Recently, soft drinks have gained particular popularity. Increasingly, they began to be produced in aluminum containers. And there are reasons for this. Such material is not very expensive and too heavy. They can also be handed over to receive money. Therefore, the production of aluminum cans is quite profitable. In almost all cities there are already points where they accept such containers, as well as plastic bottles.
What is the essence of business?
The idea of entrepreneurship on this front is quite simple. It is necessary to issue a certificate of private enterprise in the administration at the place of registration, rent a room, which will also be a simple basement.
It is only necessary to take into account that the room should be heated, well lit and be in the passageway. Advertising can be a simple sign. You can also use leaflets stuck around the city.
After some time, people will find out about your activities and will be drawn to you, carrying aluminum containers with you. Thus, the business of aluminum cans will begin to generate revenue.
What to consider?
When organizing your entrepreneurial activity, you must remember that the collection of non-ferrous metal is sometimes accompanied by criminalization of business. It should be understood that such things just do not roll. And not only banks, but also serviceable products can be brought to collection points, among which are electrical cables, wires from transformers and power lines. If problems with law enforcement agencies are not needed, then it is only necessary to establish the reception of aluminum cans - and nothing more.
The financial part of the question
What expenses will be required to set up a can collection point? On average, about three thousand rubles will be spent on renting a room per month. At first, you can hire one employee. He will need to allocate about 9 thousand rubles a month for his salary. It is also necessary to purchase electronic scales. They will cost about 3 thousand rubles.
It's not worth talking about payback, as it will come very quickly. And even profit will be. The thing is that there are a lot of aluminum cans in cities. And many want at least a little money for them. Therefore, the question of where to hand over aluminum cans can be heard quite often.
Worth considering expansion
However, not always beginning entrepreneurs are ready to dwell on such a small but profitable business. A small can pick-up point can develop into an enterprise where you can set up production of aluminum cans. And for this a lot is not necessary.
Search for a larger room
First of all, you need to find a good room. It should be understood that it should be quite spacious, since equipment will subsequently be installed in it. In addition, the workshop should be heated, well lit.
In addition, a quality ventilation system should be established. In addition to finding a room, you will also need to register your business again. Only instead of IP it is necessary to choose LLC, as you will deal with legal entities. They will become your customers.
The principle of operation of the equipment
So, the room is found. Now you need to purchase all the necessary equipment with which the production of aluminum cans will be carried out.You need to purchase a production line that will unwind rolls from the source material and send them under a special press. So circles will be beaten out. They will become the blanks for cans.
The press can also perform another operation. Its task is to bend the sheet. Thus, the product will take the form of a cup. After that, the workpiece is sent to the next machine, on which the aluminum can body is created. All this is done under fairly high pressure.
To prevent the source material from being damaged, the equipment has a special lubricant that prevents aluminum from breaking. Products inverted after the previous machine enter the washer. After this, the banks are waiting for the drying procedure.
Processing with dyes and varnishes
Completely dry containers are treated with varnish, which increases the speed of sliding along a special conveyor. Also, this tool reduces the friction force when issuing cans in machines. Through the use of rotary equipment, all the necessary inscriptions and images are applied to the container. Such a device makes it possible to apply simultaneously up to five very diverse tones and shades.
Such a production line is characterized by high productivity. After all the necessary paint coatings are applied to the cans, they are again dried. After that, the product is varnished, but only on the inside.
The final part of the production of cans
The production of aluminum cans ends with the last stage - the formation of the neck of the container, the width of which is about five centimeters. This process is quite complicated, since it is important that there are no violations in the process. In total, in the production of cans, there are about eleven stages.
Recycling
In the event that the manufacture of aluminum containers was accompanied by violations and dents or scratches remained on the final product, the can will be sent for secondary production. All finished packaging must be of very high quality. Subsequently, with an increase in the area of its production, you can even purchase special cameras. Such equipment allows you to see damage from the inside of the aluminum packaging.
The competition for this type of entrepreneurial activity in our country is still not too high. Factories that produce cans can be counted on the fingers.
What else do you need to do?
In addition to all of the above, a press for used cans should also be installed at your factory. It is necessary for the processing of raw materials that will come from the collection points of aluminum containers. Thus, the productivity of the entire enterprise as a whole will only increase, which cannot but please the entrepreneur.
There are also negative points
Despite all the visible advantages that can production has, there is one big drawback - the need for large investments. It may take about 75 million rubles on average to buy all the equipment, hire personnel, rent a production workshop, and conduct an advertising campaign. However, as a result, a plant will be built, from the conveyor of which about 800 million products per year will go out. The size of the aluminum can in this case may be different.
Conclusion
Naturally, for a novice businessman, entrepreneurial activity with a large investment of capital will be unbearable. Therefore, it is recommended to start small - from the point of reception of aluminum cans. And only then can you decide to expand your company to a larger scale.
