New Product Highlights
NOZZLES

The new BEX WT Series nozzles are designed specifically for high-pressure trimming applications in the pulp and paper industry. A synthetic ruby insert contained in the housing provides much higher wear resistance than the equivalent stainless steel nozzles. They produce a steady laminar stream of liquid at up to 2,000 psi of pressure. An adjustable Teflon® shield protects the orifice from loose strands of fiber (produced by the high-pressure trimming action) that could otherwise plug the ori fice.

HOSE LIFE EXTENSION

Unicoil™ is a simple, effective tool designed to extend the life of a hose assembly. With no tools or specific equipment needed, the stainless steel Unicoil™ slides over the outside of the hose. Its flexible spine can then be bent up to 90° to form the hose into a desired shape so it can be protected from abrasion, kinking from fatigue, or rerouted around heat or obstacles. Unicoil™ can accommodate hose outside diameters from .52" to 1.42". They are useable and can be used above or below ground and underwater.
