The process of making canned drinks, like soda or juice, in a factory involves several steps: Preparation of Ingredients: The main ingredients (water, sweeteners, flavorings, and carbonation) are mixed in large tanks. For soda, carbon dioxide (CO2) is added to make it fizzy. Water Treatment: Water goes through a filtration process to ensure it’s clean and safe. It might be further treated, like adding minerals for taste, before being mixed with other ingredients. Mixing and Flavoring: The ingredients like syrup, fruit juice concentrates, or flavors are added to the water. This mixture is blended to achieve the desired taste. Carbonation: If it's a carbonated drink, CO2 gas is injected under high pressure into the liquid. This is what makes the drink fizzy. Canning: The liquid is then pumped into cans. Cans are typically made of aluminum and are first cleaned and sterilized. The cans are filled with the drink and sealed tightly to prevent contamination and preserve freshness. Sealing and Lid Placement: Once filled, the can is sealed with a lid to keep the drink inside fresh and carbonated. The cans are then inspected for leaks. Pasteurization (Optional): Some drinks, especially juices, might go through pasteurization, where the cans are heated to kill any bacteria or pathogens, ensuring safety and longer shelf life. Labeling and Packaging: After the cans are sealed, they go through a labeling machine that adds the brand and product information. The cans are then grouped into packs (like 6-packs or 12-packs) and prepared for distribution. Quality Control: Samples of the cans are tested throughout the process to make sure the flavor, carbonation, and packaging meet the standards. Distribution: The finished cans are sent to warehouses and then distributed to stores.
