Processing Rubbers
Compression moulded and some injection moulded parts require deflashing. This is done in various ways depending upon the shape and size of the component and the type of rubber used.
Sub-Zero Finishing
The most modern and efficient method of finishing uses cryogenics. Parts are frozen to temperatures as low as -120°C and then tumbled and/or bead-blasted while cold to remove the brittle flash. The machines are individually programmed with the optimum temperature and running times for each particular type and number of components, which are tested and proven during the development stages.
