Why process stability matters

Pretreatment processes are only as robust as their bath control. Even small deviations in pH, conductivity, temperature, or ORP can introduce variability - leading to reactive corrections, unnecessary chemical additions, or, in the worst case, downtime. The BONDERITE® E-CO GUARD system addresses this directly by continuously monitoring and controlling the relevant signals to support a more stable, transparent process.

Key benefits

More precise process control

Keep critical parameters closer to target and reduce large, reactive corrections.

Less manual adjustment

Automated control loops reduce operator intervention and support consistent results across shifts.

Faster troubleshooting

Visibility into process trends helps narrow down root causes faster and initiate corrective actions more effectively.

Multi-channel process control for pretreatment lines

The BONDERITE® E-CO GUARD system is a multi-channel process control unit for metal pretreatment. It is designed to control cleaning, rinsing, and treatment stages in pretreatment lines and keep key process parameters stable. The focus is on repeatability and efficient operation: fewer day-to-day interventions, and more control over what’s actually happening in the process.

Typical measurement parameters

Depending on the application, measurement parameters can include pH, conductivity, temperature and ORP. The sensing and control loops are individually configurable, allowing different process stages within a line to be mapped to your specific requirements.
