The process is quick, requiring minimal operator skills.

1. A vacuum screening plate is selected and fitted dependent on the size and type of product.
2. Parts are then placed into the three-compartment safety chamber- allowing for the next batch of parts to be deflashed immediately after the first.
3. The chamber should only be filled to about one-third full of its capacity for effective spinning. Once secured in the spin chamber and the cycle settings have been made, an internal mechanically propelled disc spins the rubber parts at high speed, resulting in the excess flash and sprue/connections being removed.
4. The small flash is sucked away by an integral vacuum and the deflashed parts and larger flash (including sprue), exit via a chute into a dump bin (or a waste separator unit).

The Spin Trim offers a quick and cost-effective solution to separate the sprue and/or the unwanted flash surrounding the part.

It is able to do this in a very short period of time (usually between one to two minutes). It offers considerable advantages to processors over manual methods of deflashing:

• Reduction in production time
• Reduction in labour costs
• Increases production capacity
• Enhanced part quality
• Improved operator safety
• Additional factory space
• Automated production
• Use in conjunction with a cryogenic rubber deflashing machine

Typical products that can be deflashed on a Barwell Spin Trim include:

• ‘O’ Rings
• Grommets
• Seals and gaskets
• Caps
• Other small rubber parts

It is ideal for use in the automotive, oil and gas, aerospace, medical, electronics, and general rubber sectors.

This simple to operate and compact optional extra will reduce sorting out the flash and good parts from hours down to minutes, providing huge time and labour cost savings as a result.

It is supplied with 14 perforated sheets of differing hole sizes (6-32mm) to suit the product to be deflashed.

The upper perforated sheet allows the good parts and small flash to fall through and the lower perforated sheet then allows this flash to fall to the bottom, leaving the deflashed parts in the middle of the separator.

Boxes at the end collect the parts and flash. The large flash is manually removed from the upper sheet by hand or vacuum.

During the production of a rubber product, layers or flaps of unwanted material are created due to material overflow from within the mould cavity. This excess material is commonly known as ‘flash’.

Rubber flash has two elements to it – the film of rubber projecting from the part along the mould’s parting line(flash line) and the thickness of the flash.

The excess material (or flash) almost always needs to be effectively removed before the product is deemed to be in an aesthetically acceptable or ‘fit for purpose’ condition.
