The temp should make stripping emulsion go real fast, probably a little too fast for most. I know that reclaiming with warm water is much faster so logically so would warm solution.
A bigger benefit for many may be using the heater to keep the tank solution at a stable temp all year, like 60 or 70 deg for instance. I know I may be using a heating wrap on my tanks soon when we move them to our new, more spacious shop, just so I don't have to keep the entire washout area heated overnight in the colder months. I think letting the temp of the chem jump up and down would probably shorten it's life.
I was a dip tank skeptic but have found the benefits to be great in the end. We use Franmar One-step but only as an emulsion stripper, not a true one-step ink/emulsion remover and then another tank with plain water for resolving screens. One tank is Easiway, one Blackline and I probably like the Blackline better since it's lower to the ground and less of a big lift to get the screens out. I am glad that we have tanks that are visually distinct though, I can't imagine how many times we would have dunked a freshly exposed screen in the wrong one by accident as we keep them side by side.
Last two bits of advice: build a rack for the base and walls so the tank doesn't bulge out and lid fits proper, keeping evaporation down and put casters on the bottom of that rack, these effers are heavy when full.
Happy Friday.
