Aluminium strip for cookie cutters has many superior properties. 1060, 3003 and 5052 aluminum are common alloys, generally in thicknesses ranging from 0.5mm to 1.0mm, and in widths and lengths that can be customized to meet actual needs. In addition, proper surface treatment can further improve the performance and life of the cookie cutters.
Common alloy types of aluminium strip for cookie cutters:
- 1060 Aluminum:
Characteristics: High purity, good ductility and corrosion resistance, suitable for cold working.
Applications: Suitable for simple shaped cookie cutters, especially where a good surface finish is required.
- 3003 Aluminum:
Characteristics: A small amount of manganese is added to improve strength and corrosion resistance while maintaining good formability and weldability.
Applications: Widely used for making cookie cutters of various shapes, especially those requiring a certain degree of strength and durability.
- 5052 Aluminum:
Characteristics: Containing magnesium and silicon, it has high strength and good corrosion resistance, and is suitable for deep-drawing and bending processes.
Application: Suitable for complex shapes of cookie cutters, especially those requiring high strength and corrosion resistance.
Specification of aluminium strip for cookie cutters:
- Thickness:
Common thickness: 0.2mm to 1.5mm, depending on the design of the mold and the usage requirements.
Recommended Thickness: For most cookie molds, 0.5mm to 1.0mm is a common choice to ensure sufficient strength and ease of processing.
- Width:
Common widths: 10mm to 200mm, depending on the mold design and production volume.
Customized width: Aluminium strips of different widths can be customized according to actual needs.
- Length:
Common length: usually supplied in rolls, the length of each roll can vary from tens to hundreds of meters.
Customized length: Aluminium strips can be supplied in different lengths according to customers' specific needs.
Surface finish of aluminium strip for cookie cutters:
- Bright surface: Aluminum strips without any surface treatment, with a smooth surface, suitable for molds that require a high degree of finish.
- Brushed surface: The surface is treated mechanically or chemically to make the surface brushed to increase friction and reduce sticking.
- Coating: A layer of food-grade coating, such as Teflon (Teflon), is applied to the surface of the aluminum strip to improve anti-adhesion performance and high temperature resistance.
Features of aluminium strip for cookie cutters are:
1. Lightweight and strong: Aluminium strip is lightweight, easy to handle, and has good strength to withstand repeated use without deformation.
2. Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for use in wet kitchen environments without rusting or affecting the hygiene of cookies.
3. Easy to process: Aluminum strips can be easily cut, bent and shaped, making it convenient to make cookie molds of various shapes and sizes to meet different design needs.
4. Good thermal conductivity: the good thermal conductivity of aluminum enables the cookies to be heated evenly, ensuring better baking results.
5. Safe and non-toxic: aluminum material is safe, not easy to react with food, in line with food safety standards.
6. Easy to clean: Aluminium strips have a smooth surface that is easy to clean, making them suitable for use in making food-related tools and utensils.
Common application of aluminium strip when applied to cutters:
- Cookie cutting molds: It can be used to make various shapes of cookie molds, such as animal shapes, stars, flowers, etc. to increase the fun of baking.
- Chocolate molds: Aluminum strips can also be used to make chocolate molds, due to its good thermal conductivity, it can make chocolate molding quickly.
- Baking tools: such as cookie embossers and decorating tools.
All in all, aluminium strip is the ideal material for making cookie cutters due to its lightweight, durable, easy to process and safe properties. Whether for home baking or professional baking, aluminum molds can provide good experience and results.
