Automated Feather Duster: Using Encore engineered and designed standard machines and robot mounted assemblies Encore offers an extensive assortment of custom feather duster systems for a wide variety of vehicle and product sizes. Current systems range from full robotic feather dusters with optional integrated hoods to floor mounted hood assemblies. Encore standard single column articulating machines can be provided in clean wall or in booth design with servo controlled articulating axis or manual adjusted fixed machines. A combination of both robotic and fixed machine feather dusting systems can offer the most flexible design for complex requirements. Encore also offers a unique hoodless truck box interior robotic feather duster. Removing the hood allows the feather rolls to get into areas which would be inhibited by the presence of a hood. Instead a fixed hood is mounted alongside the robot allowing the rolls to be cleaned between boxes. Encore also manufactures in house all the Ostrich feather rolls for the Encore systems as well as any replacement feather rolls for existing feather duster systems.
TKS Industrial has acquired Encore Automation, a leader in Automation and Robot Integration in the Automotive and Aerospace industries. We design our robot paint systems to provide the most efficient painting process within a spec’d time frame to determine the optimal number of required robots. TKS employs a large staff of full-time engineers. From sizing equipment based on heat loads and specifications to designing new layouts for brand new paint shops, our Engineering & CAD team can provide full-service engineering. We design custom paint booths, industrial ovens, and other paint process equipment.
TKS offers a proprietary high-pressure water spray technology to clean car bodies of weld balls and iron dust prior to the film build processes. A clean car body is critical to a quality surface finish. TKS offers design, fabrication, and installation of industrial tanks for electro-coat and UF rinses. Our unique lineup includes the iron removal system (Flood Spray), high-performance washing system (Parallel Separator), and counter-flow circulation tank in the degrease process, and high-pressure spray water washing processes. I-LAS (Impact Blast Washer System) is our high-performance water washing system which efficiently remove iron powder from body surfaces with minimal water and pressure.

TKS can design heated flash off tunnels for your paint process, using a heater box to provide hot air blow (HAB) to allow for the waterborne paint to set prior to the next coat of paint. Typically followed by a short cooling tunnel with cold air blow (CAB) to return the vehicle to near room temperature before the next layer of paint is applied.
All four major ovens: E-coat oven, Sealer oven, (optional) Primer oven, and Topcoat oven all consist of heat-up and hold zones. In a 3-wet paint booth process arrangement, there isn’t a Primer oven, instead a heated flash off (HFO) is used. Sometimes there are also smaller ovens for black-out and cavity wax. We offer a paint-drying oven that responds to temperature increases in body areas. The oven design will increase heating in zones of thick parts, such as sill inners or pillars where it is difficult to dry paints, while maintaining the temperature of keep-zones with a minimized flow rate to reduce dirt contamination and reduce energy usage.
TKS is committed to providing our Customers with products and services that meet or exceed expectations. We will identify and anticipate the Customers’ current and future needs and create and implement quality products to satisfy those needs. Through this, we aim to maintain an impeccable reputation in our field and ensure our success well into the future. Read additional information on this website.
