Spray Nozzle Fabrication

BETE uses three basic manufacturing processes: injection molding, machining from bar stock and investment casting. Injection molding is used for large quantities of nozzles made from plastics such as PVC, ABS and PVDF. Bar stock machining is often used for metal alloy and plastic nozzles which have relatively small quantities. Investment casting offers a precise and economical way to produce complex shapes in alloys that are difficult or expensive to machine.

In addition, BETE offers many specialized processes. The welding department, which is fully qualified to ASME Section VIII, has made a specialty of joining dissimilar metals. This makes it possible to design nozzles combining alloys having superior anti-abrasion or corrosion properties with those having excellent machinability or weldability. Other specialized processes include plasma spray coating, plating, heat treating, grinding, ceramic fabrication and filament winding of FRP.
