Super Cool Means Super Fast

The custom-designed process using liquid nitrogen separates and cleans metal parts for reuse, avoiding loss and reordering of new inserts.

Common Uses of Cryogenic Salvaging

  • Hand tools
  • Knobs
  • Dials
  • Fan blades
  • Gears for electronics
Raw plastic
Plastics processing machinery

We Keep Business On Track

FAQs

Insert salvaging recovers high-value components from defective plastic housings that would otherwise be scrapped. Salvaging reduces the risk of supply-chain uncertainty.

Many plastics and rubber used for multi-component injection-molded parts can be treated with the liquid nitrogen process for salvaging inserts.

The process requires specialized equipment to reclaim the insert manually after submersing the molded part in super-cool liquid nitrogen.
