Aluminum Molds For Kitchenware Drawing And Shaping

The aluminum molds sit in a hydraulic press, with a blank disc placed on the die ring. The press ram pushes the punch down, and a controlled blank-holder pressure prevents wrinkles as the metal slides into the cavity. The drawing happens at a steady speed, so the aluminum stretches evenly and reaches full depth without cracking.

We give the cavity a bright, mirror-level finish to reduce friction. A thin film of drawing lubricant is all the process needs. Because the surface is so smooth, the drawn pot or bowl comes out with minimal surface marks. This cuts down the time and labor needed for later finishing steps before the cookware gets coated or packed.

These aluminum molds can handle different kitchenware shapes by swapping the punch and blank-holder ring. They work with single-action presses over 100 tons. A quick check of the draw radius and guide bushings every week keeps them stable. The tooling setup helps kitchenware workshops introduce new pot and pan designs without needing completely new machinery.
