Safety, Versatility and Sustainability made real.
For packaging of industrial and commercial applications few products require as much attention regarding safety, robustness and serviceability as high-pressure aerosol containers for refrigerants and volatile gases. Bluefire, as leading manufacturer of packaging for aerosols, presents a series of 2-piece aerosol containers from tinplate, which offer the highest safety, maximum robustness and lowest environmental impact for aerosol containers of high pressure. Hydrocarbon refrigerants, Fluorine containing refrigerants as well as mixed gas formulations of any composition are packaged safely with Bluefire tinplate aerosols.
A Size for Every Application
Bluefire understands that different industries and markets require different capacities. Bluefire has a wide range of cans in different sizes, including special sizes for individual customers. Whether you need small canisters for local use or larger quantities for commercial distribution, Bluefire can fill almost any size and quantity. That is why Bluefire is able to offer a wide variety of packaging solutions to its customers and suppliers, including manufacturers of refrigerants, and suppliers to the automotive aftermarket.
Two-Piece Construction – Superior Safety Without Welds
At Bluefire, we differentiate ourselves from other suppliers by using a two-piece tinplate can. This type of can differs from the traditional three-piece can with welded side seams. Our cans consist of a single, seamless can body, which greatly reduces the risk of potential weaknesses such as stress cracks or leaks. A seamless can body also greatly reduces the risk of explosion. Especially when using pressurized hydrocarbon refrigerants or fluorinated refrigerants, the risk of explosion needs to be minimized. For companies that emphasize product safety and user protection, our weld-free design is innovative.
Enhanced Safety with Optional Pressure Relief Device
In terms of safety engineering Bluefire is going the extra mile. At the customer’s request a pressure relief device can be fitted to the bottom of the can. This smart safety device will open and release excess internal pressure if it reaches a certain level. Such over-pressurization can be a serious problem. However for certain types of refrigerant, the pressure can rise and fall with temperature during storage and transport. In such cases the safety device on the can bottom, which Bluefire can fit on request, can provide an extra layer of safety. This allows brands to launch the highest quality products, giving customers maximum confidence. These products will meet the highest safety expectations of retailers worldwide.
Rigorous Certifications – DOT and TPED Approved
Safety claims need to be backed up by the appropriate certifications. Bluefire’s high-pressure aerosol cans are supplied in containers that have been approved in accordance with DOT regulations for transportation in North America and TPED approved for the supply of pressure equipment in Europe and in accordance with other international regulations worldwide. Each can is subject to stringent checks at various stages of the manufacturing process and subsequent quality checks prior to despatch from our factory. The checks on every can are the same, thus ensuring the highest levels of safety and reliability in every can supplied.
Automated Precision – Consistency You Can Count On
Quality consistency is not a nicety, it’s a necessity for the packaging industry. Bluefire uses fully automatic production lines which run with high precision and reproduceability. Bluefire’s production lines consist of a number of individual stations which can be monitored and controlled automatically. Each stage of production is monitored from when the raw materials are fed in through to the can being formed, the coating being applied and the can being inspected. This means that that every Bluefire can, whether it’s part of a large batch or produced individually as part of a production run, will have identical dimensional tolerances, identical strength and identical sealing characteristics. This means that our customers can be assured of receiving the same high quality can, time after time.
Premium Printing and OEM Services – Make Your Brand Stand Out
A high-performance can requires high-visibility branding. Bluefire’s OEM services include custom pattern printing of cans. Using the latest printing technology, Bluefire produces beautiful, bright, smooth and durable prints, which provide excellent color reproduction and definition. Cans can be printed with images of products, technical information, or with simple logos to create a quality looking item. At Bluefire we work closely with customers to create bespoke designs to meet individual requirements, thus allowing brands to gain a quality and professional image in the market place.
Eco-Friendly Water-Based Paint – Sustainability in Every Coating
Environmental responsibility is not an afterthought at Bluefire—it is embedded in our manufacturing DNA. Our can bodies are coated with environmentally friendly water-based paint, which contains significantly lower volatile organic compounds compared to traditional solvent-based coatings. Even more importantly, the entire production process is pollution-free, generating minimal waste and emissions. This commitment to green manufacturing reflects Bluefire’s deep sense of responsibility toward the protection of our planet. By choosing Bluefire, brands can confidently promote their products as environmentally conscious, aligning with the growing global demand for sustainable packaging solutions.
Versatility in Refrigerant Packaging
Bluefire high-pressure aerosol cans can be filled with a large variety of substances, such as hydrocarbon refrigerants (propane, isobutane, R-600a, etc.), fluorine-containing refrigerants (HFCs and HFOs, etc.) as well as mixed refrigerants. The internal coating of the can as well as the sealing system has been chosen in a way that no chemical corrosion will occur and the gas will remain pure. This means that even the most sensitive refrigerant mixtures can be safely filled into Bluefire cans. The cans’ broad chemical compatibility is a huge advantage for our clients. The use of a single can design for a large variety of products allows for easier inventory management and cost savings.
