Retraction Mechanism for Spray Lances, Injectors, & Quills

Retractable lances allow you to withdraw your nozzle, isolate it from the process, and remove it entirely for servicing without taking your process offline. Once you have serviced, cleaned, or inspected the nozzle –reattach it to the system, open the isolation valve, and insert it back into the process. Such features are often critical for petrochemical facilities where process outages are costly. For example, specific applications involved in petroleum production contain very corrosive particles. The ability to remove the nozzle for replacement while keeping the process online offers tremendous cost savings. For smaller retractable lances, maintenance can manually insert and withdraw the lance pipe. BETE offers a robust retraction mechanism that effortlessly moves the lance from extended to inserted and back for larger sizes or any size where automation or ease of use is required. A simple cordless drill can power the unit, making this design a favorite for maintenance crews. The mechanism is flexible in its configuration, allowing alternate electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic power sources to drive the unit.
