In 1959, ERNIE.C.FRAZE (Emar Clinian Fraze) of DRT Company in Deaton, Ohio, USA, invented the can, which is to use the material of the can cover itself to form a rivet, and then put a pull ring on the outer cover and rivet it, and then add the corresponding notch to form a complete can cover. After 60 years of long development, the can has also become a specific packaging for some canned drinks.
With the improvement of living standards, people’s demand for canned drinks is also increasing, and the direct hidden danger is the problem of sorting and recycling of cans in the later stage. As we all know, cans are made of aluminum alloy, but the material grades of the aluminum alloy used for the bottle cap and the bottle body are different, and the typical uses of different grades of aluminum alloy are also different. According to statistics from the Aluminum Association, aluminum cans are the beverage containers with the highest recycling rate on the market. It only takes 8% of the energy consumption to make cans with recycled materials to make cans with brand new aluminum. So how to quickly detect the grade of aluminum alloy to achieve rapid detection and sorting? The JELA handheld LIBS developed by JEORO can help you solve this problem quickly and effectively.
