Our compressor electrophoresis line exceeds 1000-hour salt spray tests.

For any component that operates outdoors or in a damp environment, passing rigorous salt spray and humidity tests is a critical quality standard. The gold standard technology to meet these demands is cathodic e-coating. The compressor electrophoresis line systems built by TIMS are specifically engineered to apply a high-performance cathodic epoxy coating. This finish creates a dense, non-porous barrier that is exceptionally resistant to the undercutting and blistering caused by salt and moisture. It's why our systems are designed to help your products meet and exceed the most demanding industry standards, such as 1,000+ hours in ASTM B117 salt spray testing.

If you are facing pressure to reduce Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions and improve workplace air quality, your solvent-based spray system is the primary target. The most effective way to solve this is by switching to a fundamentally cleaner technology. A compressor electrophoresis line from TIMS uses advanced, water-based coatings that contain virtually zero VOCs. This not only makes it easy to comply with the strictest environmental regulations but also eliminates the need for costly solvent abatement equipment and reduces fire hazards in your plant. By investing in a TIMS compressor electrophoresis line, you are adopting a technology that is both superior in performance and environmentally responsible.

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.

If you are looking to reduce labor costs and improve the consistency of your finishing process, automation is the key. TIMS specializes in engineering a fully automated compressor electrophoresis line. We can design the system with robotic loading and unloading, eliminating the need for manual handling of heavy parts. The entire multi-stage process—from pre-treatment and e-coating to rinsing and curing—is managed by a central PLC, operating as a continuous, synchronized system without the need for operator intervention at each stage. A TIMS automated compressor electrophoresis line allows you to run a highly productive, 'lights-out' operation with minimal labor and maximum quality control.
