Swab 5370 - 500mm medium diameter 60mm - Vikan

Swab 5370 - 500mm medium diameter 60mm - Vikan

This swab effectively cleans bottles, pipes and hard-to-reach surfaces , such as the recesses and nooks on machines and conveyor belts.

Benefits & Uses:

• Effective cleaning in difficult areas The swab reaches hard-to-reach areas: inside tubes, ducts, hollow surfaces, machine sides or corners on conveyors.
• Balanced “medium” fibers Medium fibers offer a good compromise between aggressiveness and delicacy: rigid enough to scrub, without damaging sensitive surfaces.
• High temperature resistance & chemical resistance Can be used in industrial dishwashers or autoclaves (up to 121°C) and is resistant to pH values ranging from 2 to 10.5, making it suitable for demanding cleaning processes.
• Hygienic safety Complies with food standards and international regulations, with food contact compatible materials, making it a safe tool for the food industry.
• Color coding / cross-contamination prevention Available in several colors to separate areas of use (e.g., area near finished products, laundry area, waste area, etc.)

Instructions for use & maintenance:

• Insert the swab and then use a back and forth or rotating motion depending on the geometry of the tube or surface to be cleaned.
• Rinse with clean water after use to prevent residue from remaining between the fibers.
• Regularly check the condition of the fibers: when they are too worn or crushed, replace the tool.
• Store away from UV rays and at room temperature.
• Respect the recommended temperatures and pH to preserve the life of the tool.

2. What is the difference between “medium” and “hard”?
   “Medium” fibers are intermediate: firm enough to remove dirt without being too aggressive for sensitive surfaces. “Hard” fibers are suitable for stubborn dirt, but risk damaging delicate surfaces.
3. Can I use it in an autoclave or sterilization?
   Yes, this swab is designed to withstand up to 121°C in an autoclave.
4. Is it suitable for food or pharmaceutical applications?
   Yes - it complies with EC 1935/2004 regulations for food contact materials, and the materials are FDA approved (CFR 21).
5. How to choose the color?
   The color-coding system allows for differentiating areas of use (e.g., blue for zone A, red for zone B) to avoid cross-contamination. Several colors available: blue, white, red, green, yellow, etc. F
6. How long does the swab last?
   It depends on the frequency of use, the chemicals used, and how it is cleaned. You should monitor fiber degradation or crushing to decide whether to replace it.
7. Are there any pH or temperature constraints to be respected?
   Yes: Operating pH between 2 and 10.5 Vikan.com +2 Vikan.com +2; temperatures between –20°C and +80°C in normal use, and up to 121°C for sterilization/autoclave.
