Technology and innovation have made it possible for soda cans to cool themselves, although this invention is not a recent creation. 18 long years of research and testing were necessary to reach this conclusion, where some previous designs had to be discarded as they were considered harmful to the environment.
The innovative The Joseph Company has developed patented Chill-Can and MicroCool technology to produce its cooling devices. This technology has been awarded by the EPA for its initiative to capture CO2 from the environment and reuse it for cooling, thus contributing to the conservation of our planet. In addition, this innovation is 100% recyclable and does not introduce any new CO2 into the atmosphere.
At the bottom of the can, there is a Heat Exchange Unit (HEU). Once the base is rotated to cool, the technology activates the CO2 stored in the heat exchange unit and the beverage is cooled by pressing on it, releasing carbon dioxide under pressure inside the device, which creates a reaction that cools the contents of the cans to 15°C in less than three minutes. This way is safe and effective.
Chill Can is a revolutionary, safe and environmentally friendly patented technology. The design of these self-cooling cans, made by The Joseph Company International, adds a weight of 150 grams to the can and reduces the temperature of the can’s contents by 30 degrees in one and a half minutes. An achievement that has taken more than 25 years of research and development.
