How does a Spectank® Heated Soak Tank work?
- A Spectank® is filled with water and CARBSOLVE®.
- The solution is heated to 80°C, ensuring that harmful bacteria will be killed.
- Soiled items are soaked in this solution for a period of 1 to 24 hours depending on the severity of the “Black Carbon” build-up.
- These cleaned and sanitised items are removed and rinsed off with fresh water.
- Without the use of harsh chemicals and valuable staff time, your items are now ready for use.
- CARBSOLVE® has activators which are released at various stages ensuring that the solution remains active for a full month.
- On a monthly cycle, a technician will service your Spectank®, which includes draining, cleaning and refilling the soak tank as well as all repairs and maintenance.
- A Spectank® is available in five standard sizes, or it can be custom designed, depending on kitchen requirements.
Spectank® is much more than just a cleaning system. Our business model has been developed to make sure that you get maximum return from your investment. Spectank® operates as an asset to your business.
Advantages of Spectank
1.Saves Time and Money
Effective cleaning is essential to ensure the safety and hygiene of a kitchen, but conventional methods can be dangerous, costly and time-consuming.
A Spectank®, Heated Soak Tank works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and reduces the cost of labour, chemicals, water and electricity required to clean black carbon and sanitise equipment.
Cleaning in a tank soak application, as opposed to scrubbing, extends the lifespan of equipment and reduces replacement costs.
A Spectank® effectively cleans filters thereby eliminating the need to outsource this costly function.
Owing to the convenience, ease and speed of use, the Spectank® cleaning methodology will free up valuable time in your kitchen. This allows your employees to focus on value-adding activities, resulting in increased job satisfaction, skills development and reduced staff turnover.
2.Environmentally Friendly
One application of CARBSOLVE® in a Spectank® will clean all the carbon, fat, oil and grease from your equipment for a full month, significantly reducing your consumption of chemicals, water and energy.
CARBSOLVE® is Global GreenTag certified, non-toxic, non-corrosive and environmentally friendly.
The Spectank® system is safe for staff and customers.
