Soak Tanks Services
Vortech’s insulated soak tanks use a combination of heat and proprietary,
environmentally friendly chemicals to remove stubborn, burnt on carbon, sticky
fats, oils and greases from commercial kitchen equipment.
Pots, pans and baking equipment that have become blackened with burnt on food are soaked in our fully insulated Thermotanks® over night or while your team continue with other important tasks. With tens of thousands of soak tank services under our belts, we have certainly learnt a thing or two, and in 2022 Vortech launched its second generation of insulated soak tanks that offer clients several benefits.
Based on the number of insulated soak tanks already installed by the start of
2023, we estimate that Vortech helps its clients save a collective 2.5 million kwh
of electricity per month.

cooking oil filtration services
VITO Oil Filtration Machines are easy to use high-tech systems.
In just 4.5 minutes, clients can easily and safely fully filter hot cooking oil – thereby doubling its useful life, improving food quality and instantly reducing costs.
In order to help our clients extract maximum use out of the machine, we’ll deliver the right number of particle filters every month, monitor machine usage and ensure daily filtration protocols are followed. We will also check over the machine once a month, clean it and provide added training if necessary.

Grease Trap Services
Our internal grease trap (fat trap) services include vacuum pumping, cleaning and degreasing. In addition, inlet and outlet pipes are jetted and traps and floor drains are treated with a dose of slow-release, bio-remediation organic microbes that will assist with the breakdown of FOGS and help reduce drain blockages.
External grease traps are only vacuum pumped.
All the FOGS and wastewater removed from our clients’ grease traps are disposed of at carefully vetted sites and in a manner that is not harmful to the environment. For extra piece of mind and to meet compliance requirements of municipal bylaws, Vortech provides disposal certificates and service reports with each monthly service.
Grease trap bioremediation is the processes whereby SABS-approved beneficial bacteria and enzymes are introduced into the fat traps to permanently break down fats into carbon, water, and oxygen.
