Power Soak PPA2B-66L-208-1 Power Prep Advanced 66"W Sink System

Power Soak (a brand of Unified Brands, acquired by Electrolux Professional Group from Dover in late 2021) has functioned as the premier global authority in continuous motion warewashing and automated prep technology for over 30 years. Headquartered in Conyers, Georgia, with manufacturing in Vicksburg, Mississippi, the brand serves as a primary infrastructure provider for high-volume quick-service restaurants, hospital galleys, and industrial catering operations. Power Soak defines itself through the "Science of Scouring" philosophy—a commitment to replacing the labor-intensive three-compartment sink with a high-velocity, ergonomic system that utilizes the natural kinetic energy of water to sanitize and clean.

The brand's technical identity is anchored in Continuous Motion Hydrodynamics and Aseptic Thermal Management. A primary engineering hallmark is the Parallel Wash System, which utilizes evenly spaced jets along the back of the tank to force water into a rolling "wave" motion. Unlike traditional spray-type washers, this system creates a constant, low-pressure rotation of wares (pots, pans, and even sheet pans) that maximizes the contact time between detergent and soil. This allows for the removal of stubborn, baked-on carbon without the need for manual scrubbing, significantly reducing labor requirements and worker fatigue.

Technical Hallmarks & Innovation

Innovation at Power Soak is concentrated on "Acoustic and Structural Optimization" and the digitization of sanitation protocols, moving the wash sink from a passive basin to an active, sensor-driven asset.

• Advanced Wash Insert (AWI): A patented technical pillar consisting of Ultra-High Molecular Weight (UHMW) plastic flow guides. These inserts create an optimally curved inner lining for the tank, reducing noise volume by up to 80% and preventing "pan migration" (where items get stuck or clatter). This system ensures that even delicate wares rotate at maximum velocity without mechanical damage.
• Intelligent Control Logic (PS-225): The brand’s most advanced control platform. It utilizes a suite of solid-state sensors to monitor water temperature, soap concentration, and water levels. A critical feature is the Forced Water Change algorithm, which halts operation every 4 hours (or at custom intervals) to ensure the system remains within HACCP sanitation compliance.
• LED Status Messaging: To solve the problem of noisy kitchen environments, Power Soak utilizes indirect LED lighting cast onto the floor. Blue, green, and red lights indicate system readiness, cycle status, or the need for a water change, allowing managers to monitor compliance from across the room without audible alarms.
• Power Prep™ Antimicrobial Flow: A specialized engineering application for produce and proteins. It utilizes a free-flowing wash action to dislodge debris and bacteria from leafy greens or to rapidly thaw frozen proteins, maintaining a constant temperature to prevent the growth of pathogens during the process.

Strategic Product Architecture

The Power Soak portfolio is strategically categorized by the "Complexity of the Workflow":

• Intro Series (Value Entry): Pre-configured 3-bay systems designed for smaller kitchens. These provide the core Parallel Wash technology at an economical price point, specifically targeted at replacing traditional manual sinks in boutique environments.
• Advanced Series (High-Velocity): Featuring standard tank heating and PS-200 intelligent controls. These units include specialized hooks for sheet pan racks, allowing up to 15 full-size sheet pans to be washed simultaneously in a vertical orientation.
• Unlimited Series (Custom Integration): Fully customizable layouts (L-shaped, U-shaped, or linear) tailored to specific facility dimensions. These units often integrate Silver Soak (silverware) and Skewer Soak (rotisserie) modules into a single, seamless workstation.
• Specialty Prep Systems: Including the Power Prep line, which is calibrated for "Soil-to-Shelf" produce washing, achieving a 99% reduction in surface bacteria without the use of harsh chemical washes.

The strategic value of Power Soak lies in its "Labor-to-Utility ROI." By producing equipment that allows a single operator to do the work of three manual washers—while using 30% less water and energy than a standard 3-compartment sink—the brand provides a high-reliability foundation for businesses where staff retention and utility costs are critical stressors. Supported by Electrolux Professional’s global distribution and a reputation for "indestructible" 14-gauge stainless steel construction, Power Soak remains the foundational choice for operators who view warewashing as a mission-critical link in the food safety chain.
