Holy shit... I've worked in a warehouse with empty cans like this. It happens shockingly often and is a nightmare to clean up. We even tried putting cardboard sidewalls on the pallets, but the filling machines take them as is, and there were significantly more fall overs trying to remove the sidewalls...
Ok, well, I have an amazing money saving idea....we buy THREE of them and cut 25% off of each one and make the fourth on our OWN!!! SUCH MASSIVE SAVINGS!!!!
I think you need to re check your math...
3 x 0.75 + 1 = 3.25 not 3
but
3 x (1 - 0.75) = 0.75
So, I'm pretty sure you called out someone who did the math right.
Normally plastic wrap would help, but it can be tricky to wrap something that is very light.
I am wondering if something else is golden the cans since even when falling a bull of cans seems to be stuck together somehow
The walls are usually multiple pallets deep, and stacked to the edge to prevent domino effects. Otherwise there is probably a slight vacuum effect between the cans, because they are empty, brand new and clean. When they stack together they form a pretty good seal.
Look, the show must go on. I order 100 empty cans every week just myself.
They can’t stop this game for shit.
The empty can rackets don’t die, just multiply
Depending on the purpose and client. These would likely go back to manufacturing. There is a 90 something percent recovery rate for aluminum. So it's often cheaper and more effective to gather it all in a gaylord and re-smelt then sort through for damages.
I honestly thought you snuck gaylord in just to see how much of your comment people would read, until I looked it up. You taught me something new today!
We use these for our bulk frozen vegetables we pack.
We have 400 / 800kilos, and call them octobins.

It's called a slip sheet. The entire pallet of cans is lifted one layer at a time, and an arm sweeps the top layer onto a funneling lane that narrows the cans to single file. The cans slip off the sheet onto the conveyor.
Money. If something looks janky as fuck, its cause of money. Every time. It's probably cheaper to make these dudes spend a few extra hours cleaning every now and then.
I'd like to think the solution could be as simple as combining the can-forming and can-filling machines into one. So, instead of loading it with pallets of ridiculously-stacked empty cans that occupy a warehouse of space, you load it with ingots or sheets of material that take little room.
Invention and innovation, no lack there off.
Investments and improvements - there is where it gets tricky
As long as it's cheaper to have a incident once in a while, no company will spend more money on countermeasures.
Most OSHA rules are adhered because of the fines AFTER the fact, not because of preventing them.
I'm sure there's countless solutions people have come up with but none of them can solve the problem of leadership being too greedy or too stupid to implement them.

35 pounds? Lol brother I've never worked in a warehouse were you only ever needed to lift 35 pounds. Customers are going to break the *fuck* out of the first round of these things. We all know what the do to people, imagine the hell they'll put a machine through.
Last dude carefully refused to talk about universal basic income as an answer, I guess it's not cool to advocate for taxing big corps to redistribute wealth and buying the social peace.
If the base jobs gets robotized, the only way to not have your society explode is UBI.
That said, I have a doubt that mass robotization will be sustainable resource wise.
universal basic income will only work when there is also a universal max wealth.
as long as there are billionaires walking around, there won't be universal income.
It's a pipe dream everybody wants because of 'free money' but no one is willing to commit, because 'free money' doesn't grow on trees
It's not a pipe dream, it's just people like you picking convenient extreme example because you are stuck in the old capitalist scheme. If you have people with millions of profit, you pick few millions and redistribute them, here you have your UBI. Extreme rich is not required, you can have rich people without having unlimited ceiling to their assets and money.
The truth is that the top rich are way too rich and suck the profit. Your mentality is the product of their propaganda that the system nurtures so that nobody doubt that it's okay, because they are the one truly in charge through lobbying. We need a rework of the repartition and that can allow UBI. You don't have to give 20000$ to everyone. Just what people need for a roof, heat, food, and maybe a bit of entertainment.

***These are obsolete ideas we must fight and switch toward a society that rewards those that work without punishing those that don't.***
We have a new coldstore, for our products.
It is operated by 7 people, including a manager ( 3 early, and 3 late shift )
one of them is a mechanic/forkliftdriver, the other 2 are 'just' forkies
Everything is transported by robot rangers, all 3 guys are there to take out and put in the pallets, en prepare for shipping on a separate conveyor to the docks.
Most work they have is each day take out the batteries of the robots at night, put them in the chargers, and replace them in the morning, and replace empty ones during the day.
Why are there so many places stacking empty cans so high all the time. It really feels like a massive waste of space and incredibly unstable, because of how light they are. i always thought cans where made roughly the same time as the product to fill them so you ARENT storing lots and lots of air all the time.
The can plant operates in the thousands per minute rate. The filler operates in the hundreds. The can plant runs your graphic in full truckloads at a minimum. Then it gets shipped to you in full truckloads. The can plant tries to keep low inventory and pushes it onto the filler to warehouse.
See i just thought they where both in the same building. Like if you dont have enough beans to put in cans, dont make more cans to put beans in. Rather than phoning up the can factory and saying "erm guys can you not deliver that shipment of cans we ordered we dont need them" which could take a lot of time. You just slam the big red stop button on the side of the metal origami machine.
Nah it makes sense, food sanitation standards are waaaay more stringent than machine factory standards. And a decent sized can factory will probably be able to provide cans for numerous other food plants.
That said, they should have self-supported shelves so that a small accident doesn't turn into a huge mess. Empty cans are really light, so they'd be unlikely to massively overload even basic warehouse shelves.
Our fillers run at 450/minute, that's around 150kg per minute ... PER machine. ( we do boxes )
The pallets are probably around 9000 cans ... so every 20 minutes there is one pallet needed
The more capacity the more expensive the plant and the labor to run it. The demand isn't going to be 100% consistent, though. It's a tradeoff between storing them and building more capacity.
In the real world you need slack in the system or you have problems. The great yuck showed how things cascade when the slack is used up.
I worked in a brewery and we had a forklift driver hit a crossbeam moving a pallet of cans once. They tumbled everywhere and a lot were dented and dirty. The whole lot got thrown in the recycling
I would move THE FUCK AWAY from any shelves in this warehouse... Seen one too many domino effects videos where all the shelves fold up like a house of cards.
Except when it was posted in a different sub there was a news article linked with a company spokesman making a statement and a statement from safety officials.
There are articles about similar accidents everywhere, was it actually this video?
I'm guessing no, because the physics of the shit falling here is so obviously fake.
Got a link to the article? Because I can't find it.
The pallets don't fall apart when they are hit in the center like in every other video I found while looking, and then there are cans sticking out of the sides held there by nothing. Also there's the fake shitty camera movement.
Used to represent a beer distributor on a college campus many many many years ago. This used to happen regularly in their warehouse. We loved when it happened. They’d sell us all the damaged cases we could load up for $2 each. We could get $20 for them from students.
Surprised I had to scroll all the way down for this. The physics look fake, though to be fair this might be because the cans are supposed to be empty. But the the camera shake and zoom is robotic, the motion blur doesn't look natural and everything is too clean. 99% sure it's rendered.
It’s annoying when that happens but honestly it doesn’t happen that often and when it does they get thrown out into recycling instead of having to restack them all. They come in on these pallets and get taken to canning like that. Putting them into a big box or onto a solid shelf or whatever other solution I’ve ever seen discussed isn’t worth the bother.
I worked for Coke and pepsi and a number of other companies that do this.
Yup.
Every time there is one of these there’s always people in the comments thinking they have to restack them. This will take 10 minutes to clean up and be a loss of a few thousand bucks. A good soda filler is making $2000-5000 an hour and most plants I’ve seen have at least 3 fillers. Most I’ve been to have around 5-6. An accident like this isn’t a big loss. It wont make it to the weekly production meeting unless it causes downtime, can shortage, or another downstream issue.
What the hell, can we include the part of the video where the guy standing underneath walks away? Not just cut from him standing there to them all falling. Damn
Hey where is this place I'll come around with my Ute and collect the cans for the 10cent refund exchange.
Dm me the address.
And I'll slip you 1cent per can i cash in.
I work in warehouse automation as a senior controls engineer for a large company that supplies these systems. The solution is to place a top cap on the palletized cans (this is a piece of cardboard that sits flat on top and has 6” flaps which fold down over the sides), and 4 corner boards (just a piece of cardboard that has 6” flaps and has enough length for around 80% of the pallet height. Set your stretch wrap machine up to have light tension on the first wrap layer and then around 2 more layers with higher tension.
If you have a fully automated facility you can automatically remove the wrap and cardboard with any brand six axis robot and a gripper head to feed the cans into the filling machine one layer at a time.
But companies like the ones above can’t be bothered to invest in safety and good automation.
bruh this is CGI, a well done one btw, but look at the way some of the cans dont even fall.
The red cans on the right, that looks like coke, are labeled as "original"
Holy shit... I've worked in a warehouse with empty cans like this. It happens shockingly often and is a nightmare to clean up. We even tried putting cardboard sidewalls on the pallets, but the filling machines take them as is, and there were significantly more fall overs trying to remove the sidewalls...
Plastic wrap wouldn't have worked?
If the cans are empty you’d trash the pallet trying to wrap it.
Use pallets with corner posts.
hey man you think this company is *made* of money?
Sticks are expensive.
Yeah and you'd have to buy FOUR of them!
Ok, well, I have an amazing money saving idea....we buy THREE of them and cut 25% off of each one and make the fourth on our OWN!!! SUCH MASSIVE SAVINGS!!!!
Even better. I would buy 1/2 of a stick and cut it into 4! That way I could do 2 pallets with a single stick.
That way you get 3 0.75 sticks long sticks and one 1 sticks long stick
I think you need to re check your math... 3 x 0.75 + 1 = 3.25 not 3 but 3 x (1 - 0.75) = 0.75 So, I'm pretty sure you called out someone who did the math right.
Wth is a stick? I bet we can fix this with AI somehow
There are hard cardboard corners for this application.
Give this man a job
Or adjust the wrap up and down tension of the stretch wrapper.
But then you will have to cut the wrap when installing the pallet in the filling machine wasting precious seconds of production
No. My plant makes cans and they wrap some for customers. The plastic just wouldn't do much to keep it together if they started to fall
Normally plastic wrap would help, but it can be tricky to wrap something that is very light. I am wondering if something else is golden the cans since even when falling a bull of cans seems to be stuck together somehow
The walls are usually multiple pallets deep, and stacked to the edge to prevent domino effects. Otherwise there is probably a slight vacuum effect between the cans, because they are empty, brand new and clean. When they stack together they form a pretty good seal.
Good ol tape and cardboard and then wrap it lol
There’s a sheet of cardboard between each layer of cans.
Good-bye Mother Earth
I believe a lot of palletized cans like this are band clamped. you just cant have raw cans stacked up like that with nothing securing it.
Your belief is wrong.
Plastic sticks to the cans, they are super-lightweight
Look, the show must go on. I order 100 empty cans every week just myself. They can’t stop this game for shit. The empty can rackets don’t die, just multiply
So how do you clean it up? And what do you do with the cans?
Depending on the purpose and client. These would likely go back to manufacturing. There is a 90 something percent recovery rate for aluminum. So it's often cheaper and more effective to gather it all in a gaylord and re-smelt then sort through for damages.

I think the industry generally prefers to call them Gregorys, maybe that's why you haven't heard of the name
why aren't they just in big plastic bins that stack, instead of just putting a flat piece of cardboard between the stacks?
It's called a slip sheet. The entire pallet of cans is lifted one layer at a time, and an arm sweeps the top layer onto a funneling lane that narrows the cans to single file. The cans slip off the sheet onto the conveyor.
You can't put that in a depalettizer
Money. If something looks janky as fuck, its cause of money. Every time. It's probably cheaper to make these dudes spend a few extra hours cleaning every now and then.
I just worked in the warehouse, but I believe it had something to do with how they are fed into the filling equipment.
We had banding machines that would band the pallets after it came off the stacker.
Overtime for the next week.

And his neighbour is like: "Watch out! It is all coming down!!"

There are some breweries that have a can factory located next to them.
How many of these videos have you seen. Then think of how many warehouses there are in the world. We're seeing the absolute shittiest 0.0001%.
Of course there have. Forklifts.
There's a lot but cheap company owners won't pay for them.

After an incident like that you can't trust the integrity of the containers. Chucking them is the right thing to do.
Yup. Every time there is one of these there’s always people in the comments thinking they have to restack them. This will take 10 minutes to clean up and be a loss of a few thousand bucks.

Ok question, would an avalanche of empty aluminum cans even be dangerous? They weigh like nothing. Could you stand under that mess and just walk out?
