Take greater control of your metal pretreatment processes

BONDERITE® E-CO Flex brings process control, automation and connectivity together in one system.

With upgraded performance, enhanced connectivity and an improved user experience, the new generation helps manufacturers gain greater visibility and control over their operations.

Discover how BONDERITE® E-CO Flex can support your metal pretreatment processes.

How does BONDERITE® E-CO Flex control pretreatment?

BONDERITE® E-CO Flex collects information from measurement sensors and uses this data to automatically manage components such as dosing pumps, electro valves and alarms.

Key parameters, including pH, conductivity and temperature, can be continuously monitored and controlled.

The system can manage up to six processes simultaneously, helping manufacturers maintain consistent process conditions while reducing the need for manual intervention.

What is new in the latest BONDERITE® E-CO Flex generation?

The new BONDERITE® E-CO Flex replaces the previous generation with hardware and connectivity upgrades designed to make process control easier and more reliable.

Key enhancements include:

• A new touchscreen display for a smoother user experience

• A high-performance processor for optimised 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 enable users to benefit from evolving digital technologies while maintaining control over their processes.

How does BONDERITE® E-CO Flex support remote monitoring?

BONDERITE® E-CO Flex extends process visibility beyond the production line through compatibility with the Henkel-Nimbus platform.

Users can remotely view real-time process readings and download historical E-CO Flex data in multiple formats.

This access to process information supports a more connected, data-driven approach to metal pretreatment management.

BONDERITE® E-CO Flex for More Sustainable Processes

Continuous monitoring and automated control can help manufacturers optimise chemical usage, maintain consistent quality and identify process deviations.

The system's automated control capabilities can also contribute to reducing water consumption and improving wastewater treatment processes.

Together, these capabilities support operational efficiency and sustainability goals in metal pretreatment.
