Find Products for Your Process with EXAIR’s Interactive Factory Floor

Published on by John BallLeave a comment

            EXAIR and BETE have launched a new interactive factory microsite designed to help manufacturers quickly identify products that can improve efficiency, safety, and performance throughout their facility. The digital experience features a fully interactive factory floor map with clickable hotspots positioned throughout key production and maintenance areas. Each hotspot highlights how specific EXAIR & BETE products can be applied to real-world industrial processes, giving users a practical, visual way to explore engineered solutions for their operations. 

            The new digital plant allows users to navigate through different areas of a manufacturing facility and interact with application-specific product recommendations. Each hotspot provides product images, concise explanations of how the product functions in that environment, and direct access to product pages for fast, convenient purchasing. From conveying and cooling to blow-off, static elimination, and industrial cleanup, the platform demonstrates how liquid and air solutions integrate into everyday manufacturing challenges. Built to simplify product discovery and improve customer experience, the microsite offers an engaging new way for engineers, maintenance personnel and plant managers to evaluate solutions tailored to their needs. 

            This tool is part of EXAIR and BETE’s ongoing commitment to providing customers with accessible tools and technical resources for solving industrial challenges. In addition to the new digital experience, EXAIR offers a wide range of support resources, including detailed product line cards, application guides, drawings, blog articles, Efficiency Lab, videos, technical documentation, and direct access to Application Engineers for personalized assistance to help customers confidently select the right solution for their application.  You can find it here: Factory Floor.

                Currently, we have Food and Beverage Production with more to come.  Please take a tour and if you wish to share any past developments or wish to improve production rates, an Application Engineer will be able to assist you.

Axial vs. Deflector: Which BETE Fan Nozzle Really Makes the Cut?

Published on by Tyler DanielLeave a comment

Since BETE became part of the EXAIR family back in 2024, we’ve been able to offer a much deeper bench of spray technology to solve the more complex fluid delivery problems our customers face. When you need precision in a spray process, choosing the right pattern is just as critical as the fluid you’re pumping. Fan nozzles are the go-to when you need a flat sheet of liquid with a specific impact. Whether you’re washing down a conveyor or applying a thin coating to a part, the goal is uniform distribution and, often, high force.

There are two primary ways these fan patterns are created: axial and deflector. With an axial fan nozzle, the liquid exits through an orifice and naturally widens into a flat spray. These are great for general cleaning and washing because they provide a tapered edge. This is perfect for overlapping multiple nozzles on a header to get seamless, uniform coverage across a wide area without any “light” spots between nozzles.

Then you have deflector-style nozzles. In this design, the fluid hits an external surface after exiting the orifice, which “peels” the liquid into an extra-wide fan. Because the fluid is deflected, these nozzles can achieve a much higher impact at lower flow rates, making them ideal for heavy-duty scrubbing, rinsing, or suppressing dust.

We see these used across a ton of different industries because of that versatility. In food and beverage, they’re a staple for bottle and container washing. In the steel industry, you’ll find them cooling down rolls or applying lubricants. They even play a huge role in fire protection, specifically in deluge systems where you need to move a lot of water quickly and accurately.

The main takeaway is that fan nozzles are the best choice whenever you have relative motion between the nozzle and the target. If you have a product moving down a line that needs to be wetted, coated, or cleaned, a fan pattern is likely the most efficient way to get it done.

Between EXAIR’s compressed air expertise and BETE’s industrial spray nozzle catalog, we can help you spec out the right nozzle for the job. Give us a call and we’ll walk through the flow rates and spray angles your application requires.
