Load the parts
Set the batch around machine capacity, part geometry and required cycle time.
Cryogenic Deflashing
Embrittle the flash with cold, then remove it with controlled media impact.
Cryogenic deflashing suits small, complex rubber, moulded plastic and die-cast parts that are difficult to trim consistently by hand.
Process
Four steps create a repeatable deflashing cycle.
Excessive impact can affect the surface; insufficient impact leaves flash behind. Selection should combine trials, machine parameters and the required finish.
Cool with nitrogen
Rapidly cool the flash into a brittle state while controlling the effect on the main component.
Blast at speed
Matched media size and intensity remove flash, burrs and gates from exposed areas.
Separate and recycle
Separate parts from media, inspect the result and return usable media to the cycle.
Why cryogenic deflashing
Reduce manual dependency and improve consistency on complex parts.
- Useful for small, complex parts with flash that is difficult to reach manually.
- Improves throughput and repeatability in batch manufacturing.
- Can reduce tear-trim design, manual labour and rubber material waste in suitable applications.

Media selection
Size, shape and material must match both machine and part.
Excessive impact can affect the surface; insufficient impact leaves flash behind. Selection should combine trials, machine parameters and the required finish.
