STILL SCRUBBING?
Burnt-on carbon, baked-on grease and stubborn food residue are some of the most time-consuming cleaning tasks in any commercial kitchen. Our Heated Decarbonising Soak Tank Service does the hard work for you, allowing your team to spend less time scrubbing and more time preparing great food. Simply load your dirty pots, pans, oven racks, grill plates, fryer baskets, filters and other kitchen equipment into the tank, leave them to soak, then rinse. Heavy carbon that once required hours of scraping and scrubbing is dramatically softened and lifted away with minimal effort.
The secret isn't just the heat... And it isn't just the cleaning formula... It's the perfect balance of both.
Our insulated stainless steel soak tanks maintain an optimum operating temperature while our specially formulated K.O Carb cleaning solution activates in the heated water. The active ingredient is Sodium Carbonate, carefully blended with complementary cleaning agents that work together to:
Heat accelerates this process dramatically. At the correct operating temperature, the chemistry becomes significantly more effective than either heat or chemicals alone.
The result is a cleaning system that removes years of carbon build-up while being far gentler on your equipment than aggressive scraping or harsh caustic cleaning methods.
Unlike buying a machine and managing everything yourself, Knockout provides a complete managed service.

Why Kitchens Choose Knockout?
Save Labour, Reduce the hours spent manually scrubbing burnt-on carbon and Water saving.
Instead of running taps continuously while scrubbing, the same heated cleaning solution remains in use for approximately a month before replacement. Many commercial kitchens can save thousands of litres of water every year depending on usage.
Lower Energy Consumption.
Our tanks are fully insulated with 50 mm insulation to minimise heat loss. Once the solution reaches operating temperature, the thermostat only reheats when necessary, resulting in surprisingly low day-to-day electricity consumption.
Extend Equipment Life:
Less aggressive scraping and reduced use of harsh cleaning methods helps preserve valuable kitchen equipment.
Improve Kitchen Hygiene:
Cleaner equipment is easier to maintain and contributes to higher hygiene standards throughout the kitchen. The Temperature of the solution creates a sterilising environment combined with the soak time.
Reduce Chemical Storage:
One managed cleaning system replaces multiple cleaners, degreasers and carbon removers used throughout the kitchen.
Why Our Formula Is Different:
K.O Carb has been developed over 18 months specifically for heated soak tank applications.
Rather than relying on extremely aggressive chemicals, our formula uses carefully balanced chemistry centred around the active ingredient, Sodium Carbonate. Combined with controlled heat and the correct soaking time, it penetrates stubborn carbon while remaining suitable for everyday commercial kitchen use.
This balance between chemistry, temperature and time is what delivers reliable cleaning performance month after month.
