NDDB-Design Aluminium Milk Cans: Wall Thickness, Lids and Sizes Explained

Aluminium cans are light, practical and easy on the budget, which is why so many cooperatives and farms still use them. But not every aluminium can is the same. Knowing a few terms helps you pick one that lasts.

What "NDDB design" means

NDDB-design cans follow the shape and proportions used by Indian dairy cooperatives. Because the neck, lid and body match what collection centres, washers and transport already expect, these cans slot straight into the routine without surprises.

Specs that matter

• Wall thickness: thicker walls dent less. The Cowbell 40 LTR aluminium can lists 2.00 mm.
• Alloy grade: food-grade aluminium, suitable for milk.
• Lid: a mushroom-type lid that seats firmly on the neck.
• Handles: side handles for a secure grip when loading and carrying.
• Neck: a strong neck so the can survives rough handling.

Sizes available

Cowbell aluminium milk cans are made in 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50 litre sizes. The 10, 15 and 5 litre cans are delivery-type cans for doorstep supply, while the 20 to 50 litre cans suit collection routes. The minimum order on the 40 LTR can is two pieces, so even small buyers can start with a trial order.

Care tips

• Wash with detergents made for aluminium, not strong alkaline or acid cleaners.
• Dry cans upside down and store them with lids off so air can circulate.
• Retire cans with deep dents or damaged interiors.

Aluminium or stainless?

If you want the lightest can at the lowest price, Cowbell aluminium is the right choice. If you want the longest life and the easiest cleaning, step up to Cowbell stainless steel. See the 40 LTR aluminium milk can, the 20 LTR or the 50 LTR.
