Over 22 Years of Industrial E-Coating Expertise.

Over 22 Years of Industrial E-Coating Expertise.

When I look back at my 22-year career, what I'm most proud of are the products that are still out in the world, protected by the systems we built. The tractors still working the fields, the cars still driving on salted roads, the electrical boxes still withstanding the elements—all of them are a testament to the power of a properly applied E-coat finish. This is the ultimate goal of the electrophoresis equipment we build at TIMS. It's not about the steel tanks or the complex controls; it's about providing a legacy of durability for our clients' products. It's about building a reputation for quality that is measured in decades, not years. This is the passion that drives us, and it's the promise embedded in every piece of electrophoresis equipment that bears the TIMS name.

The Main Steps in an E-Coating Line

A typical journey through a TIMS electrophoresis equipment system involves several automated steps. 1. Pretreatment: The part is cleaned and a conversion coating is applied in a multi-stage washer. 2. Electrodeposition: The part is submerged in the main E-coat tank where a DC electrical current applies the paint. 3. Post-Rinses: The part is rinsed in a series of tanks to remove excess, non-adhered paint. This rinse material is recovered and returned to the main tank. 4. Curing: The part passes through a high-temperature oven, which bakes and cross-links the coating to create a hard, durable final film. A sophisticated conveyor system transports the parts seamlessly through this entire process.

"E-Coating Requires a Huge Amount of Floor Space"

While it's true that a high-volume automotive E-coat line can be very large, it is a myth that all electrophoresis equipment requires a massive footprint. At TIMS, we specialize in designing compact and modular systems to fit a variety of facility layouts. We can use vertical designs, compact U-shaped layouts, or hoist-based "smart batch" systems that offer incredible processing power in a small area. By using advanced techniques like high-density tank packing and combination pretreatment tunnels, we can engineer a complete, fully-featured system of electrophoresis equipment that can fit into spaces many manufacturers thought were unusable.

The Role of Anodes in Electrophoresis Equipment

Anodes are a critical component of electrophoresis equipment. They are the positive electrodes submerged in the E-coat tank that create the electrical field with the negatively charged part (the cathode). The design and placement of these anodes are crucial for achieving a uniform coating. At TIMS, we typically use specialized anode cells, which are membrane-enclosed electrodes. These membranes allow the electrical current to pass through but prevent the generation of anode-related contaminants from entering the paint bath. This results in a cleaner process, a smoother finish, and longer paint life. The expert engineering of the anode system is a key technical detail that distinguishes a high-performance set of electrophoresis equipment.

What Causes "Film Rupture" in E-Coating?

Film rupture is a defect where the applied E-coat film becomes too thick and breaks down, creating a rough or pock-marked surface. This is caused by applying too high a voltage for too long. The electrophoresis equipment must be precisely controlled to prevent this. The point at which this occurs is called the "rupture voltage" of the paint. A high-quality system from TIMS prevents this by using an advanced DC rectifier that allows for precise voltage control and programmable "ramping." The voltage can be started low and gradually increased to build a smooth film without ever exceeding the rupture voltage, ensuring a defect-free finish.

User Reviews

What users say about TIMS COATING

The automatic spray painting production line has greatly improved our coating consistency. The robotic system ensures precision and saves a lot of labor costs.

David Chen

We have been running the enamel production line for over a year. It is stable, reliable, and the coating quality is excellent. Highly recommend for water heater tank manufacturing.

Michael Rodriguez

The electrophoresis production line for compressors delivers strong anti-corrosion coating and reduces rework rates. Very satisfied with both the equipment and technical support.

Sarah Johnson

This powder spraying line integrates pre-treatment and coating seamlessly. It improved our efficiency by nearly 30% and the finished shells look flawless.

Kenji Nakamura

Great investment! The automated production line not only increased our output but also helped us meet environmental standards with lower emissions and less paint waste.

Frequently Asked Question

Do you have any question?

While based on the same scientific principle of using an electric field to move charged particles, the scale and purpose are vastly different. Lab electrophoresis equipment is small-scale and used for analysis (like separating DNA). Industrial electrophoresis equipment from TIMS is a large-scale production system used for applying a durable, protective coating onto manufactured goods.

A complete system includes several key pieces of electrophoresis equipment: a multi-stage pretreatment washer, the main E-coat tank with anodes and circulation systems, a DC rectifier (power supply), an ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis system for paint recovery and rinsing, and a high-temperature curing oven

The primary application for industrial electrophoresis equipment is to apply a highly durable and corrosion-resistant primer onto metal parts. It is the preferred method in the automotive industry and is also used for heavy equipment, appliances, and any product that requires long-term protection from rust and environmental damage.

The electrophoresis equipment uses a process of electrodeposition. The part is submerged and electrically charged, attracting the paint particles. As the coating deposits, it insulates the surface, forcing the electrical current—and thus the paint—to seek out the remaining bare metal in corners, seams, and internal cavities, resulting in complete, uniform coverage.

The rectifier is a critical piece of the electrophoresis equipment; it is the industrial power supply. It converts AC electrical current into the precisely controlled DC current needed to charge the parts and drive the coating process. Modern rectifiers from TIMS allow for programmable voltage ramping for a smoother, higher-quality finish.

Yes, absolutely. Every system of electrophoresis equipment we build is custom-engineered. We analyze your product size, production volume, and specific performance requirements to design a perfectly tailored solution, from the tank size and conveyor type to the sophistication of the process controls.
