8.1.6.3.DRD Cans
DRD cans are made from pre-enameled sheets of metal and sequence of manufacture is as given below.
The process does not require any enamel repair after the can is formed. This is an advantage since it is cheaper to apply enamel/lacquer to the sheets than the formed cans. The walsl thickness in this can is substantially equal to plate thickness. DRI cans are produced form tin plates, ECCS and aluminium. In recent years use of ECCS is predominant.
Easy open ends: Easy open ends such as lids with ring pull tab are being used in such cans.
