Overview Cryogenic deburring and deflashing systems are versatile by design to meet the wide ranging demands of machined and molded parts. As parts vary in physical properties and geometry, a unique set of processing parameters is required for each part. All new parts submitted for Nitrofreeze Deburring or Deflashing undergo a process development phase known as […]

Case Study: Cryogenic Deflashing for Silicone O-Rings
Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Deflashing provides part molders and OEM manufacturers with a fast, consistent, and cost-effective way to remove flash from silicone O-rings. Cryogenic flash removal uses gaseous nitrogen to freeze the parts, and plastic media to break-off the surface imperfections. This safe, clean process removes both outer diameter (OD) and inner diameter (ID) flash so […]
4 Telltale Part Features: Identifying Potential Dry Ice Deflashing & Deburring Candidates
Overview Dry Ice Deflashing & Deburring is a CO2 blast cleaning process used in the removal of residual flash and burr material. This process employs dry ice particles accelerated by compressed air to blast away mold flash and machine burrs. Dry ice sublimates (transitions from solid to gas) upon impact with the part surface. This […]
Five Reasons for Flash on Plastic and Rubber Parts
What Is Residual Mold Flash? Flash is excess plastic or rubber material that forms on the surface of molded parts. Flash, or flashing, affects the part’s surface finish and may also interfere with sealing. Flash is usually a cosmetic defect, but molders want to avoid the appearance of thin, unwanted lines that can suggest poor […]
Case Study: Cryogenic Deflashing Peek Aerospace Components
Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Deflashing provides OEM manufacturers, job shops, and molding houses with reliable and efficient way for them to deflash Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) molded parts. Cryogenic deflashing utilizes polycarbonate blast media and part tumbling in a cryogenic atmosphere to remove residual flash material. Below is a deflashing study of a molded PEEK part: Material : […]
