Eductors Enable Smaller Pumps to Circulate Large Volumes
Bex says its eductors take advantage of the surrounding liquid to create a high-velocity flow yield at the diffuser, circulating as much as five times the pump output with a discharge plume broader than the jet from a solid stream nozzle of equivalent energy.
At FABTECH 2018, Bex will display eductors for tank mixing, and spray nozzles for cleaning parts and equipment.
The company’s eductors feature a venturi design that enables smaller pumps to circulate large volumes of solution. According to Bex, they take advantage of the surrounding liquid to create a high-velocity flow yield at the diffuser, circulating as much as five times the pump output with a discharge plume broader than the jet from a solid stream nozzle of equivalent energy. Eductors with ¼" to 3" ports discharge as much as 1,410 gpm at 50 psi. In addition, they mix and agitate without introducing air, steam or contaminants into the solution.
Bex’s modular K-Ball clip-on spray nozzle series includes hundreds of combinations of nozzle options that deliver the appropriate spray pattern for parts cleaning, pretreatment, spray washing and rinsing applications. The threaded body adjusts spray direction with a twist of the cap. When used with Zip-Tips, the nozzle orientation locks down, even while exchanging nozzle tips. The heavy service clip is good to 100 psi (200 psi with two clips) at 175°F.Related Content

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #122: Electrochemical Approaches to Treatment of PFAS in Plating Wastewater - 10th Quarterly Report
The NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board selected a project addressing the problem of PFAS and related chemicals in plating wastewater streams. This report covers the 10th quarter of work (April-June 2023). Here, we examine the effect of surface fluorination of Ti4O7 anodes on PFAS degradation performance in terms of energy performance as well as formation of chlorate and perchlorate when chloride is present in the solution. The full paper on this work can be accessed and printed at short.pfonline.com/NASF24Feb2.

NASF/AESF Foundation Research Project #123: Electrochemical Manufacturing for Energy Applications – 2nd Quarterly Report
For 2022, NASF-AESF Foundation Research Board has selected a project on electrodeposition toward developing low-cost and scalable manufacturing processes for hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysis cells for clean transportation and distributed power applications. This report is the 2nd quarterly report, covering work during April-June 2022 and consists of an edited manuscript, “Manufacturing and Thermal Shock Characterization of Porous Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia for Hydrogen Energy Systems.”
