When it comes to selecting the ideal heated soak tank for your commercial kitchen, various factors like features, efficiency, and safety come into play. Setting itself apart from the competition, the DECARBONATOR boasts cutting-edge technology and a user-friendly design, establishing itself as a top-tier option over traditional tanks such as the Fog Tank and Clean X-press. Unlike its counterparts that maintain a temperature of 165 degrees, the DECARBONATOR keeps a constant 185-degree temperature. This distinction is crucial as a lower temperature necessitates additional cleaning and sanitization steps through a 3-compartment sink process for kitchen staff to uphold safety standards. Discover the 18 key enhancements that elevate the DECARBONATOR as the premier choice for ensuring safety, efficiency, and ease of operation.
Design and Usability
- More Models: With five different models available, the DECARBONATOR caters to a variety of needs and kitchen sizes, ensuring there’s an option that perfectly fits any commercial setting.
- Increased Work Surface: The DECARBONATOR features a flat lid without protruding hinges or handles, providing a large usable work surface, uninterrupted surface that facilitates easier handling of kitchen equipment.
- Ergonomic Lid Handle: A full-length handle on the lid improves grip and accessibility, ensuring that staff can open and close the tank safely and comfortably. The handle is dropped and the arc caused by opening from this position facilitates steam escaping while hands are completely out of the way. Other heated soak tank handles are placed on the top of the lid or do not securely fit snugly on the tank causing heat to escape – plus the lids are heavy.
- Integrated Spill Management: A built-in trough catches condensate and spills, automatically channeling this liquid back into the tank, keeping the surrounding area clean and dry.
- Increased Capacity: The strategic relocation of hinges allows for greater interior access, enhancing the tank’s capacity without enlarging its footprint.
Safety Features
- Friction Hinges: These specialized hinges prevent the lid from opening quickly and thus allows steam to escape.
- Crush Prevention: The design of the lid and its hinges restrict the lid from slamming closed, preventing any sudden movements that could cause injury.
- Clear H2O Fill Line: This improvement features a debossed line inside the tank, which remains visible in all conditions, ensuring accurate and safe water levels are maintained.
- Basket Handle: Redesigned for better accessibility and safety, positioned out of the water to minimize the risk of scalding when removing the basket. The wide opening and wide resting brackets are easy to locate
- Rubber Gasket: This new gasket seals the lid tightly, containing odors and maintaining a cleaner kitchen environment.
- Manual Reset-Troubleshoot: Accessible via the back panel, this feature allows for quick thermostat reset, eliminates downtime which is essential for troubleshooting and maintenance.
- Hose Storage: Ensures the refill hose is easily accessible and neatly stored at the back of the unit, preventing misplacement and damage.
Operational Efficiency and Convenience
- Accessible Power/Heater Switches: Thoughtfully placed and color-coded switches make operation straightforward and minimize the risk of errors during hectic kitchen operations.
- Reset Switch: Allows for easy resetting of the monthly timer at the start of each cycle, ensuring optimal performance.
- Monthly Timer: Features an indicator that changes color to signify when it’s time to replace the cleaning solution, simplifying maintenance.
- Instruction Labels: Now available in English, Spanish, and French, catering to a diverse workforce and ensuring clear communication.
- Hoists: Available for larger models (85GAL and 120GAL) and gantry hoists available for models 250GAL and 500GAL, these hoists facilitate easier and safer handling of the unit, especially when filled.
Environmental Impact
- Chemical Efficiency: The tank is optimized for use with CarbonZyme®, a cleaning agent that breaks down fats and greases effectively without the environmental impact of stronger chemicals.
