The opening of Bete's US design and test facility to the UK market will be welcomed by anyone looking for custom spray nozzle solutions.
Bete Ltd., the UK arm of the US nozzle giant, Bete Fog Nozzle, has opened its sophisticated design and test facility to the UK market, specifically to support customers looking for advanced non-standard solutions.
The facility, based in Massachusetts, USA, will be of interest to a wide range of sectors including the process, pollution control and fire protection industries, and enables Bete to develop solutions to previously unattainable levels of performance.
Using a range of patented digital modelling tools to optimise nozzle selection, Bete - the only nozzle company in the world to establish a complete in-house investment-casting foundry - helps customers find new ways to cut costs and maximise performance by using less liquid and lower pumping pressure.
The advanced techniques allow this to be achieved by taking into consideration effects such as of gravity, fluid pressure, gas velocity, cross winds and distance on spray coverage.
Through Bete Ltd., UK businesses now have seamless access to industry-leading technology ideally suited to the design of solutions for today's advanced spraying applications, such as fire protection on off-shore oil rigs, reducing SO2 emissions at coal-fired generating stations or spraying ingredients into mixing vats at food processing plants.
The tools used in the design and test process are among the most sophisticated currently available, and some are unique.
They include Bete's direct video imaging system which monitors spray patterns and offers ultra high accuracy for all droplets between 2u and 32,000u, moving at high speed.
The technique uses advanced CCD (charge coupled device) technology and high-speed xenon strobes, together with dedicated image processing hardware and uses the basic principle of illuminating the droplets with a strobe light to capture the image on a CCD camera so it can be easily digitalised.
Bete's advanced CIM (Computer Integrated Manufacturing) environment links CAD workstations, a CAM part programming system, and CNC machine tools.
The computerised scheduling system sequences every step in the production process, constantly adjusting the loads at each workstation to maximise throughput enabling Bete to manufacture any one of thousands of products within a very short time, while providing reliable delivery forecasts.
