Every equipment type in Tank Cleaning Equipment links to full manufacturer and model data, specifications and service notes.

Programmable Tank Cleaning Machine
A programmable tank cleaning machine runs a pre-set wash pattern — nozzle rotation speed, arc and cycle time — instead of a single fixed jet path, so the same unit can be tuned to a small chemical tank one voyage and a large crude tank the next without swapping equipment.

Fixed Tank Cleaning Nozzle
Fixed Tank Cleaning Nozzle
A fixed tank cleaning nozzle is a wall- or deckhead-mounted, non-portable washing machine that rotates in a fixed pattern to cover its zone of a cargo tank, in contrast to portable machines lowered on a hose through a tank hatch for one-off cleans.

Portable Tank Cleaning Gun
Portable Tank Cleaning Gun
A portable tank cleaning gun reaches the corners a fixed rotary tank cleaning machine misses, connected by hose to the ship's washing water or chemical supply and worked by hand inside the tank rather than lowered through a deck hatch.

Fixed Tank Cleaning Machine
Fixed Tank Cleaning Machine
A fixed tank cleaning machine is permanently piped and mounted inside the cargo tank, rotating on two axes to sweep high-pressure water or chemical jets across the internal surface without anyone entering the tank to move it.
5 models
Portable Tank Cleaning Machine
Portable Tank Cleaning Machine
A portable tank cleaning machine, commonly called a Butterworth-type unit, is lowered into a cargo tank through a deck opening on its own hose and lowered on a wire, rather than being permanently mounted, which is what separates it from fixed tank cleaning installations.

Tank Cleaning Machine
Tank Cleaning Machine
A tank cleaning machine drives one or more rotating jet nozzles through a programmed or continuous cycle inside a cargo tank, using the mechanical force of the water or chemical jet rather than manual scrubbing to strip residue off the tank internals.

Knowledge

What a Tank Cleaning Equipment engineer checks first.

Manual tank cleaning with hand-held hoses is slow, puts crew inside a potentially hazardous atmosphere for longer than necessary, and gives inconsistent coverage depending on who is holding the hose. A tank cleaning machine solves this by lowering a nozzle head into the tank through a deck-mounted fitting and driving it through a fixed or programmable pattern - vertical indexing combined with horizontal rotation - so the jet sweeps the entire internal surface in a repeatable sequence. Machines range from simple fixed-pattern rotary jets, cycling continuously through the same sweep…
