The recycling and reuse of aluminium cans can not only save bauxite but also save 92% of the energy consumed in aluminium smelting, making a huge contribution to protecting and beautifying the earth’s environment. 1/4 of the recycling amount is used as raw material for manufacturing cans, while the rest is used as raw material for castings and die-casting parts, for producing automotive parts, motor parts, etc., and a portion is used as a deoxidiser for steelmaking. Making recycled aluminium ingots from aluminium cans and then making aluminium cans from recycled aluminium ingots can be reused multiple times. No matter how many times the can is recycled, its quality will not decrease. Scrap cans are very thin and suffer significant losses during the melting process, with some reaching over 10%. To improve the smelting recovery rate of aluminium, it is necessary to minimise the surface area of waste cans and reduce burn damage. Therefore, loose waste cans after decarburization should be packed and compacted.
