Visualize Corrosion Processes – Salt Spray Chambers with Observation Windows

Shanghai – TOBO GROUP, a leader in high-throughput testing solutions for large-scale manufacturing, is proud to launch the BulkTest Max Salt Spray Tester—a high-capacity system engineered to handle mass quantities of components in a single test, addressing the bottleneck of slow, small-batch testing for high-volume industries; unlike standard testers with limited chamber space (typically 0.1-0.3m³) that require multiple cycles to test production batches, this platform features a 1.2m³ ultra-large test chamber and automated specimen loading, enabling simultaneous testing of up to 500 small components (e.g., screws, washers) or 50 mid-sized parts (e.g., automotive brackets, electrical connectors)—critical for automotive OEMs, hardware manufacturers, and electronics assemblers where daily production volumes demand fast, batch-wide corrosion validation. At the core of the BulkTest Max is its High-Density Chamber Design with Uniform Fog Distribution, which ensures consistent testing conditions across every specimen: the chamber uses a 6-nozzle fog generation array (vs. 1-2 nozzles in standard models) with computer-calibrated airflow to deliver salt mist evenly—variation in fog density is less than 3% across the entire chamber, eliminating “edge effects” where specimens near the nozzle receive more mist—and it includes adjustable, stackable specimen racks with 10 tiers (each holding up to 50 small components) and a motorized rail system that lets operators slide racks in and out without reaching into the chamber, reducing handling time and specimen damage; a global automotive component manufacturer using the BulkTest Max to test door lock components reported cutting testing time for daily batches from 8 hours (with 4 standard testers) to 2 hours (with one BulkTest Max), while maintaining 99.8% consistency in test results across all specimens. Complementing the high-capacity design is the Automated Batch Data Management System, which streamlines tracking and analysis of hundreds of specimens at once: each specimen rack is equipped with a RFID tag that links to the system’s software, automatically logging which batch, part number, and production line the specimens belong to, and during testing, the system captures real-time data (temperature, salt concentration, corrosion onset time) for each rack and generates a batch-level report that flags outliers—for example, highlighting if 2% of a 500-unit batch show early corrosion, letting quality teams isolate the affected production run quickly—while the software also integrates with ERP systems, auto-syncing test results to production records to avoid manual data entry errors; a hardware manufacturer producing 10,000 zinc-plated screws daily used this system to trace a corrosion issue to a single coating machine: the BulkTest Max’s batch report identified that all defective screws came from Rack 3, which was linked to Machine 2, allowing engineers to fix the machine within hours and prevent further defective output. Real-world applications across mass-production sectors underscore the BulkTest Max’s value: an electronics assembler tested 300 USB connectors per batch, using the system to validate their nickel plating and reduce batch rejection rates by 35%; a automotive OEM’s component supplier tested 40 engine mounts in one cycle, cutting lead time for corrosion validation by 60% and meeting tight production timelines for a new vehicle launch; and a hardware retailer’s private-label brand used it to test 450 cabinet hinges at once, ensuring consistent quality across shipments from multiple overseas factories. “BulkTest Max was built for manufacturers where ‘one test at a time’ can’t keep up with production,” said TOBO GROUP’s High-Volume Testing Director. “When you’re making thousands of parts a day, testing shouldn’t be the bottleneck. This system lets you validate entire batches in hours, not days—while keeping data accurate and traceable.” For more information about the BulkTest Max Salt Spray Tester, including chamber dimensions, automated loading specs, and batch data software features, visit Info@botomachine.com.
