Nylon Deburring

The Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. utilizes its Nitrofreeze Deburring Process to remove burrs from machined parts for customers throughout the United States. From our new headquarters in Worcester, Massachusetts we provide our nylon deburring service with a fast turnaround of only 2 business days after receipt. We are capable of fulfilling this quick turnaround thanks to added capacity with the acquisition of our new 5,000 square foot facility. Our new facility boasts a lean production floor providing plenty of room for our two cryogenic deflashing systems.

As many machinists know, nylon is one of those fickle materials that simply loves to leave burrs behind after machining. Rather than have one of your colleagues or employees deburr each part by hand, we offer a batch deburring process capable of removing all these burrs in just minutes.

The Nitrofreeze Deburring Process removes burrs through cold temperatures, tumbling, and media blasting. We take the parts near the glass transition point of your part’s material, then tumble the parts slowly while plastic media as small as 0.015” blasts at the parts. Our process offers repeatable results from lot to lot while offering you a low price-per-part.

To learn more about our deburring process, visit our new cryogenic deburring website. We offer pre-production engineering evaluations (PPEE) to show you what our process can do for your nylon parts. This evaluation includes multiple samples, production sized lot process creation, as well as before and after photographs.

If you are pleased with the results, we will issue you a quotation for our contract service. In addition, if you want to bring our proprietary process in-house as many manufacturers do, we can provide you with a cryogenic deburring system. We will provide you with your parts’ process variables, training, and the technical know-how to conduct Nitrofreeze Cryogenic Deburring on your nylon parts. To learn more, please contact Ryan M. Taylor at (800) 739-7949 or at rtaylor@nitrofreeze.com.

Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Treatment Service Adds Further Processing Capability

Worcester, MA – November 10, 2010 – The Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of an additional cryogenic thermal cycling system. This will allow for expanded capacity and enhance the company’s Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Treatment Service and Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Thermal Cycling Service. These processes have been used by a wide array of customers in industries ranging from defense, aerospace, electronics, and tool making among others. These services promote residual stress relief, material stabilization, enhanced wear characteristics, and crystalline micro-structure transformation in metals.

“The introduction of our new cryogenic thermal cycling system will allow us to better meet our customers’ most advanced cryogenic thermal cycling profiles,” stated Robin Rhodes, the President of the Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. The new system is capable of following extreme process ramps and profiles that will meet any customers’ requirements. In addition, the system will complete the company’s proprietary cryogenic treatment processes.

A major benefit of this thermal cycling unit is that parts do not need to be coated in a rust-preventative before undergoing the cryogenic treatment process. “The new system allows parts to be cryogenically treated and then post-tempered all within the same unit, eliminating the need for parts to be oiled,” according to Director of Operations, Bryce Trani. As a result, parts do not need to be cleaned of oil between the freezing and heating cycles. “Therefore, the process now involves two less steps, which allows us to pass this savings on to our customers,” he added.

“The introduction of this cryogenic thermal cycling unit allows us to work with customers on virtually any cryogenic treatment cycle between -310°F and +500°F,” declared Ryan Taylor, Product Marketing Specialist at Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. “The bottom line is that our customers will be the primary beneficiaries of the system acquisition; who will now be better served through lower costs, enhanced profile parameters and a sophisticated hi-tech system,” he further stated.

The company provides its Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Treatment Service on a weekly basis. It boasts fast turnaround time, with processes starting on Friday and the return of customer’ parts the following Tuesday. Nitrofreeze® Thermal Cycles are completed on an individual customer basis due to their unique cycling profiles. Typical process loads range from a pound of product to several thousand pounds at a time.

Nitrofreeze® Cryogenic Services Featured In The Worcester Business Journal

Recently, Matthew Brown a writer for the Worcester Business Journal came to our facility to better understand what we do at the Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. I had submitted a press release to him about our cryogenic deburring and deflashing capacity expansion. This boost in capacity was made possible through the acquisition of an additional cryogenic deburring and deflashing system. After reviewing my press release, he asked if he could come in for a tour and interview with the president and founder of our company, Robin Rhodes. I gladly accepted the proposition. The press release regarding our cryogenic deflashing and deburring expansion can be viewed below.

Mr. Brown was very interested in our company as there seems to be many myths that permeate the idea of cryogenics. One of those myths being that cryogenics involves the freezing of humans after death. This process is actually termed cryonics. All the processes we complete in-house are on inanimate objects. Upon meeting with Robin Rhodes, he quickly learned about the revolutionary services that our company has to offer.

Robin took Mr. Brown on a tour of our facility where he had the opportunity to see what we do up close. The tour included our cryogenic deburring and deflashing systems, which are used to remove burrs and flash from machined and molded parts. In addition, he was able to view our cryogenic processing equipment; which includes a unit that can utilize liquid helium. Liquid helium has allowed the Cryogenic Institute of New England, Inc. to reach temperatures as cold as -448°F. This capability has enabled us to complete many projects for a variety of governmental and aerospace agencies.

Mr. Brown’s article titled “Cold Temps Equal Hot Jobs In Worcester” can be read here at the Worcester Business Journal site.

Once the tour was completed, Mr. Brown interviewed Robin about the business and how it was started. The video was included along with the article on the Worcester Business Journal site. It can be viewed below.
