BEX Introduces New Line of Nozzles
September 18, 2018 | BEXEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
BEX, a manufacturer of nozzles and eductors for manufacturing and maintenance applications, introduces a line of high-performance replacement nozzles engineered specifically for board shops and manufacturers of electronic wafers for microchips.
This BEX nozzle series includes 2 main categories of nozzles, each available in a wide variety of flow rates and angles, and each designed for maximum coverage and lowest fresh water consumption.
BEX Flat Fan Rinsing Nozzles, manufactured primarily from polypropylene or PVDF, (stainless steel is also available) are engineered for final rinses and are available in “water saver” models as low as .2 gpm. BEX Full Cone Nozzles are designed primarily for etching chambers and recirculated and final rinses; their pattern consists of multiple concentric hollow cones that together create the full cone effect with a small droplet size. In addition to nozzles, BEX manufactures eductors for use in copper plating and cleaning tanks.
To insure the best customer outcomes, Bex provides expert applications assistance for OEMs and board shops, M-F, from 8-5 EST. The company maintains a large inventory and has the industry’s fastest and most streamlined ordering process.

Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
