Finishing process method for deburring, deflashing, trimming from plastic rubber silicone and nylon product parts
How to remove burrs,flash and finish plastic, rubber, silicone and nylon product parts?
During the injection molding process of rubber, plastic, silicone and nylon products, due to mold, process or raw material reasons, a large number of burrs and flash often occur on the edge of the product or in the inner hole. The existence of this burr phenomenon will have a negative impact on the surface quality of the product. The commonly used and simple method of deburring and trimming is to use a scraper for manual processing. Of course, this is only suitable for a small number of products. If large quantities of automated mechanical processing are required, since rubber, plastic, silicone, and nylon products are soft and tough, Conventional vibration/barrel finishing, electrolysis, plasma, and magnetic processes cannot achieve satisfactory results. Today we will share a case of how to deburr, deflash from rubber shin guard products to achieve high-efficiency trimming in large quantities. This finishing process is also suitable for trimming requirements of other plastic, polyester, silicone, nylon, aluminum alloy, zinc alloy and other product parts with soft, light and hard-to-break burrs such as mobile phone cases, watch bands, O-rings and other plastics.

5. Additional instructions
- Due to process limitations, rubber, aluminum alloy, zinc alloy and other products made by injection molding, casting and other processes often have a long layer of burrs around them after molding. This kind of burr is very thin, easy to bend, and has a certain degree of toughness, so simple mechanical and physical removal methods are not effective. Nowadays, a special deburring and trimming machine for rubber and plastic products is used to place the workpieces in batches into a special barrel and roll them. During the processing, liquid nitrogen is added to reduce the surface of the workpieces to more than 100 degrees below zero in a short time, making the edges of the workpieces The burrs and flash will become brittle and broken, but the body of the workpiece will not be affected. While the workpiece is rolling, it is supplemented by high-speed moving plastic elastic sand abrasives that impact the surface of the product, which can accelerate the removal of burrs and rough edge on the edges of the product or inside the holes to improve the surface effect.
- Another thing to note is that in order to test different processes, we divided the sample into four small pieces and finally determined the optimal deburring plan.
6. Final summary
- In this case, we demonstrate an automated finishing and trimming process that uses a freezing process to remove burrs and flash from the outer surface and internal holes of rubber shin guards.
