Shanghai – TOBO GROUP, a pioneer in sustainable testing technology, is excited to launch the EcoCycle Salt Spray Chamber—an innovative system built on circular design principles to minimize waste, cut resource consumption, and deliver reliable corrosion testing for industries like green construction, eco-friendly automotive, and sustainable packaging. Unlike traditional chambers that generate excess chemical waste and rely on single-use components, the EcoCycle reimagines testing as a low-impact process without compromising precision.
At the core of the EcoCycle’s sustainability is its closed-loop resource system, which recycles 98% of the saltwater used in testing. A multi-stage filtration setup—including sediment filters, activated carbon, and reverse osmosis—purifies used salt solution, removing corrosion byproducts and contaminants before reintroducing it to the fog generator. This eliminates the need to drain and refill the chamber after each test, reducing salt and water usage by 92% compared to standard models. A green construction firm testing recycled steel beams reported that the EcoCycle cut their monthly testing water consumption from 500 liters to just 40 liters, aligning with their LEED-certification goals.
The chamber also features reusable and recyclable components to reduce plastic waste. Its specimen racks are made from durable, corrosion-resistant recycled aluminum (instead of single-use plastic), and the fogger nozzles are crafted from ceramic that can be sharpened and reused up to 50 times (vs. plastic nozzles that break after 5-8 uses). Even the chamber’s insulation is made from recycled fiberglass, and all packaging for the system is plastic-free and compostable. An eco-friendly automotive parts manufacturer noted that switching to the EcoCycle eliminated 12kg of plastic waste from their testing process annually—equivalent to 300 single-use plastic bottles.
Precision remains uncompromised despite its sustainable design. The EcoCycle maintains temperature control within ±0.2°C, salt concentration accuracy of ±0.03%, and delivers uniform fog coverage via a dual-nozzle system—meeting strict standards like ASTM B117, ISO 9227, and EN ISO 1461 (for hot-dip galvanized materials). Its 2.5-cubic-meter test chamber accommodates mid-sized components, from sustainable packaging materials (like corrosion-resistant cardboard for shipping) to eco-friendly automotive trim made from plant-based composites. A sustainable packaging company used the EcoCycle to test a new salt-resistant paperboard, validating that it could protect metal parts during ocean shipping without requiring plastic liners—reducing their product’s carbon footprint by 35%.
Efficiency is enhanced by the chamber’s smart energy management, which uses a variable-speed compressor and LED heating elements to cut power consumption by 40%. A built-in energy monitor tracks real-time usage and generates monthly sustainability reports, showing metrics like "liters of water saved" and "kg of plastic avoided"—critical for industries reporting on their environmental impact. A renewable energy component manufacturer used these reports to demonstrate testing-related sustainability gains to their clients, helping secure three new contracts with eco-conscious brands.
Real-world applications highlight the EcoCycle’s dual value of sustainability and performance. A manufacturer of plant-based plastic automotive parts used the chamber to test corrosion resistance of their new bumper materials, confirming they could withstand 5 years of coastal exposure while using 60% less petroleum-based plastic. A green construction firm testing bamboo-reinforced concrete (a sustainable alternative to steel) leveraged the EcoCycle’s precise control to validate that the material’s corrosion resistance matched traditional steel—paving the way for its use in coastal buildings.
“The EcoCycle proves that sustainability and precision in testing don’t have to be opposites,” said TOBO GROUP’s Sustainability Engineering Lead. “Every industry is racing to reduce its environmental footprint, and testing shouldn’t be a bottleneck. The EcoCycle lets manufacturers get the reliable data they need while cutting waste—making corrosion testing part of the solution, not the problem.”
