Cryogenic Deflashing Machines

Cryogenic Rubber Deflashing Machines have revolutionized the manufacturing of molded rubber components by making excess material (flash) brittle for easy removal through mechanical methods. Traditional techniques like manual trimming and tumbling were labor-intensive and inconsistent. The introduction of cryogenic technology, utilizing liquid nitrogen to cool materials to extremely low temperatures, has provided a groundbreaking solution initially embraced by the aerospace and automotive industries. Cryogenic Systems and Parts, based in Anaheim, CA, represented by Finishing Rx, LLC, is at the forefront of this innovation, producing high-quality cryogenic deflashing systems that have set new standards in precision and efficiency.

The deflashing process involves cooling rubber parts to temperatures between -100°C to -150°C, making the material brittle. Parts then undergo mechanical agitation to break off the brittle flash without damage. The broken flash is removed using sieves or sorting mechanisms, and the deflashed parts are gradually warmed back to ambient temperatures. Cryogenic Systems and Parts has expertly integrated these steps into their machines, ensuring a seamless and effective process. Their commitment to high-grade materials and robust engineering ensures their machines withstand rigorous industrial use while delivering consistent, high-quality results.

Cryogenic deflashing is essential for industries requiring high precision and clean finishes. It is used in the automotive sector for deflashing rubber seals and gaskets, in the aerospace industry for high-performance rubber parts, and in the medical field for contaminant-free components. Finishing Rx also provides Polycarbonate and Plastic Cryogenic Grade Medias, available in various sizes and coated with anti-static properties, tailored for specific applications. By leveraging these techniques and media, manufacturers can achieve precise results, streamline processes, and elevate part quality with exceptional impact resistance.
