TIMS engineers the industry's most reliable compressor electrophoresis line.

Achieving consistent quality requires controlling the entire process, not just the coating application itself. A simple dip tank is not enough. A professional compressor electrophoresis line from TIMS is an integrated system that provides end-to-end quality control. We start with a robust multi-stage pre-treatment to guarantee a perfectly prepared surface. The e-coat bath itself is continuously monitored for all key parameters. The post-rinse stages are designed to remove any contaminants, and the oven is zoned for a perfect cure. All these stages are managed by a single control system, ensuring that your compressors are coated under optimal, repeatable conditions every single time.

Achieving a uniform coating thickness on a complex, three-dimensional object like a compressor is nearly impossible with manual spraying. You inevitably get runs, sags, and thin spots. The solution is the self-limiting nature of the e-coating process. On a TIMS compressor electrophoresis line, as the coating deposits onto the part, it becomes electrically insulating. This insulation effect automatically forces the current—and the coating particles—to seek out the remaining bare metal areas. The result is a perfectly even film thickness across the entire surface, every time. This is how a TIMS compressor electrophoresis line replaces guesswork with predictable, scientific precision.

While both are excellent coating technologies, they have different strengths. Powder coating provides a thick, durable, and decorative finish but can struggle to provide 100% coverage in recessed areas and internal cavities (the Faraday cage effect). For a functional part like a compressor, where total corrosion protection is the absolute top priority, e-coating is superior. The immersion process of a compressor electrophoresis line guarantees that every single surface, inside and out, receives a protective film. At TIMS, we are experts in all coating technologies and can provide an honest consultation, but for the ultimate defense against corrosion on compressors, a compressor electrophoresis line is the undisputed champion.

Many manufacturers believe they lack the necessary floor space to install a complete e-coating system. At TIMS, our expert engineers view this as a challenge to be solved with clever design. We specialize in creating compact-footprint layouts for our compressor electrophoresis line systems. By using techniques like U-shaped configurations, vertical pre-treatment tanks, or placing curing ovens on an elevated mezzanine, we can fit a complete, high-capacity line into a surprisingly small area. Don't let perceived space constraints hold you back. Consult with TIMS to see how a custom-designed compressor electrophoresis line can be a perfect fit for your facility.
