First then, best now
Arthur Butterworth invented and patented the process for tank cleaning, patented the first automated tank cleaning machine and then founded the company in 1925. Since then, it has been dedicated to fostering the advancement of this technology. Butterworth's primary purpose was to improve safety conditions aboard ocean-going vessels by eliminating manual cargo tank cleaning -- an often dangerous and laborious job. Today, in addition to serving marine customers, Butterworth offers consultation and engineering services suitable for all types of tanks across multiple industries.
Butterworth tank cleaning machines have built-in reliability and strength because they were originally intended for use in marine tank cleaning applications, where durability and dependability are a must. Now they have added versatility, simplifying deployment in plants with numerous and diverse types of tanks. Butterworth equipment uses its proprietary technology for faster cleaning, which means more uptime and productivity for your tanks.
Innovation made Butterworth the first, and a commitment to providing honest, friendly and knowledgeable service makes it one of the world's best as well.
Choices, choices
Butterworth manufactures tank cleaning machines for sale in the marine and industrial market. In addition, Butterworth has always been a rental company. During the 1960s, the Type K machine was the tank cleaning machine of choice for rental and is still today a unit highly used. Butterworth introduced the Type LT machine in 2008 to secure customers that require stainless steel machines for their applications.
The company's rental program at this time is unmatched by its competitors due to the services Butterworth provides its customers.
Butterworth's rental consists of a longterm lease agreement, which allows customers to rent as many or as few machines as they require for an ongoing amount of time. The company has customers that have been under rental for 30 years or more. It also has machines that have been on rental for decades.
Butterworth also offers a short-term rental. This program is for customers that have an immediate need for the machines for special projects but don't want to purchase a machine for these specific uses.
Butterworth's rental program has an exchange system. Should the unit fail to operate for any reason, the customer may contact Butterworth and request a replacement unit. Butterworth will ship the replacement unit at that time while awaiting the return of the defective machine.
With over 2,000 machines on rental worldwide, Butterworth developed during the early 1980s its original and exclusive system that tracks these machines by serial number at each location. Recording serial numbers coming and going from supply centers and in house, the system is set up to keep track of the locations of each unit along with the individual rates, discounts, etc.
