Hand Tools

  • Butterworth Systems recently introduced the Marine Liqua- Blaster®, an ultra-high-pressure water blaster unit for shipboard cleaning and descaling. Operating the Marine Liqua-Blaster unit at pressures up to 10,000 psi, one man can do the job normally done by a crew with chemicals, hand tools, or sandblasters. The Marine Liqua-Blaster unit can also be used to clean condenser tubes, oil spray from machinery, galley grease filters, clogged parts, and the like.

    1980 marks Butterworth Systems 50th year of operation. Don Powell, president of Butterworth Systems, recently commented at a press conference at their Florham Park headquarters: "In the last 50 years we've seen a lot of companies come and go. Butterworth Systems plans to keep going strong in the next 50."
