Cryogenic Systems & Parts
Engineering Consistency into Deflashing

Jeffrey Walter, CEO

The company primarily serves rubber manufacturers whose customers span industrial manufacturing, government, military, medical and household products. Its machines are designed around different part sizes and production volumes, allowing manufacturers to replace a labor-intensive manual process with a more controlled one.

For CEO Jeffrey Walter, equipment is only part of what makes the company valuable to its customers. His approach is shaped by nearly two decades in equipment manufacturing and a belief that supporting customers is as important as building the machine itself.

“Anybody can sell somebody a machine,” says Walter. “What keeps a customer running with us is what happens after—training operators, refining a recipe and picking up the phone when something needs troubleshooting.”

Cryogenic Systems & Parts manufactures basket-style machines in 0.75-, 1.5- and 3-cubic-foot capacities for small to medium parts, as well as the model LCC 6000, a six-cubic-foot belt-style machine designed for larger, heavier parts and high-volume processing. Operators can store recipes for different parts, allowing established settings for processing time, temperature and post-tumble to be reused rather than recreated for each production run. Cycle times generally range from three to 12 minutes, while an integrated dryer can circulate media and inject hot air for a three- to six-hour drying cycle, depending on moisture levels, to remove moisture after deflashing.

The value of that approach became clear for one customer producing small plastic threaded fittings on a Swiss machine. During machining, long strands of plastic curled around the parts, creating what the customer called “chip wraps.” Workers had to pull the material away by hand, consuming labor and time and making it difficult to keep up with production.

Cryogenic Systems & Parts supplied the customer with a SCC 1505, its 1.5-cubic-foot machine. A small box of parts could be processed in about five minutes, removing the chip wraps and burrs. The manufacturer could then machine, deburr and ship parts faster, replacing a labor-intensive manual task.

The equipment’s reliability is supported by a longstanding design dating to the 1980s, with the company continuing to service machines from the 1990s that remain in operation.

A Partner Beyond the Machine

For customers evaluating automation, Cryogenic Systems & Parts offers free sample testing and recipe development, allowing them to send parts, evaluate results and refine the process before committing to equipment. Contract deflashing provides another option for manufacturers not yet ready to make a capital purchase.

Once purchased, the company provides installation, commissioning and training, covering operation, recipe development, drying and maintenance. Maintenance agreements are available, while technical support remains free by phone, email, text or video.

That focus on efficiency extends to its manufacturing process. Cryogenic Systems & Parts is moving fabrication work toward laser cutting, forming and water-jet processing while keeping welding in-house. The changes are intended to improve accuracy and shorten manufacturing time, helping the company build equipment more efficiently.

The company also stocks consumables and spare-parts kits, aims to respond to emails within 24 hours and can sometimes ship urgently needed parts the same day. That focus helps customers avoid costly production downtime.

For Cryogenic Systems & Parts, repeatable deflashing is not limited to the machine itself. From sample testing and recipe development before purchase to training and technical support after installation, the company builds its offering around helping manufacturers achieve reliable results and keep production moving.
