The Future of Finishing: Intelligent, Data-Driven Equipment.

While a high-quality spray gun is important, believing it alone will solve all finish quality issues is a common myth. A perfect finish is the result of an entire system of painting coating equipment working in harmony. If the compressed air supplied to the gun is contaminated with oil or water, or if the fluid delivery from the paint kitchen is inconsistent, the best gun in the world will still produce defects. Furthermore, if the part is not properly cleaned and pretreated, the paint won't adhere properly, regardless of how well it's applied. At TIMS COATING, we solve quality problems by analyzing and perfecting the entire system, not just one component.

A "paint kitchen" is the heart of any liquid painting coating equipment system. It is a dedicated, controlled room or area where the paint is stored, mixed, temperature-controlled, and pumped to the spray guns on the production line. A high-quality fluid handling system from TIMS COATING will include pumps, pressure regulators, viscosity control units, and fluid heaters to ensure that the paint arriving at the spray gun is always at the perfect, consistent specification. This is absolutely critical for achieving a repeatable, high-quality finish. Without a proper paint kitchen, even the best spray booth and robot will produce inconsistent results.

Industrial painting coating equipment is primarily categorized by the type of coating it applies. The main categories are: 1. Liquid Finishing Systems, which include equipment for conventional spray painting (guns, booths, pumps), electrostatic liquid painting for higher efficiency, and dip-coating methods like E-coating for total immersion. 2. Powder Coating Systems, which use electrostatic guns to apply a dry powder, which is then melted and fused in a curing oven. Each of these systems is a complete line that also includes critical pretreatment and curing equipment. TIMS COATING is an expert manufacturer of all types of painting coating equipment.

Reducing Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions is a critical environmental and regulatory challenge. The most effective solution starts with your painting coating equipment and process. The first option is to switch to low-VOC or water-based paints, which may require modifications to your fluid handling system. The second, and often best, solution is to convert to a powder coating system, which uses a dry powder with zero VOCs. If you must use high-VOC paints, the final line of defense is to install an abatement system, such as a thermal oxidizer, at the exhaust of your painting coating equipment to destroy the VOCs before they are released into the atmosphere.
