Shanghai – TOBO GROUP, a pioneer in eco-efficient lab equipment, is proud to launch the EcoConserve Low-Waste Salt Spray Tester—a system engineered to minimize consumable waste, cut salt and water usage by 80%, and enable closed-loop recycling of testing fluids, addressing two critical pain points for high-volume testers: the high ongoing cost of disposable supplies (salt, filters, single-use sensors) and the environmental burden of hazardous waste (contaminated saltwater, used components) from traditional testing. Unlike standard salt spray testers, which require full replacement of salt solution after each test and discard filters/sensors every 50–100 hours, this platform prioritizes reusability and recycling—making it ideal for large-scale manufacturers (e.g., 家电，建筑五金，automotive components), third-party testing labs, and enterprises aiming to meet ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals without sacrificing test accuracy or speed.
At the heart of the EcoConserve is its Closed-Loop Salt Solution Recycling System, which eliminates the need to drain and replace saltwater after each test. The system uses a three-stage purification process: first, a sediment filter removes corrosion byproducts (e.g., rust particles, metal flakes) from used solution; second, a reverse-osmosis membrane strips impurities (e.g., dissolved metal ions, organic residues) to restore the solution’s purity to ASTM/ISO standards; third, a conductivity sensor checks salt concentration, automatically adding small amounts of fresh salt or deionized water to adjust levels (3–5% NaCl) before the solution is pumped back into the fog generator. This cycle lets the same salt solution be reused for up to 20 consecutive tests—compared to traditional testers that require 10–15 liters of new solution per test, the EcoConserve uses just 2–3 liters of initial solution and <1 liter of 补充 fluid over 20 tests. A large automotive component manufacturer testing 50 batches of door hinges monthly reported cutting salt and water costs by 75% after switching to the EcoConserve, while reducing liquid waste disposal by 90% (from 600 liters of contaminated water monthly to just 60 liters). The system also includes a built-in UV sterilization module to prevent microbial growth in recycled solution, ensuring no impact on test results.
Complementing the fluid recycling is the Reusable Consumable Component Suite, designed to replace single-use parts with durable, washable alternatives. Traditional testers rely on disposable paper filters (clogged by salt residues after 50 hours) and single-use plastic specimen racks (prone to corrosion and breakage); the EcoConserve uses stainless steel mesh filters that can be cleaned with high-pressure water and reused for 500+ hours (10x longer than disposable filters) and glass-reinforced nylon racks that resist salt corrosion and can be sanitized between tests for years of use. Even the system’s key sensors—humidity, temperature, and salt concentration—are encased in corrosion-resistant Hastelloy alloy, extending their lifespan from 6 months (standard sensors) to 3 years. A third-party testing lab handling 100+ tests weekly calculated that the reusable suite cut their consumable budget by $12,000 annually, compared to their old tester’s reliance on disposable parts. The suite also includes color-coded, stackable specimen trays that reduce material waste by maximizing chamber space—letting the lab test 30% more specimens per cycle without increasing solution usage.
Another defining feature is the Hazardous Waste Minimization Kit, which simplifies compliance with global environmental regulations (e.g., EU REACH, U.S. EPA, China GB 18598) for hazardous waste disposal.
Real-world applications across high-volume, sustainability-focused sectors underscore the EcoConserve’s value: A global 家电 brand used the system to test stainless steel kitchen appliances, cutting annual salt usage from 500kg to 100kg and earning a “Sustainable Supplier” certification from a major retailer.
“EcoConserve redefines ‘cost-effective testing’ by looking beyond upfront price to long-term consumable and waste costs,” said TOBO GROUP’s Eco-Efficiency Director. “Traditional testers make you pay twice—once for the machine, and repeatedly for disposables and waste disposal. This system lets you save money and reduce your environmental footprint. It’s not just a tester; it’s an investment in sustainable operations.”
