Cryogenic Deflashing for Plastic Parts

Cryogenic deflashing for plastic parts is an automated batch process that removes mold flash, excess material that affects surface quality and can cause problems with sealing and assembly. During  cryogenic deflashing, molded parts are put in a perforated drum, subjected to cryogenic temperatures, and blasted with plastic media. The cryogen, a gaseous nitrogen, embrittles the […]

Cryogenic Deflashing – How It Works

Cryogenic Deflashing offers a modern approach to remove flash from your parts created during the molding process. The cryogenic deflashing process removes flash from parts via tumbling and blasting of fine, polycarbonate media in a cold atmosphere. By subjecting the parts to cold temperatures, the flash becomes brittle and is easily removed when the media […]
