Professional Soaking Tanks

Cleaning utensils and all equipment used in a professional kitchen does not only happen with normal washing and the use of dishwashers. Often, in large kitchens, you find yourself facing encrusted pots and tableware that need degreasing, from which, even after many hours of washing, the removal of accumulated residues does not always occur adequately.

It is for this very reason that soaking tanks come into play, special tanks filled with water and specific detergents, where equipment is immersed and left to soak, allowing you to wash, degrease, descale, and sanitize any type of utensil or component found in kitchens.

Where and for what are soaking tanks used?

Soaking tanks are a necessary tool within professional kitchens and particularly in those of hotels, restaurants, fast food outlets, pizzerias, delicatessens, food factories, and bakeries. Holity.com offers a wide range of soaking tanks with the aim of providing the suitable model for any type of activity, whether catering or otherwise.

Soaking tanks allow for the degreasing and descaling of every type of utensil present in the kitchen. They range from standard tableware, pots, and ladles to hood filters, skewers, fryer baskets, trays, and molds for bakeries and pastry shops.

How to use soaking tanks?

Soaking tanks are very easy to use and designed to maximize the reduction of labor effort at the washing station while simultaneously ensuring excellent results in terms of equipment cleanliness.

It will no longer be necessary to waste time scrubbing, degreasing, and descaling by hand; simply add the detergent in the indicated dosage, remove food residues from the utensils, and immerse them inside the tank; here, the utensils are entirely enveloped by the solution that removes dirt and descales the entire surface of the object. After a certain period of time, the objects are rinsed with running water using a simple pre-rinse spray or passed directly to the dishwasher.

Use of specific detergents

Soaking tanks should therefore be used in combination with specific detergents, thanks to which an impeccable result is ensured without the need to spend endless hours scrubbing pots with mediocre results. These detergents are distinguished by being non-caustic, ecological, and having a low environmental impact.

What are the main distinguishing features of soaking tanks?

There are various types of soaking tanks: there are those specific for soaking cutlery, and those also suitable for pots, tableware, and other kitchen utensils. In general, to identify the model best suited for you, the main aspects to consider are as follows:

1. Capacity

The main feature that differentiates one soaking tank from another is capacity.

There are soaking tanks with limited capacities, suitable for containing a limited number of tools, making them ideal for small restaurants, bakeries, and pizzerias. Then there are soaking tanks with larger capacities, suitable for large kitchens, laboratories, or factories where the amount of equipment to be washed is higher.

2. Presence of a drain tap

Most soaking tanks include a drain tap to allow for easy emptying of the tank at the end of the soaking cycles.

3. Presence of a removable grid

Another aspect that allows you to identify the soaking tank best suited to your business is whether the internal grid of the tank is removable. A soaking tank with a removable grid not only allows for easier extraction of the contents but also makes cleaning operations at the end of the workday more practical and faster.

What are the advantages of using a soaking tank?

In addition to ensuring perfect cleaning of kitchen equipment, soaking tanks also offer other important advantages including:

• Reduction of labor effort: it will no longer be necessary to spend hours scrubbing and degreasing pots, grills, trays, and other items encrusted with dirt or burnt residue.
• Overall reduction in water: soaking tanks are designed to be filled and used for multiple soaking cycles.
• Compliance with HACCP regulations: passing equipment through soaking tanks before rinsing or dishwashing ensures an impeccable result in terms of cleaning and sanitizing kitchen tools.
