Spectank® – Revolutionising Commercial Kitchen Cleaning Since 1991
In 1991, the cleaning industry witnessed a groundbreaking innovation with the launch of CARBSOLVE®—the world’s first safe and effective carbon remover. Designed to tackle stubborn baked-on fats and oils, commonly known as “black carbon,” CARBSOLVE® transformed the way commercial kitchens and bakeries clean their pots, pans, grills, and equipment.
This innovation marked the birth of Spectank®, a company that has since expanded into 44 countries (as of 2025), with over 60,000 heated soak tanks operating around the clock. The Spectank® System provides a cost-effective, safe, hygienic, and environmentally friendly solution to what was once a labor-intensive and unpleasant task.
As we’ve grown, so has our commitment to innovation. Beyond our signature soak tanks, we offer a comprehensive range of cleaning solutions, including:
- A diverse selection of specialised chemicals, with part of the range holding SABS accreditation
- A 100% all-natural cleaning line
