focused on continual innovation and progress of the steel can, brasilata has introduced in the market an innovative expanded aerosol can. the container, which industrial design has been patented by the company comes in two diameters, 57mm in the upper part and 65mm in the lower part and is manufactured in three different heights 250mm, 180mm and 160mm. in the two taller cans, the distinctive shape simplifies use by the consumer, especially in the larger volume containers. the 90mm upper part has been designed to make it easier to hold on to. production of the aerosol can uses stretching expansion technology made possible by use of the brand new stretch machine flex®, developed by máquinas moreno sp a brazilian concern specialized in manufacture of machinery and equipment for production of filling cans. the stretch machine flex® produces up to 150 cans per minute and enables fast exchange of different size cans. another huge advantage is the competitive price. the final price of the expanded aerosol can, 57 x 65 diameters is not larger than the conventional aerosol 65mm diameter, owed to the lower use of steel sheet in the expanded housing and smaller dome. another solution that results in savings is the use of the smaller plastic lid 57mm
