One of my shop teachers back in high school said he used to work in a recycling plant and the biggest boogie men of the industry was having an unopened can of soda hitting a smelter at max temp. He told us the resulting explosion would be enough to take out the entire recycling facility. Is this even possible?

I don’t know about taking out a whole facility, but I bet it could clear a room. An unopened can of soda would boil instantly when it hit the heat, causing the sealed can to fill with superheated water far above its boiling temperature. As soon as the can inevitably fails, all that water boils and expands rapidly into steam. The can fragments like a grenade while the steam escapes, burning anything it touches on the way out.
