So do BUTTERWORTH tank cleaning machines. The Right System Reduces Turn-around Time... Increases Profits. Because tank washing problems can be simple or complex there is no one machine that is right for every tank or task. But with this wide range of equipment Butterworth Systems can help you select precisely the right machine or combinations of machines for your vessel, so you get the optimum cleaning system at minimum cost. With the IMCO deadline approaching, there couldn't be a better time to let Butterworth Systems solve your tank cleaning problems The Industry Leader Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow For over fifty years Butterworth Systems has been the world leader in tank cleaning equipment Our complete line of tank washing machines offer thoroughly proven performance and the highest reliability. Each BUTTERWORTH* tank cleaning machine has its own unique cleaning capabilities and advantages which can provide a tailor-made system for your specific crude oil washing needs 1. The LAVOMATIC* SA Machine. For Fastest Cleaning of Large Tanks. The deck mounted LAVOMATIC" SA tank cleaning machine has a capacity of 90-150 tons per hour and a Selective Arc feature for single or multi-stage crude oil washing. It is the only tank cleaning machine in the world which has a patented programed speed feature which concentrates cleaning effectiveness wherever sludge buildup is normally heavy. The LAVOMATIC* SA unit automatically slows down when washing critical areas and then speeds up over less critical areas. This speed programming feature can result in up to 60% reduced cleaning time The LAVOMATIC® SA advantage: the fastest economical cleaning of even the largest tanks plus a long history of superb performance and reliability. 2Introducing • the BUTTERWORTH• P-60 Machine. Making Multi-stage Crude Oil Washing More Economical. The latest addition to the Butterworth Systems family of tank cleaning machines, the P-60 is a single nozzle, deck mounted machine functionally similar to the LAVOMATIC® SA machine. The capacity of the P-60 ranges from 90 to 150 tons per hour. It features a permanently mounted control box/power source, preset speed and full-flow turbine. Three preset selectable arcs are available to the tanker crew for a full wash, side wash or bottom wash. The bottom wash setting features a closer wash pattern to provide the greater cleaning power required there. The P-60 advantage: provides multi- stage washing and proven Butterworth Systems reliability while reducing initial cost.
