Otimização da quantidade de verniz no revestimento externo para a produção de latas de alumínio

Abstract

This work aims to explore the possibility of reducing the application of varnish coating in an aluminum can factory as an improvement measure, with the goal of saving expenses without compromising the quality of the final product. With the growing environmental and economic concerns, companies are constantly seeking ways to optimize their production processes and reduce costs. However, it is crucial that any optimization does not compromise product quality, customer satisfaction, and compliance with current regulations. In this study, the key theoretical aspects related to the application of varnish coating on aluminum cans will be analyzed, considering the different types of available coatings and their impacts on the protection, durability, and aesthetics of the cans. In addition, techniques and technologies available to measure and control the amount of applied varnish will be investigated to ensure adequate quality control. The study will also highlight the challenges that may arise when implementing a reduction in varnish application, such as the need for equipment adjustments, changes in production procedures, and the careful selection of material suppliers. Strategies to mitigate these challenges and ensure that the quality of the varnish coating is maintained at acceptable levels will be addressed, in order to meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements.
