One system, greater control
BONDERITE E-CO Flex is designed to control, manage and track key parameters throughout the pretreatment process. The system collects information from measurement sensors and uses the data to automatically manage components such as dosing pumps, electro valves and alarms.
Parameters including pH, conductivity and temperature can be continuously monitored and controlled. With the ability to manage up to six processes simultaneously, E-CO Flex helps manufacturers maintain consistent process conditions while reducing the need for manual intervention.
The next generation of E-CO Flex
The new BONDERITE E-CO Flex replaces the previous generation and introduces a range of hardware and connectivity upgrades designed to make process control even easier and more reliable.
Key enhancements include:
- A new touchscreen display for a smoother user experience
- A new high-performance processor for optimized performance
- Integrated Wi-Fi, LAN, USB and Modbus connectivity
- A redesigned external box providing convenient access to cable glands, LAN and USB ports
- New high-performance eMMC memory designed to operate without electromagnetic interference
- Proven immunity to electromagnetic interference
- IP65 protection against dust and water jets
- A new front mask that maintains compatibility with previous E-CO Flex versions
These improvements make it easier for users to benefit from evolving digital technologies while maintaining control over their processes.
From process control to connected production
The new E-CO Flex goes beyond monitoring at the production line. It is also compatible with the Henkel-Nimbus platform, enabling users to remotely view real-time readings and download historical E-CO Flex data in multiple formats.
This increased visibility gives manufacturers valuable information about their processes and supports a more connected, data-driven approach to metal pretreatment.
With continuous monitoring, E-CO Flex can help optimize chemical usage, support consistent quality and identify process deviations. Its automated control capabilities can also contribute to reducing water consumption and improving wastewater treatment processes – supporting both operational efficiency and sustainability goals.
A smarter way to manage metal pretreatment
With upgraded performance, enhanced connectivity and an improved user experience, the new BONDERITE E-CO Flex builds on a proven solution for controlling, managing and tracking metal pretreatment processes.
It brings process data, automation and connectivity together in one system – helping manufacturers gain greater visibility and control over their operations and take another step toward smarter, more efficient production.
