Cryogenic Grinding

Cyrogenic Grinding

Our Process


Cryogenic grinding is an innovative process that involves grinding plastic materials at extremely low temperatures to prevent melting. By subjecting the plastic to sub-zero temperatures, typically using liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide, the material becomes brittle and can be easily ground down into a fine powder.


The main advantage of cryogenic grinding is that it allows the plastic to retain its chemical properties and integrity, as the low temperatures prevent the degradation that can occur during traditional grinding methods. This preservation of the plastic's properties is crucial when it comes to producing high-quality end products.

How it works

Tell Us Your Needs
  • Material type, feed size
  • Desired size, particle size distribution
  • Volume requirements
Provide Us With
  • An MSDS Sheet
  • A small sample (100 grams-1 pound)
We Will
  • Evaluate MSDS data
  • Conduct lab scale trial
  • Contact you regarding a trial on production equipment
First Trial
  • At least 50 pounds needed to determine grinding characteristics
  • 500-1000 pound trial will give indication of production throughput and cost/pound

Advantages


IFC also offers additional services to meet their clients' specific needs. For instance, they provide color matching services, ensuring that the ground plastic material matches the desired color requirements accurately. This attention to detail helps clients maintain consistency and aesthetic appeal in their final products.


Cryogenic grinding also contributes to the sustainability of plastic manufacturing. By utilizing the ground powder, manufacturers can effectively recycle and repurpose plastic waste, reducing the need for virgin materials and minimizing environmental impact.


Overall, cryogenic grinding is a valuable technique in the plastic industry, enabling the production of high-quality products while preserving the chemical properties of the material and promoting sustainability through efficient waste utilization.
