TIMS COATING: The Architects of the Premium Appliance Finish

The porcelain enamel applied on a TIMS COATING oven enamel production line is fundamentally food-safe. It is a form of glass that is fused to the steel, creating an inert, non-porous, and inorganic surface. It contains no VOCs and will not leach any chemicals into food, even at high temperatures, easily meeting all global food-grade standards.

Yes. A well-designed oven enamel production line is engineered for flexibility. We design custom tooling and conveyor systems that can handle a variety of parts, from deep-drawn oven cavities to flat side panels or doors. The robotic application programs and furnace firing curves can be adjusted to ensure optimal results for each specific component.

The easy-to-clean property is a feature of the enamel's formulation and the quality of the application. A specialized oven enamel production line applies a very smooth, low-porosity cover coat. Some formulations are pyrolytic, meaning they can withstand the extreme heat of a self-cleaning cycle which carbonizes food soils. Others are catalytic, containing materials that help oxidize soils at normal cooking temperatures.

Preventing chipping is all about the quality of the bond between the enamel and the steel. A TIMS COATING oven enamel production line uses a rigorous, multi-stage pretreatment process to create a perfect surface for adhesion. The application of a dedicated ground coat is also critical. This combination creates a powerful, flexible bond that can withstand the constant expansion and contraction of the oven cavity over thousands of heating cycles.

The throughput, or jobs per hour (JPH), of an oven enamel production line is custom-engineered to the client's needs. A high-volume line for a major appliance manufacturer can be designed to produce hundreds of oven cavities per hour, while a more modest line can be designed for smaller-scale production. The entire line, from pretreatment to the furnace, is balanced to achieve the target production rate.
