Swab head for flexible rod 5396 - 210mm medium diameter 140mm - Vikan

Multi-purpose swab head for cleaning pipes in dairies, breweries, fishing, aquaculture, etc.
Compatible with Vikan 53515 and 53525 flexible handles.

Advantages & benefits:

• Optimal contact and cleaning efficiency: the medium density of the fibers provides a good compromise between abrasiveness and softness, to clean effectively without damaging the internal surfaces of the pipes.
• Suitable for food environments: it is manufactured according to strict hygienic standards, suitable for food contact.
• Compatibility & modularity: it easily attaches to the flexible handles of the Vikan range, allowing you to reach hard-to-reach or long areas.
• Durability & robustness: the stainless steel frame guarantees resistance to corrosion, which is essential in humid conditions or in aggressive environments.
• Versatility of use: ideal for cleaning tubes in the food sector (dairies, breweries) but also for water circuits, sanitary conduits or aquaculture installations.

Recommendations for use:

• Assembly: Carefully screw or fit the swab head onto a suitable Vikan flexible handle (compatible Ø and thread).
• How to use: Gently insert into the pipe, then apply rotating/pivoting pressure to cause the fibers to brush the inner wall.
• Cleaning & rinsing: After use, rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry to avoid any build-up of residue.
• Replacement frequency: monitor fiber wear - when fibers are too far apart or sagging, replace the head to maintain efficiency.
• Storage: Store in a clean, dry place away from shock or chemical contamination.
