Abstract
A production method for producing packs of cans, having a first and second producing steps and a packing step. During the first producing step cans of a first flavor are produced and palletized into a stacked first flavor can pallet, and the stacked first flavor can pallet is transferred to a storage positioned between the upstream line and a downstream line. During the second producing step cans of a second flavor are produced and palletized into a stacked second flavor can pallet, and the stacked second flavor can pallet is transferred to the storage. During the packaging step the stacked first flavor can pallet and stacked second flavor can pallet are transferred from the storage, and the stacked first flavor cans pallet and the stacked second flavor cans pallet are depalletized to a downstream line. During the packing step, the first flavor cans and the second flavor cans are grouped and packaged into multi-flavor packs along the downstream line.
