Structural stability of multi-layer design of silicone ice tray

By admin / Date Aug 20,2024

In the design of multi-layer silicone ice tray, the selection of silicone material should be considered. High-quality food-grade silicone has good flexibility, high and low temperature resistance and good resilience, which are the basis for ensuring the stability of the multi-layer structure. To further enhance the stability, a silicone material with higher hardness can be selected as the support layer, while the layer in contact with the ice cubes is kept soft enough so that the ice cubes can be easily demolded.
Interlayer connection technology
The key to multi-layer silicone ice trays is the stable connection between layers. Traditionally, interlayer connection may rely on the natural adhesion of silicone materials, but in high-end products, manufacturers will use more advanced connection technologies such as ultrasonic welding or special chemical adhesives. These technologies can achieve a tight and firm connection between layers without compromising the properties of silicone materials, effectively preventing interlayer separation or deformation during freezing and demolding.
Structural design optimization
The structural design of multi-layer silicone ice trays is also an important factor in enhancing its stability. Through precise computer-aided design and simulation analysis, manufacturers can optimize the thickness, shape and layout of each layer to ensure that each layer can be evenly stressed during the freezing process and reduce the internal stress caused by the expansion of ice cubes. At the same time, the use of structural design elements such as reinforcing ribs and support columns can further enhance the overall rigidity and stability of the multi-layer structure.
Edge reinforcement and anti-slip design
In order to prevent accidental slipping or breakage during transportation or use, the edges of multi-layer silicone ice trays are usually reinforced. This includes increasing the edge thickness, using anti-slip textures or designing anti-slip grooves. These designs not only improve the durability of the ice tray, but also enhance the safety and convenience of users during use.
