PROFESSIONAL MANUFACTURER OF HIGH-END ENAMEL.COATING AND AUTOMATION EQUIPMENT
TIMS Group Company was firstly founded in 2003 in Shenzhen City. It is a professional company engaged in the research and development, design, production, installation, commissioning, sales, after-sales service, and technical consulting of automated, information-based, greening energy saving and intelligent enamel spraying, high-temperature enamel firing equipment, dust-free painting, powder coating, electrophoresis and other coating equipment, logistics and conveying equipment, robot automation and other non-standard automation equipment. It is a national high-tech enterprise, vice chairman unit of China Enamel Industry Association, benchmark enterprise of China Enamel Industry Association, intellectual property demonstration enterprise of Guangdong Province, contract abiding and trustworthy enterprise of Guangdong Province, specialized, refined, special and new small and medium-sized enterprise of Guangdong Province, innovative small and medium-sized enterprise of Guangdong Province, gazelle enterprise of Dongguan City, member unit of China Household Electrical Appliances Association, and member of the Enamel Technical Committee of the National Standardization Technical Committee for Metal and Non metal Coatings.
In my career, which spans over two decades since TIMS first started engineering these systems in 2003, I’ve seen the dramatic evolution of industrial finishing. The single biggest leap forward hasn’t just been in the chemistry of enamel itself, but in the sophisticated engineering of the enamel coating line. I’ve personally guided clients from struggling with high rejection rates and crippling energy bills to achieving world-class quality and efficiency. A modern, automated line is more than steel and heat; it’s the central nervous system of a quality-focused manufacturing operation, the very heart of product durability. It’s where raw parts are transformed into products that can proudly carry a long-term warranty.
The first thing any seasoned engineer looks at is the pre-treatment stage of an enamel coating line. You can have the best enamel and the most advanced furnace, but if your surface preparation is flawed, the entire process is compromised. This is why a robust shot blasting or chemical etching system is non-negotiable. It creates the ideal micro-profile for the enamel to grip onto, forming a bond that’s not just layered on top but fused deep into the steel’s surface. It's this foundational step within the enamel coating line that truly separates a finish that merely looks good from one that is built to last for decades under harsh conditions.
Next, we move to the application process, and this is where the precision of an automated enamel coating line truly pays dividends. I remember the days of manual spraying, where consistency was a constant battle. Today, with electrostatic powder systems and robotic applicators, we achieve a level of uniformity that was once unimaginable. The system ensures that every complex curve of a BBQ grill lid and every corner of an oven cavity receives the exact same, optimal coating thickness. This meticulous control managed by the enamel coating line is what prevents weak spots, eliminates waste, and guarantees the flawless, seamless finish that consumers have come to expect from high-end products.
Finally, the journey culminates in the firing furnace—the soul of the enamel coating line. This is where the magic happens, where glass powder is transformed into a hard, impermeable barrier at over 800°C. Modern furnace design focuses intensely on energy efficiency and precise temperature control. With advanced insulation, smart heat zoning, and energy recovery systems, today’s furnaces use a fraction of the energy of their predecessors. For any plant manager, this translates directly to a healthier bottom line. Investing in a high-performance enamel coating line isn't an expense; it's a strategic investment in quality, efficiency, and long-term profitability.

Frequently Asked Question
Do you have any question?
Absolutely. A leading manufacturer will design a custom enamel coating line tailored to your specific products, production volume, available factory footprint, and energy requirements. This includes choosing the right heating method (gas or electric), the degree of automation, and the type of conveying system to ensure seamless integration into your workflow.
Numerous industries depend on the durability provided by a professional enamel coating line. Key sectors include home appliances (water heater tanks, oven cavities, cooktops), outdoor cooking (BBQ grills), architectural panels, industrial components requiring corrosion resistance, and even specialized applications like heat exchangers and chemical storage tanks.
A modern enamel coating line is designed for efficiency. Advanced furnace insulation and heat recovery systems drastically cut energy consumption. Furthermore, automated electrostatic powder systems minimize material waste by capturing and reusing overspray, leading to significant savings on raw materials and lower overall production costs per unit.
The primary difference is the application method. A wet enamel coating line uses a liquid slurry of enamel, which is sprayed on and then must be dried before firing. A dry electrostatic enamel coating line uses a charged powder that adheres to the grounded part, offering higher transfer efficiency (often over 95%), less waste, and a more environmentally friendly process.
Automation on an enamel coating line ensures unparalleled consistency. Robotic applicators apply a perfectly uniform thickness of enamel, eliminating human error that can lead to weak spots or defects. This precision results in a superior, more durable finish, dramatically reducing rework and scrap rates and enhancing the final product's longevity and appearance.
A complete enamel coating line consists of several integrated stages: a pre-treatment section for cleaning and surface preparation (like shot blasting), an enamel application booth (for wet spray or dry powder), a drying oven (for wet applications), a high-temperature firing furnace where the enamel fuses to the metal, and an automated conveying system that transports the parts seamlessly through the entire process.
