Vikan 4010 Screw-Thread Hand Scraper - 50mm Stainless Steel Blade

Ideal for removing hard-to-reach sticky deposits or burnt-on material . The blade's protective rounded corners prevent damage to surfaces. Features a threaded insert to fit all Vikan color-coded handles .

Main features:

• Blade width: 50 mm.
• Materials: stainless steel blade (inox), plastic support / structure (polypropylene).
• Rounded corners: the edges of the blade are rounded to minimize the risk of scratching sensitive surfaces (stainless steel, coatings, plastics).
• Integrated screw thread: allows all standard Vikan color-coded handles to be attached, extending reach while respecting the principles of hygienic tool separation.
• Flexible blade: promotes good adaptation to irregular surfaces and efficient contact without excessive force.

Benefits & Recommended Uses:

• Effective on stubborn dirt: removes dry, sticky, burnt-on residues that are often resistant to cleaners alone.
• Surface protection: The blade has no sharp edges, reducing the risk of damaging sensitive surfaces.
• Modularity by handle: thanks to the screw thread, a long handle from the Vikan range (with color codes) can be adapted, which increases comfort and reach without compromising hygiene.
• Versatile: can be used on equipment, worktops, hotplates, ovens, but also partially for the floor if necessary (in areas with little dirt).
• Optimized hygiene: designed to be cleanable, compatible with high temperature ranges and meeting the hygiene criteria required for food environments.

Instructions for use & maintenance:

• Attach the blade to the handle via the Vikan screw thread for extra grip or extension as needed.
• Apply moderate pressure, scraping in the right direction, to remove residue without forcing.
• After use, rinse the tool with lukewarm water or a suitable cleaner, then dry it carefully to avoid water marks on the stainless steel blade.
• Inspect the blade regularly: if it shows areas of wear or deformation, replace it to ensure effective scraping.
• Storage: Keep the tool in a clean, dry area away from harsh products.
