If you’ve been researching ways to clean up molded or machined parts, you’ve probably run into two terms that sound almost interchangeable: cryogenic deflashing and cryogenic deburring. They use the same deep-freeze process, often the very same machine — but they solve two different problems. Here’s the difference in plain terms, and how to tell which one your parts actually need.

If you work anywhere near molded rubber, silicone, or plastic parts, you’ve dealt with flash — even if you’ve never called it that. It’s the thin, unwanted sliver or web of material clinging to the edge of a part right after it comes out of the mold. It’s not a flaw in your product design. It’s a near-universal byproduct of the molding process itself, and understanding why it happens is the first step to deciding how to deal with it.

These machines come in basically two models – basket machines and belt machines. This equipment can be used for small parts as well as heavy elastomer products. Along with the machines, CSP also offers in-built state-of-the-art onboard drying system that enables efficient, automated drying of the cryogenic deflashing machine and media, with a smaller footprint. CSP has truly distinguished itself in the marketplace with its top-notch support to clients by providing swift training to get up and running with the machines within an hour of installation.
