Advantages / strengths:

• Flexible yet robust design: when mounted on a flexible rod, it allows you to penetrate curves or conduits without risking breaking the tool.
• Intermediate density (medium): offers a good compromise between mechanical action and softness, suitable for sensitive surfaces but requiring a certain friction power.
• Complies with hygiene standards: materials suitable for food contact, resistant to high temperatures, compatible with HACCP processes.
• Color coding: helps prevent cross-contamination in multi-line installations.
• Wide range of use: wide pH supports and high temperatures to adapt to many cleaning and disinfection processes.
• Typical applications:
• Internal cleaning of pipes in the food industry, breweries, and dairy industries.
• Aquaculture / fish farming sector.
• Food processing and processing.
• Hygienic maintenance in closed systems.

Installation & usage instructions:

• Choose the color according to your internal code (green, red, etc.).
• Insert or screw the swab head onto the flexible shaft (Vikan type 53515 or 53525).
