A new concept in nozzle design, specifically developed to bring higher levels of versatility and flexibility to spraying solutions than is currently available, has been introduced by Bete Ltd., the UK arm of the US nozzle giant, Bete Fog Nozzle The new products use a principle of component interchangeability to simplify maintenance processes and achieve a full range of spraying patterns, all from a single system

Quick-change nozzles designed to save time
A range of quick-change connection nozzles, specifically designed to reduce time and increase the versatility of spraying applications, has been introduced by Bete
Nozzle cuts typical replacement times by 80%-90%
A product specifically designed to cut the cost and time traditionally associated with the maintenance of nozzles used for spray drying applications is available for the first time in the UK
The range will be of particular interest to industries such as food processing, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
By implementing a modular design, the Bete XA Series allows quick and easy interchanging of standard components to provide an extensive range of spraying objectives.
Unlike conventional products, the system also means that worn components do not result in replacement of the entire unit.
For example, the XA series offers a unique threaded cylinder rod end and replaceable tip which, if damaged or worn during flow shut-off, can be replaced without necessitating the purchase of the entire assembly, thus reducing maintenance and inventory requirements.
As each XA Series component is designed to be fully interchangeable, replacement of each part is quick and easy, and does not require an entire system overhaul.
The product can also be retrofitted to any existing system and all fluid caps are compatible with all existing assemblies and all cylinders are interchangeable with any existing bodies.
Using compressed air, the XA nozzle system functions as a multi-component air-atomising system which produces the most finely atomised sprays available at relatively low flow rates.
Depending on which interchangeable air and fluid caps is selected, the nozzles can produce eight distinctly different types of sprays for applications such as humidification, cooling and chemical processing.
The basic XA nozzle operation consists of a body, a spray set-up, and a hardware assembly that can provide shut-off and clean-out capabilities, and is available in a wide range of materials including nickel-plated brass and 303/316 stainless steel.
Standard seal materials allow the XA nozzle to operate in temperatures of up to 400ø F, while materials for higher user temperatures are available on request.
