If you mold or machine rubber, plastic or metal parts, cryogenic deflashing can dramatically increase throughput and processing speed. We strongly feel that the business relationship that will be established between both of our companies will be extremely beneficial to all, including your present and future customers. Our engineers have incorporated requests and suggestions into our designs from our past and present customers. Our designs have been well accepted and appreciated by the industries in which our machines are sold into. A) The extremely high throw wheel (impeller) rpm's that we are able to reach (20,000) has never been heard of before versus 8,000 on other machines. This is a key feature because the media particle impact is greater. Therefore, the flash is removed faster and to a finer (smoother) finish. This also means that the deflashing cycles are shorter. B) The on-board computer adds a great deal of peace of mind to management, because all of the deflashing data can be stored in the computer (under the specific part number), instead of with each individual operator. C) The use of only three (3) rotating motors, as well as not requiring augers and dryers, is greatly appreciated by the maintenance personnel. By eliminating the augers and dryers the customers will now save on the media load size and will not reintroduce warm or hot media back into the cold deflashing chamber (which creates moisture). This is a great concern, as the deflashing chamber must be kept moisture and heat free. Our technology utilizes gaseous nitrogen, which is 99.999% moisture free. This application makes our units much easier to maintain the media flow, and less costly for the inventory of spare parts. D) The deflashing media load size of 7 to 14 pounds in our machines versus the 50 to 150 pounds in the other brands, depending on the model. This is an item to consider when calculating the per piece cost to deflash the various parts. Also the down time it would take when requiring the changing out the media from one particle size to another. E) The compactness of the blasting chamber and the use of higher quality insulation in our equipment result in less liquid nitrogen consumption. This is another item to consider when calculating the per piece cost. Refer to the nitrogen consumption chart for each of our models for details. F) The sound proof insulation material (for special decibel control), and removable side panels are items that are appreciated by the operators and maintenance personnel. Any tasks from performing maintenance to cleaning can easily be done with full access to the entire machine. G) The incorporation of our Main Door (blast chamber) Seal assembly is the latest state-of-the-art design and also the use of special material is a plus for our machines, because even under the most severe humidity and temperature (-290° F.) the door sealing surface and seal do not freeze together as others do. Also, our Main Door Seal design eliminates the leakage of gaseous nitrogen and the deflashing media particles. H) The locations of the Media and Flash separator are another significant factor in our designs. As they are housed within the cold insulated lower compartment, directly under the blasting cabinet drain port, as well as away from the outside hostile environment. Where other designs have the separator outside of the machines design and exposed to the warm temperatures and humid conditions. The deflashing media flow is affected severely, as the separator screens can get frozen over. Consequently, having to shut the machine down to completely dry all affected areas, as well as the possible removal of the deflashing media. All of which is very time consuming. I) The materials used for fabrication (where the media & flash travel) are of the highest grade and of materials which are acceptable to the Medical, Biomedical manufacturing (molding) criteria. This has allowed our machines to enter the Medical, Biomedical molding and machining (deflashing and deburring) fields. Many companies within this field have purchased machines and have installed them within the strict clean room environments. It makes us extremely proud to mention of this bold statement, as these comments are also deriving from many of our customers whom have our state-of-the-art equipment, as well as machines of the other brands. We have also been told that our technology is decades ahead of other equipment, and are the most affordable machines available for molding and machining companies in the Rubber, Plastic and Aluminum/Zinc Die Cast Industries.
