The definition, principal, and composition of a typical Cryogenic Deflashing Machine

A cryogenic deflashing machine, also known as a cryogenic deburring system, is a type of equipment used to remove excess material or flash from molded or machined parts. Cryogenic deflashing is a process that involves the use of extremely low temperatures to freeze the parts and then removing the flash using various methods.

The cryogenic rubber deflashing machine typically consists of a large chamber or tub where the parts are placed. Liquid nitrogen  is used to rapidly cool the parts, making them brittle. Once the parts are sufficiently cooled, they are subjected to tumbling or blasting action, which causes the brittle flash to break off from the parts.

The rubber or plastic flash is then separated from the parts using air, vibration, or other means.

Cryogenic deflashing is commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and medical devices, where precision and cleanliness are critical. It is an effective and efficient method for removing flash from complex-shaped parts without damaging the component itself. Moreover, cryogenic deflashing is considered to be environmentally friendly compared to traditional methods that involve the use of harsh chemicals or mechanical trimming.

Consumables for cryogenic trimming machine – supply of liquid nitrogen

The frozen cryogenic deflashing machine, as an essential auxiliary manufacturing machinery in the production process of rubber enterprises, has been indispensable.

However, since its entry into the mainland market around the year 2000, local rubber enterprises have little knowledge of the working principles and processes of the frozen trimming machine.

Therefore, this article will provide a detailed introduction to the storage and supply methods of the cryogen, liquid nitrogen, for cryogenic deflashing machine.

In the past, liquid nitrogen was typically stored in separate liquid nitrogen tanks.

Therefore, when purchasing a cryogenic trimming machine, it was necessary to buy a matching liquid nitrogen tank to ensure the proper operation of the machine.

The installation of the liquid nitrogen tank required approval from the relevant authorities, which was a cumbersome process, and the tanks themselves were expensive.

This has led many factories that urgently need to use cryogenic deflashing machines to improve work efficiency to hesitate, as it also involves a certain upfront cost investment.

Nanjing Pegedeflashing has introduced a liquid nitrogen manifold supply station to substitute for liquid nitrogen tanks. T

his system centralizes the gas supply of individual gas points, enabling multiple low-temperature Dewar flasks to be combined for centralized gas supply. It solves the cumbersome process of handling liquid nitrogen tanks, allowing customers to operate the frozen edge trimming machine immediately after purchase.

The main body of the system simultaneously connects three bottles of liquid nitrogen Dewar flasks, and it also includes a port that can be expanded to accommodate four bottles.

The cryogenic deflashing system pressure is adjustable and equipped with a safety valve. It’s easy to assemble and can be mounted on the wall using a triangular bracket or placed on the ground using the bracket.

Product Description

Working Principle of Rubber Deflashing Machine

With the decrease of the temperature, rubber/plastic parts enter into hardened, brittle, and crystallized process, its flexibility is gradually lost. It is easily broken by external force when it is under brittle temperature. Flash of the molded products is generally much thinner than finished product itself, it become brittle earlier than product in the low temperature. Cryogenic deflashing machine applies this principle, works in the time range when flash is brittle while products still keeps its flexibility, hit the flashes by high speed projected special plastic media, clear out the brittle burr. The flashes can be easily removed, and the product not be damaged.
