opener that can be used with either hand may be the most versatile. Some openers are designed just for left-handed users, but they can be harder to find and more expensive than right-handed or ambidextrous models. In Malaysia, beer cans are 320ml. For soft drinks in both Malaysia and Singapore, the most commonly found cans are 300ml for non-carbonated drinks and 325ml for carbonated drinks. Larger 330ml/350ml cans are limited to imported drinks which usually cost a lot more than local ones. In Australia the standard can size for alcoholic and soft drinks is 375ml. Energy drinks are commonly served in 250ml and 500ml sizes. Another variation on the drink can is the "full aperture end", where the entire lid can be removed – turning an aluminum can into a cup. Crown Holdings first designed the "360 End" [39] for use by SABMiller at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. [40] It has been used by Anheuser-Busch InBev in China [41] and Brazil [42] and by the Sly Fox Brewing Company [43] in the United States.
As of late 2009, membership in the Brewery Collectibles Club of America was 3,570, down from a peak of 11,954 in 1978. Just 19 of the members were under the age of 30, and the members' average age had increased to 59. [50] See also [ edit ] Cans are filled before the top is crimped on by seamers. To speed up the production process filling and sealing operations need to be extremely precise. The filling head centers the can using gas pressure, purges the air, and lets the drink flow down the sides of the can. The lid is placed on the can, and then crimped in two operations. A seaming head engages the lid from above while a seaming roller to the side curls the edge of the lid around the edge of the can body. The head and roller spin the can in a complete circle to seal all the way around. Then a pressure roller with a different profile drives the two edges together under pressure to make a gas-tight seal. Filled cans usually have pressurized gas inside, which makes them stiff enough for easy handling. Without the riveted tab the scored section of the can's end would be impossible to lift from the can. The beverage can be recycled, and clean aluminum has residual market value, but recycled cans still need to be diluted by up to 50% virgin aluminum because the sides and tops of the can are of different alloys. The acronym UBC, for used beverage container, is employed by such companies as Apple, Inc for reference to the material of its portable laptop cases.

[6] Europe In North America, the standard can size is 12USfloz or 355ml. The US standard can is 4.83in or 12.3cm high, 2.13in or 5.41cm in diameter at the lid, and 2.6in or 6.60cm in diameter at the widest point of the body. Also available are 16USfloz or 473ml cans (known as tallboys or, referring to the weight, "pounders"), and 18USfloz or 532ml.
It includes a bottle opener, and the slightly bent corner on the handle sneaks under a pull tab, making it a versatile tool. During testing, we liked the easy-to-clean design, hefty handle, and sharp stainless-steel cutting edge. We also found it best for 3-inch or taller cans because low-profile tuna cans are shorter than the gadget’s handle. Askeland, Donald R.; Haddleton, Frank; Green, Phil; Robertson, Howard (2013-11-11).

In 1935, [3] the Felinfoel Brewery at Felinfoel in Wales was the first brewery outside the US to commercially can beer. Prior to this time, beer had been available only in barrels or in glass bottles. From this time, lightweight tin cans could be used. Felinfoel was a major supplier to British armed forces abroad in the Second World War. Cans saved a great deal of space and weight for wartime exports compared to glass bottles and did not have to be returned for refilling. These early cans did not have a pull tab, being equipped instead with a crown cork (beer bottle top). From the 18th century until the early 20th century Wales dominated world tinplate production, peaking in the early 1890s when 80% of the world's tinplate was produced in south Wales. [4]
Beer can collecting was a minor fad in the late 1970s and 1990s. However, the hobby waned rapidly in popularity. The Beer Can Collectors of America (BCCA), founded in 1970, was an organization supporting the hobby, but has now renamed itself Brewery Collectibles Club of America to be more modern.
