Part imperfections, especially burrs, are a common cause of product recalls and failures in many industries. Burrs—excess material left after machining—can affect not only the functionality of a part but also its visual appeal. To help fabricators address this issue, we offer Cryogenic Deburring Services, a highly effective solution for removing burrs and improving the surface finish of plastic parts.

What is Cryogenic Deburring?

Cryogenic deburring is a process where parts are subjected to extremely low temperatures, typically as low as -60°F. These frigid temperatures cause burrs to become brittle and easily removable without damaging the part itself. During the process, parts are placed in a stainless steel basket and cooled while being treated with polycarbonate media (ranging from 0.015 to 0.080 inches). This method removes burrs without compromising the part’s structural integrity or precision.

Why Choose Cryogenic Deburring?

Cryogenic deburring offers several key advantages over traditional deburring techniques, making it a preferred choice for manufacturers. Here’s why this method ...
... stands out:

• Preserves Part Integrity: The cryogenic process does not alter the geometry, surface finish, or critical tolerances of the part. Burrs are removed while keeping the part’s original specifications intact.

• Cleaner and Safer: Unlike other methods, cryogenic deburring generates no dust, residues, or contaminants, ensuring a cleaner and safer working environment.

• Precision and Consistency: This process is controlled by computer systems, ensuring precise, consistent results even on complex geometries.

• No Material Loss: Cryogenic deburring focuses on burr removal without removing material from the part, preserving both its size and shape.

• Versatile: Suitable for a wide range of materials, including PTFE, acetal, nylon, PEEK, and phenolics, cryogenic deburring can be applied to parts of various sizes, including gears, washers, O-rings, bushings, and adapters.
