The Smartest Investment in Your Product's Quality and Value.

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.

Improving transfer efficiency (T.E.) is the fastest way to reduce costs and waste. The solution lies in your painting coating equipment. If you are using conventional air spray guns, upgrading to High-Volume, Low-Pressure (HVLP) or Air-Assisted Airless guns can significantly boost T.E. The next and most effective step is to implement electrostatic equipment. An electrostatic spray gun from a TIMS COATING system applies an electrical charge to the paint particles, which are then actively attracted to the grounded part. This "wraparound" effect dramatically increases the amount of paint that lands on the product, often boosting transfer efficiency from 30-40% to over 60-70% or even higher.

Calculating the ROI for a new painting coating equipment system requires looking beyond the initial purchase price. A modern system from TIMS COATING delivers returns in multiple areas. 1. Material Savings: Calculate your current paint/powder cost and multiply it by the percentage improvement in transfer efficiency (e.g., a 20-30% savings). 2. Labor Savings: Determine the number of manual painters that can be reassigned due to automation. 3. Rework Reduction: Estimate the cost of your current scrap and rework rate and apply a significant reduction (e.g., 80-90%). 4. Throughput Increase: Calculate the value of the additional parts you can produce per hour. 5. Energy Savings: Factor in lower energy use from efficient ovens. When you sum these operational savings, you will often find that a new painting coating equipment system provides a compelling ROI in just 1-3 years.

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.
