Product catalog summary
Overview of Equipment and Tank Washing Solutions
BETE provides three main types of tank cleaning solutions: Stationary Tank Cleaning Nozzles, Rotating Tank Cleaning Nozzles, and Tank Cleaning Machines. Each is tailored to specific cleaning needs and vessel characteristics.
Stationary Tank Cleaning Nozzles
These nozzles, like the HydroClaw® and spiral TW, are static with no moving parts, offering low maintenance and compatibility with small vessel openings. They are ideal for small tanks due to their large free passage.
Rotating Tank Cleaning Nozzles
Products such as the HydroWhirl® S and HydroWhirl® Poseidon® use the spray media's reaction force to rotate the nozzle head, providing 360° coverage and reducing water and cleaning agent consumption.
Tank Cleaning Machines
The HydroWhirl® Orbitor and Orbitor100 models use high-impact jet nozzles in a 2-axis orbital pattern for complete coverage, suitable for hard-to-clean residues and larger vessels.
Choosing a Tank Washing Nozzle
Considerations include vessel size and shape, type of residue, and required spray coverage. BETE nozzles cater to a range of vessel sizes, with options like the HydroWhirl® S for small vessels and the HydroWhirl® Orbitor for larger tanks.
HydroWhirl® S Nozzle
This nozzle offers quick cleaning with less water and pressure, featuring a self-cleaning bearing design and stainless steel construction, available in various sizes and connections, with ATEX approval for explosive atmospheres.
HydroWhirl® Poseidon® Nozzle
Designed for harsh chemical environments, this PTFE nozzle provides slow rotation for high-impact cleaning, is maintenance-friendly, and made from FDA-compliant materials, offering complete 360° coverage.
HydroWhirl® Orbitor Machines
These machines are ideal for high-impact cleaning in industries like food, dairy, and chemicals, featuring a compact design and self-cleaning capabilities, available in 2 or 4 nozzle configurations.
Conclusion
BETE's tank washing solutions are engineered for efficient, reliable cleaning across various industries, focusing on reducing operating costs and downtime.
Spray Characteristics and Specifications
The document outlines specifications and features of various tank cleaning machines and nozzles, focusing on the HydroWhirl® Orbitor and HydroClaw® models. Key features include a 360° wash pattern, flow rates from 21.5 to 160 gpm, and working pressures between 45 to 145 psi. Materials include 316L stainless steel, PEEK, and carbon-filled PTFE, with a maximum working temperature of 200°F (95°C) and ATEX approval.
Design Features
The design emphasizes ease of maintenance and efficiency, with field-serviceable parts, self-cleaning and self-lubricating features, high-impact jets, and compact design suitable for small to medium tanks.
HydroClaw® Nozzle
The HydroClaw® is designed for superior clog resistance and efficiency, with a patent-pending design, FDA-compliant 316L stainless steel construction, and low pressure, high flow operation for quick rinsing.
Case Study: Tomato Processing Plant
A case study highlights the HydroClaw®'s effectiveness in a tomato processing plant, reducing maintenance and improving cleaning efficiency by addressing clogging issues with traditional nozzles.
Advantages of BETE Nozzles
BETE nozzles offer advantages such as clog resistance, low maintenance, custom design, and ISO 9001:2015 certification, backed by over 65 years of experience.

Slotted, Rotating Spray Nozzle for Quick, Efficient Tank Cleaning The HydroWhirl S nozzle directs the cleaning water through a rotating head at the tip of the spray assembly. This produces a vigorous moving spray action against all areas of the walls of a tank. The spray pattern from the HydroWhirl S head uses impact and repetition to quickly wash the tank. This spray pattern is especially effective at breaking up and removing contaminants. Advantages of the HydroWhirl® S rotary spray nozzle. • Cleans more quickly, and uses less water, and lower pressure than static tank washers • Lower flow...
