Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressurised metal container preform, to a pressurised metal container and to a method for making such pressurised metal container and its related preform.
- Pressurised metal containers are used for containing various types of products.
- Such products may be beverages, whipped cream, shaving cream, hair dressing lacquer, aerosols, fragrances and perfumes.
- the intended use determines generally the pressure in the pressurised container.
- Such pressure may be constantly present as from closing by the filler up to the end of the use of the container by the end user.
- the use or the opening of the container may be such that the content is released constantly and/or stepwise via a valve.
- the pressure may only be temporarily present in the container, such as the result of a heating procedure to which the container is subjected. For instance, for pasteurising or sterilising the content, after such heating procedure the pressure generally returns approximately to the initial filling pressure or below.
- the internal pressure is generally around 8bars.
- the pressure is generally in the range of around 10bar to around 30bar (or even higher).
- the container preform and the container should be form stable during their life time. This implies in view of the intended use that the container preform and the container should have a particular wall thickness. A thickness that will guarantee the shape stability of the empty preform during its making process, transport, handling, filling and closing the containerwith the closure. In relation to the filled container, it is required that the container is not only substantially from stable during handling and transport, but in particular after last use by the end user and during intended use of the container content.
- the shape stability is directly related to the thickness of the container body wall.
- This container body wall is the wall upstanding from the bottom.
- the strength of in particular the container body is depended on the metal of which the container has been made. Although stiffening or strengthening structure may contribute the strength of the container.
- the pressurised container may be made from steel or aluminum.
- the choice of either metallic material may be depended on the intended use and internal pressures to be withstood, but also on the ultimate shape of the container and of container structures such an end curl, a necked portion, and stiffening structures.
- Another aspect is the price of the metal from which the container is made. That aerosol container may be made of aluminum or steel.
- a steel container is thinner than an aluminum container. This means that for such steel container less steel in volume is required for making the container than when such container would have been made of aluminum.
- steel and aluminum differ in other properties such as toughness and formability. This means that for particular containers and container bodies the metal to be used is either steel or aluminum. But by using particular alloys and tempers of steel and aluminum there is sometimes in overlap in properties making both metals interchangeable.
- the choice of metal for the container or container body is dictated by the content of the container.
- steel of aluminum containers or bodies may be used.
- Depilatory creams, hair mousse, and body sprays will be preferably packed into aluminum containers.
- the containers of the invention relate to containers comprising a container body and bottom which are unitary. They form a so called mono-block.
- Such containers are made by drawing and ironing. Thereto, a disc or blank is cut from a sheet of metal having a particular thickness or gauge. The disc is then transferred into an apparatus comprising a punch forcing the disc through a drawing die to make a cup. Then, the produced cup is usually transferred to another apparatus to redraw and iron the cup in one operation. The redraw of the cup will result in a reduction in diameter and the ironing process will result in a thinning and elongation of the wall ultimately forming the container body wall.
- the bottom of the monoblock may be subjected to a forming operation, such as providing the bottom with a concave shape.
- a drawing and ironing process is for instance described in US 3,820,368 A and in US5,394,727 .
- the drawing and ironing process (such as the DWI process) has as an effect that the bottom has substantially the same thickness or gauge as the original disc, blank or sheet of metal.
- This ironing ratio is in essential equal to the extent of which the original sheet of metal after forming the initial cup has been radially decreased in diameter and longitudinally elongated.
- the ironing ratio is an indication of the amount of metal material of the metal sheet (or metal stock) is required for making the container body by drawing and ironing. The higher the ironing ratio the less material is required for making the container body for a specific container height.
- the ironing ratio for steel and aluminum drawn and ironed containers could not be higher than about maximally 50 to 60%.
- extensive and long lasting research by the inventors has resulted in experimental evidence that steel and aluminum with a respective metal gauge may be subjected to a drawing and ironing process such that the container and container preform can be made from steel or aluminum with a gauge at a higher ironing ratio.
- the present invention relates to a pressurised metal container preform, such as for an aerosol container or beverage container, comprising a container body unitary with a bottom, which container preform has been made by drawing ironing, wherein the ironing ratio is in the range of about 64% to about 77%, and wherein the thickness of the bottom made of steel is in the range of about 0.45 mm to about 0.70mm.
- the invention is based on the insight that steel container be drawn and ironed at an ironing ratio when starting with steel having a gauge of 0.45 mm to 0.70mm. As discussed, such gauge is substantially identical to the bottom of the container or container as the bottom is generally not affected by the drawing and ironing procedure. Due to the increase of the ironing ratio the amount of steel is reduced for making a container and container having substantially the same properties as a container or container preform made at a lower ironing ratio.
- the ironing ratio may be selected at any ratio within the range of 64% to 77%, such as 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75% 76% and 77%, it is preferred that such selection is within a range of such ironing ratio values. Practically, it was experimentally determined that practical results could be obtained when the ironing ratio is in the range of about 66% to 70%. Such ratio provides container preforms and containers having optimal or even best properties.
- the optimal results are obtained when preferably the thickness of the bottom made of steel is in the range of about 0.45 mm to about 0.60mm. Better results are obtained when more preferably the thickness of the steel bottom is in the range of about 0.45mm to about 0.55mm.
- the container body is provided with a necked portion.
- the inventors have found that the preform (and container) may be provided when desired with a necked body portion. Such necking of the container body free end may be done with traditional operations using a series of necking dies. It has in this respect been established by the inventors that although drawn and ironed with the higher ironing ratio of the invention, the preform container still be necked substantially without problems such as kinking, cracking and jamming in the necking dies.
- the closure may be of any type as is required for the intended use of the container.
- a container for beverages it may be a closure provided with a pull tab, an easy opening panel, or a twisted cap.
- the closure may be a clamped on closure provided with a valve to be actuated for releasing the content.
- the closure may be connected by adhesive or solder, or by a mechanical connection such as by snapping and/or seaming, clamping and screwing.
- Dependent on the type of closure the container may be filled before application of the closure or via the closure.
- the inner surface of the container preform or container may be provided with a coating the product or use so desires.
- inner coatings are lacquers, and plastic neutralising layers.
- a further aspect of the invention relates to a method of making a container preform for a pressurised metal container, such as an aerosol container or beverage container, having a container comprising a container body unitary with a bottom, comprising the steps of:
- the ironing ratio is in the range of about 66% to about 70%.
- cup thickness is in the range of about 0.45 mm to about 0.60mm, more preferably in the range of about 0.45mm to about 0.55mm.
- the optional additional step of necking the container body is included.
- Figure 1A shows a disc 1 made of aluminum.
- the gauge of the disc is about 0.65mm.
- the disc 1 is than drawn to a cup 2 as shown in figure 1B .
- the drawing process used may suitable drawing (and ironing process) such as described in US5,394,727 , although the described reverse drawing is not necessarily used.
- Particularly suitable drawing and ironing processes are those that are essentially designed for drawing and ironing steel to monoblocks.
- the aluminum cup or monoblock 2 is then subjected ironing using one or more ironing rings for producing the container preform 3 having a diameter of about 40mm, ( figure 1C ).
- the preform 3 has a bottom 4 which has substantially same thickness as the gauge of the disc 1, that is for example about 0.65mm.
- the ironing ratio is for this example about 68%. This means that the thickness of the container body wall 5 is about 0.208mm [].
- the preform 3 is subsequently provided at the container body open end 7 with a outwardly directed curl 6 ( figure 1D to be redesigned outwardly).
- a closure 8 clamped snappingly with a groove 9 on the curl 6.
- the container 10 can be used for containing a product with a pressure of about 17bar.
- the closure may be pinched for releasing the content.
- FIG. 2 shows a container 11 according to a preferred aspect the invention.
- the container 11 comprises a container body 12 unitary with a bottom 13.
- the bottom has a thickness of about 0.60mm corresponding substantially to the gauge of the steel disc from which the container body 12 has been made by drawing and ironing with a ironing ratio of about 70%.
- the container body 12 has a container body wall thickness of about 0.18mm.
- the container body is provided with a necked portion 14.
