The electrical control core of non-standard equipment: PLC programmable logic controllers deliver high-precision motion control, multi-layer safety interlocking and real-time production data interaction for flexible, stable operation. ES-PRO builds electrical control as the foundation for multiple automation line solutions balancing standardization and customization, meeting and exceeding industry standards. Intelligent, reliable solutions for the surface treatment equipment sector.

Hot air circulation heating ensures uniform heat distribution across workpieces, preventing localized overheating or under-baking. Precise temperature control and energy-saving design cut energy consumption while improving heat-treatment efficiency; multiple heating methods and optional dehumidification meet stringent process requirements. Widely used in electroplating and coating for drying and curing, ideal for rack-plated parts, barrel-plated parts and precision components.

Exhaust and treatment systems built from flame-retardant PPS, PVC and FRP deliver fire resistance and corrosion protection. Acid-alkaline exhaust, chromium mist, cyanide compounds and organic vapors are captured by category and treated with advanced purification, keeping emissions consistently compliant. Applicable to electroplating, electroless plating and coating workshops; customized to local environmental policies for discharge compliance, essential for green production.
