Jumbo Size Hamburger Branding Iron — 500W Thermostatic Electric

Jumbo hamburger-bun branding with a 500W thermostatic handle

This large-format electric branding iron pairs our 500-watt thermostatic handle with a custom head made to your approved artwork. Choose the head material that suits your application and budget.

Choose your head material

• MIC 6 Aluminum: A custom head machined from MIC 6 cast aluminum tooling plate. This is the economical aluminum-head option with the same 500W thermostatic handle. Use electric heating only; do not heat the aluminum head directly with a flame.
• Stainless Steel: A custom two-layer head with a 3/4-inch aluminum upper plate and a 1/2-inch stainless-steel food-contact plate fitted closely underneath. The stainless-steel plate contacts the bun and is slightly wider than the aluminum plate, leaving a narrow, even lip. The stainless-steel face provides greater resistance to wear and repeated cleaning than aluminum.

Artwork and size

Choose a circular head from 2.5 to 3 inches in diameter, or a rectangular design up to 1.5 × 3 inches. Send us your logo; we review the artwork and confirm a workable final layout before fabrication. Simple, open artwork generally marks a rounded bun more clearly than fine detail or heavily filled designs.

Using a larger brand

The thermostatic handle lets you adjust the heat for the branding face. A larger flat brand may not contact a domed bun evenly without compressing it. Test temperature and contact time on spare buns first, since results vary with bun surface, recipe, and moisture.

The existing metal-head images illustrate the aluminum-and-stainless layered head. The MIC 6 Aluminum option has an aluminum branding head. Branded-bun images are illustrative examples, not guaranteed results; your finished custom head will be made to your approved artwork.
