Thermal Deburring - High efficient and unbeatable in cleanliness
How does it work?
Thermal deburring is an advanced finishing process that uses a precisely controlled mixture of oxygen and fuel gas inside a sealed chamber to efficiently and completely remove burrs from metal and plastic parts. During the process, temperatures reach up to 3,300 °C, causing burrs
- no matter how small or complex - to combust and oxidize rapidly, leaving your parts burr-free and ready for immediate use.

Materials
Our thermal deburring machines effectively process a broad range of materials, including:
- Metals: Steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, and die-cast components
- Thermoplastics: Polyamide (PA), Polyethylene (PE), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Polyurethane (PUR), Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)
- Injection molded parts (without glass fiber reinforcement)
- Certain materials such as magnesium and titanium may have restrictions due to their specific combustion characteristics.
Custumer benefit
- Complete burr removal in a single cycle
- Even hard-to-reach edges
- Fast processing for large volumes
- Cost-effective, low energy use
- No tool wear or maintenance downtime
- Suitable for high-volume production runs and single part processing
Use case
How to deburr a hydraulic manifold in 1 or 2 minutes?
More than 95% of manufacturers in industries like automotive, defense, medical, and precision engineering rely on thermal deburring machines for their speed, consistency, and process reliability - making it the industry-standard burr removal solution.

What Our Customers Say
“This machine has helped us to increase our manifold deburring throughput, part cleanliness, and relieve our colleagues from the stress and strain caused by the manual deburring process which we previously used.”
Rich McGrath
Global Manufacturing Operations Support Manager Sun Hydraulics
“We have tested tiny parts from tool steel and housing parts from aluminium, with an excellent result. A good process for hidden burrs.”

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
Thermal deburring is suitable for a wide range of parts including steel, aluminium, brass, cast iron, and many thermoplastics. It’s especially effective for complex geometries and parts with internal channels or cross-holes.
The deburring cycle typically lasts less than two minutes, making it one of the fastest burr removal methods available..
No. The process preserves the surface integrity of metal parts and can even smooth the surface of plastic components.
Yes, materials like magnesium and titanium have limitations due to their specific combustion properties and safety concerns.
Absolutely! ATL offers free trials at our facility in Naples, Florida. Simply send us your parts, and we’ll deburr them at no cost to you.
Parts should be clean and dry before shipping. We recommend packing them securely to prevent damage during transit. Contact us for detailed shipping instructions.
