Oven Cleaning Dip Tank (unheated) + supplies
« on: October 01, 2010, 01:32:01 pm »
I am selling an Oven Cleaning Dip Tank, along with some supplies for Oven Cleaning;

The Dip Tank was supplied by Drayton Tanks and is approximately 2.5 months old. It cost £267. This is not just a plastic box, it is a fit for purpose tank that is certified to hold water & waste at up to 70c.

Please note: this is an unheated dip tank.

When cleaning ovens, a dip tank is essential in order to soak the racks and trays, facilitating easy removal of the baked on carbon deposits. Some operatives use gas bottle heated dip tanks - I never wanted to go for this approach as it involves driving around in your van all day with a large gas bottle in the back! ..... a further option is an electrically heated dip tank but these are outrageously expensive (£1800 from Oven Gleam, but you also need to take a £1200 training course to qualify to buy one!).

So the easiest approach is to use an unheated tank like this one for sale, and fill it with hot water before a job(s). You can then buy a large catering kettle from eBay for £20 and add a further 5L of hot water when you get to the job, (or to top up the heat for a subsequent job).

Some use cold water in these tanks, in combination with powerful caustic products (which don't require heat) but my approach was to use 100% eco friendly products, so I always used hot water).

The tank has drilled holes in the lid to enable semi-permanent fastening but I never used these. The capacity is 91L but for oven cleaning (and for portable use in a van) you will never need more than 20L in the tank. Although the tank does not have a drainage tap, as long as it is not overfilled it is light, and easy to tip the waste contents of the tank into a suitable point. A further option would be to have a drain tap retro-fitted (never bothered me enough to do this).

Along with the tank I will supply a number of consumables including Stainless Steel Cleaner, Oven Glass Cleaner, Bio Dip Tank Solution, Scrapers, Blades, Micro cloths, and 2 x bulbs. The tank will fit in any sized van from a combi to a transit (and some estate cars).

Everything you need to start professional oven cleaning.



All for £100..... MUST be collected, please do not ask about a courier.

If interested, please contact me by email initially, at;

Cheers,
David.

Hi there,

I'd agree with you on how dangerous it is to carry gas bottles around and have a life flame heating up stuff at customers' houses either inside a van or out on the side of the road.

But I wouldn't say our tanks are outrageously expensive. The true price of the plastic electrically heated oven cleaning dip tank, supplied my us with the course,  is £1200. The cost of the course is £1900. To get your van fitted out so that the tank is chasis mounted, a rinse system fitted and electrics are fitted for this would be an additional £700. All these prices include VAT and will be changing in the New Year with the VAT increase.

When I started 7 years ago I spent £2400 on the course and £1200 on the tank and that was then so in real terms the price has gone down. The course was an inferior one to the one I now run. Also the current tank is an improved version of the tank I originally bought in that it is wider so that it can take the large 90cm racks and has the heating element in a more accessible place.

You pays your money and you make your choice.

Well, I've used a gas heated dip tank for nearly three years... As long as you use common sense, there should be no problems.

Paying £2400 on an oven cleaning course ??? Ouch!!!

When you consider the price of carpet cleaning courses, oven cleaning courses are way over priced!
