Pinflow ball deburring machine: Efficient surface finishing

With the unique pinflow principle, chrome steel balls are used as deburring medium in the deburring machine. The workpiece is processed via high-frequency vibration and freed from burrs, as well as dust, dirt, graphite and molding sand.

In today's world, where precision and efficiency are critical in the manufacturing industry, the Pinflow deburring machine has already proven itself to many customers. Its efficiency and versatility have enabled it to sustainably optimize manufacturing processes. The unique Pinflow principle uses chromium steel balls as the deburring medium, which process the workpiece via high-frequency vibration and remove burrs, as well as dust, dirt, graphite and molding sand. The Pinflow was developed by 2K Maschinenbau, the subsidiary of 2K Industry Solutions, a renowned group of companies specializing in innovative solutions and demand-oriented services in the manufacturing industry.

Deburring of workpieces: The Pinflow deburring machine, manufactured by 2K Maschinenbau, is particularly suitable for removing sharp edges and burrs from workpieces, on the inside as well as the outside. This is crucial in the manufacturing industry, where even the smallest inaccuracies can have catastrophic consequences. The machine ensures consistently high and repeatable quality of the end products.

Surface improvement: In addition to deburring, the Pinflow deburring machine can also be used to improve the surface of workpieces. Machining with the chrome steel balls not only smooths the surface, but also compacts it, giving it a firmer quality. In addition, push-button-like openings are created in the surface. This provides better adhesion properties for paint and plastic coatings, as well as other surface finishes.

Three solutions in one work step: During the deburring process, the workpieces are not only freed from burrs, they are also cleaned from the inside and outside by the deburring medium and the additional rinsing pass with a liquid medium, and they are cleaned and surface-refined. In the process, for example, molding sands, core sand residues, or even coal soot residues are thoroughly removed.

Simply thorough: One of the most impressive features of the Pinflow deburring machine is its precision. It works with an accuracy that cannot be achieved by manual processes. This significantly minimizes scrap and rework.

Time management efficiency: Time is money, and in the manufacturing industry, time is of the essence. The Pinflow deburring machine is incredibly fast and efficient, which significantly reduces production times. Companies can complete orders faster and better meet customer requirements. The cycle time in the machine is a maximum of 6 minutes. Simultaneous processing of several workpieces is possible. Loading can be additionally automated by installing a robot.

Material versatility: the machine is extremely versatile and can machine a wide range of materials, including steel, gray cast iron, aluminum, brass, bronze. This makes it the perfect choice for companies working with a variety of materials.

Quality improvement: by removing burrs and sharp edges, the Pinflow deburring machine developed by 2K Maschinenbau significantly increases the quality of the final products. This leads to more satisfied customers and significantly better further processing of the workpieces.

Environmentally friendly: Compared to some alternative deburring methods, the Pinflow process is more environmentally friendly as it often does not require the use of harmful chemicals. This is in line with the increasing sustainability requirements in the manufacturing industry. In addition, the deburring medium can always be reused, so there is no unnecessary wear. The finished workpieces are usually much more efficient in their function, which leads to energy savings and CO² reduction in the final product.

Today, clean components are a basic requirement in all industries in order to ensure the quality of subsequent processes as well as flawless product function. In addition, different materials and manufacturing technologies require adapted cleaning solutions. At the agricultural machinery manufacturer Fendt, the topic of industrial internal and external surface cleaning of parts is also a central challenge in the post-processing of parts and components. The company has relied on the proven Pinflow technology for many years.

Danfoss Power Solutions has also relied on the efficient operation of Pinflow for more than 15 years. Thanks to the material-friendly ball deburring process, the workpieces here are optimally prepared for painting and further processing. Thanks to full automation with the use of a robot for loading, manual work steps are no longer possible here, which has significantly increased efficiency. (OM-09/23)
