Lubrication Solutions for Metal Food Packaging
More sustainable and safe metal food packaging for people
Metal food packaging manufacturing companies face many requirements to guarantee the integrity of packaged foods and beverages and the trust of the people who consume the products.
This types of food packaging have many advantages over others:
- They are safer due to their chemical inertness and do not affect the content
- They weigh less than glass containers
- They are sustainable, easily recoverable and recycled
- They are attractive to the final public since they can be manufactured in many different shapes and colors
The most common metal containers for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical use are:
Beverage cans and preserves, capsules, cosmetic containers, aerosols, lids and plates, trays, food drums and others.
The most used materials in its manufacture are:
- Aluminum
- Tin
- Stainless steel and others
To contribute to the safety of metal packaging manufacturing processes, at FUCHS we have recently developed food grade solutions for the drawing, forming and release agent processes with which metal sheets are obtained and shaped into the container.
