Long-Lasting Salt Spray Chambers: Corrosion-Resistant Design for Heavy-Duty Use

Shanghai – TOBO GROUP, a leader in efficient lab testing solutions, is proud to launch the CleanTech Pro Salt Spray Tester—a next-generation system built with automated self-cleaning and low-maintenance components, solving a longstanding pain point for labs and quality control (QC) teams: time-consuming manual cleaning and frequent maintenance that disrupt continuous testing schedules. Unlike traditional salt spray testers, which require 1–2 hours of manual scrubbing (of nozzles, fog generators, and chambers) after every 50–100 hours of use and need regular part replacements (e.g., clogged nozzles, corroded sensors), this platform cuts cleaning time by 80% and extends maintenance intervals by 2x—critical for high-throughput labs, third-party testing facilities, and manufacturing QC departments that rely on non-stop corrosion validation for tight production timelines.
At the core of the CleanTech Pro is its Automated Self-Cleaning Cycle System, which runs pre-programmed or on-demand cleaning routines without human intervention. The system uses a dual-action cleaning process: first, high-pressure deionized water (150 psi) flushes salt residue from the fog generator’s reservoir, nozzle channels, and chamber interior; then, a mild, corrosion-neutral cleaning solution (approved for lab use) circulates through key components to dissolve stubborn salt deposits—all controlled via the tester’s touchscreen or remote app. Users can set cleaning frequency based on usage (e.g., a “Light Use” cycle for 200 hours of testing, a “Heavy Use” cycle for 100 hours) and even schedule cleanings during off-hours (e.g., overnight) to avoid interrupting daytime tests. A third-party testing lab using the CleanTech Pro reported that manual cleaning time dropped from 90 minutes per week to just 15 minutes (for refilling cleaning solution), while unplanned downtime from clogged nozzles fell to zero—letting them take on 25% more client projects without adding staff. The system also includes a “Cleaning Verification Sensor” that checks for residue post-cycle and alerts users only if manual touch-ups are needed, eliminating guesswork.
Complementing the self-cleaning feature is the Low-Maintenance Component Architecture, which uses durable, corrosion-resistant materials to reduce part wear and replacement needs. Key components like the fog nozzle are made of ruby-tipped ceramic (instead of plastic or standard metal), which resists salt erosion and stays unclogged 3x longer than traditional nozzles. The chamber’s interior is coated with a scratch-resistant, non-stick PTFE layer that prevents salt buildup from adhering to surfaces, further cutting cleaning needs. Even high-wear parts like humidity sensors use sapphire casings to withstand corrosion, extending their lifespan from 6 months (standard) to 18 months. The system also includes an Intelligent Maintenance Alert Tool that tracks component usage (e.g., “Nozzle has 50 hours of life remaining”) and sends proactive notifications for replacements—avoiding sudden failures. A manufacturing QC team at an automotive parts plant used this tool to schedule sensor replacements during weekend shutdowns, never missing a weekday test for maintenance. Over a year, they reduced maintenance costs by 30% compared to their old tester, thanks to fewer part replacements and no emergency service calls.
Real-world applications across high-throughput lab settings highlight the system’s value: A consumer electronics QC lab testing smartphone metal frames ran the CleanTech Pro for 12-hour shifts, 6 days a week, using the overnight self-cleaning cycle to start each morning with a fully ready tester—eliminating the 7 AM rush to clean equipment. A third-party corrosion testing firm used the low-maintenance design to manage 10 CleanTech Pro units with just one technician, compared to needing two technicians for 8 traditional testers. A medical device manufacturer relied on the system’s consistent performance (no maintenance-related delays) to meet FDA-mandated corrosion testing deadlines for a new surgical instrument line.
“CleanTech Pro was built for labs where ‘down time = lost time’,” said TOBO GROUP’s Lab Efficiency Director. “Manual cleaning and constant maintenance shouldn’t be the cost of reliable corrosion testing. This system takes the hassle out of upkeep, so teams can focus on what matters—getting accurate, timely test results to keep production or client projects on track.”
