Cryogenic deflashing and vibratory tumbling can both remove flash from molded plastic or rubber parts. Both finishing processes are machine-based and put batches of molded parts inside a drum or barrel, where the parts come in contact with an application-specific media. Beyond these basic similarities, cryogenic deflashing and vibratory tumbling are very different mass finishing […]

Injection mold cleaning can reduce part defects and improve cycle times. If injection molds aren’t cleaned properly, however, residual materials can cause part discoloration and require rework. If the cooling channels of an injection mold become clogged, slower cooling rates may result. Over high volumes of molded plastic or rubber parts, even seconds of longer […]
