Oz Tank soaking tank features

Don’t scrub it. Soak it!

Oz Tanks are made from a specially designed double-skinned stainless steel with a thermostatically controlled heating element. All Oz Tank soak tanks are Australian made.

The continued use of cooking equipment without regular and thorough cleaning causes fat build up which soon turns into a carbon like crust. This carbon build up becomes so hard that it is almost impossible to remove. The Oz Tank soak system solves this problem quickly, efficiently – all without harming the environment.

Various sizes available 

Oz Tank soaking tanks come in various sizes to accommodate the needs of all commercial kitchens.  Their large capacity means they can simultaneously clean numerous items at one time, making a soaking tank an ideal addition to high-volume kitchens.

Durable construction for longevity

Constructed from heavy-duty, double skinned stainless steel, Oz Tank soaking tanks have been designed to withstand the rigours of daily use. Their robust build ensures longevity and resistance to corrosion and staining.

Thermostatically controlled temperature settings

Oz Tank’s thermostatically controlled heating element adjusts the water temperature to break down stubborn grease and food residues and enhance the cleaning process.

Built-in drainage system

Equipped with a built-in drainage system, this makes removal of dirty water and residue simple and reduces manual handling.

Integrated agitation for improved cleaning

Our soaking tanks feature agitation mechanisms that help to loosen and lift dirt and grime from the surfaces.

Removable racks and baskets

To facilitate the cleaning of smaller items or delicate equipment, Oz Tank soaking tanks come with removable racks or baskets improving organisation and retrieval of equipment.

Environmentally friendly and non-toxic

Carbsolve is non-toxic, non-corrosive, environmentally friendly, user-friendly and biodegradable cleaning powder, specially formulated for use in Oz Tank soaking tanks. Together, Oz Tank and Carbsolve will remove fat, grease, carbon and oil without causing any damage to the parent material.

Value for money

One application of Carbsolve dissolved in the Oz Tank tank, and heated to operating temperature, will clean continuously and remove fat, grease, carbon and oil build-up for approximately 30 days.

Safe for staff and customers

Conventional methods for cleaning kitchen equipment includes acid baths, caustic soda and blasting, or soaking for hours in boiling water and chipping away manually for days and then repeating the same operation. These methods are costly, ineffective and dangerous.

Adherence to health and safety standards

With new health and safety regulations, the need for an Oz Tank soaking tank has become even greater. Health inspectors and fire officers are no longer prepared to allow the use of dirty filters. Replacement of these items is very expensive, and to have them cleaned by alternative methods is also costly and could lead to damage of the equipment.

Reduce energy consumption

Oz Tank soaking tanks reduces water, electricity and gas costs, far outweighing conventional cleaning methods.
