It’s been a few decades since Robert S. Allison created and patented the Beverage Can Cooling system, but innovative beverage brands are continuing to develop their own systems for auto-chilled beverages.
A clear example is I.C.Can, a solid partnership of Tempra Technology and Crown Holdings, who are currently discussing commercialization and marketing of their self-refrigerating can to top beverage companies.
Once this technology becomes mainstream, the need for energy-sucking refrigerators for beverages could be a thing of the past.
