Use of Aluminum Foil in the Manufacturing of Food ContainersFood containers manufactured from either One-Time Use or Multiple Use Aluminium Foil are used to produce products such as: Food Trays, Lunch Boxes, Baking Pans, Airline Meal Trays and Take Out Food Containers. Before Used as Raw Material for these products; Aluminium Foil must be: Rolled, Annealed, Slited, and Stamped to its final thickness, strength and Surface Finish.
The alloy 8011 alloy is the material of choice for both fully automatic and semi-automatic food-grade aluminium foil container production due to its desirable properties when deep-drawn shaped and its excellent ability to maintain shape after being processed. The 8011 alloy foil food containers can be heated in either a conventional oven, steamed, or directly over an open flame, subject to the necessary degree of control. All these attributes enhance the customer experience.
The Performance Characteristics of the 8011-H22 alloy are well suited to making food containers.
The 8011-H22 alloy foil has a very high degree of Formability; with an optimal combination of Strength and Elongation, it provides the ability to manufacture complex formed shapes without cracking.
Food containers made from 8011-H22 exhibit very high Design Support and Rigidity, helping to facilitate effective stacking, storage, and shipment of food products.
Food container produced from the 8011-H22 alloy foil have a bright, clean, smooth surface, making them attractive to customers and meeting all of the sanitary requirements of food contact materials.
The 8011-H22 alloy foil is Food Safe and is in compliance with the International Standards for contact with food.
The 8011-H22 alloy foil performs very well in both High Temperatures and Low Temperatures.
Due to the many benefits of Food Container Aluminum Foil 8011 in H22 temper, it has been extensively developed for manufacturing rectangular trays, round containers, multi-compartment lunch boxes and bakery pans.
Uses Of 8011-H22 Aluminum Foil8011-H22 aluminum foil is used primarily for:
Meal trays for airline food service
Containers for take-away foods
Baking/cooking trays and cake pans
Grilling/roasting trays
Multi-compartment food containers
Packaging containers for ready-to-eat meals
Food Container Aluminum Foil 8011 is suitable for producing these types of food containers by providing good forming characteristics and sufficient strength.
Factors To Take Into Account When Producing Food Container Aluminum FoilTo produce the highest quality food container aluminum foil, the following considerations are important when producing aluminum foil foodcontainers:
Controlling thickness of aluminum foil: Controlling the thickness of aluminum foil will provide consistent forming results and prevent weak points from forming.
Surface cleanliness of aluminum foil: The minimum amount of contaminants on the surface of the aluminum foil will improve both food safety and presentation.
Mechanical properties of aluminum foil: The selection of the correct temper (e.g. H22) will allow the user to achieve the appropriate balance between strength and formability.
Rolling and annealing processes: The rolling of aluminum foil should be consistent; also the process of annealing should be consistent to achieve a uniform grain structure in the aluminum foil.
Edge quality of aluminum foil: It is important to have clean edges to reduce the risk of tearing during stamping or forming processes.
