Cylindrical brush 5380-63 - diameter 63mm hard - Vikan

Cylindrical brush 5380-63 - diameter 63mm hard - Vikan

Fits all handles in the VIKAN range. Effective for cleaning various types of pipes.

Benefits & Recommended Uses:

• Targeted cleaning in ducts: its cylindrical shape allows you to reach the inside of hard-to-reach pipes and ducts.
• Effective on stubborn dirt: the hard fibers allow you to scrape and loosen encrusted deposits.
• Industrial/food compatibility: materials suitable for food contact, high temperature cleaning, chemical resistance suitable for cleaning products.
• Color traceability / zone separation: the possibility of choosing different colors allows the tool to be assigned to distinct zones, useful in hygiene (e.g. production line, “dirty / clean” zones).
• Durability / Sterilization: Withstands strict cleaning cycles, including autoclave at 121°C.

Directions for use:

Choose the appropriate color for each area to avoid cross-contamination.

Mount the brush on a compatible (threaded) Vikan handle.

Insert the brush into the duct to be cleaned, making back and forth movements to scrub the interior walls.

Rinse thoroughly after use.

Clean the brush regularly (temperature ≤ 93°C in dishwasher, or sterilization at 121°C) as needed.

Check the condition of the fibers: replace the brush as soon as they are too worn or deformed to maintain efficiency.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this brush suitable for food applications?
   Yes - the brush complies with EU Regulation 10/2011 for plastics in contact with food, as well as other relevant standards (REACH, FDA, EU 1935/2004).
2. Up to what temperature can it be sterilized?
   It is autoclavable up to 121°C. For dishwasher cleaning, the maximum tolerated temperature is 93°C.
3. What is the compatibility with Vikan handles?
   It is compatible with all handles in the Vikan range thanks to a standard thread.
4. What diameter/size pipes can I clean with this brush?
   The brush has a diameter of 63 mm, making it a good choice for pipes with an internal diameter slightly larger than 63 mm. It is ideal for large diameter pipes or internal cylindrical sections.
5. Why choose “hard” fibers?
   Hard fibers are recommended for stubborn deposits, crusts, sticky or greasy residues. They exert a more abrasive action than soft fibers while remaining compatible with hard surfaces.
6. Does the brush cause scratches or damage internal surfaces?
   It is designed for internal cleaning, but like any industrial brush, you must check its compatibility with the pipe wall material (stainless steel, plastic, etc.). For sensitive surfaces, you can start by testing on a non-critical portion.
7. How to maintain this brush to extend its lifespan?
   Rinse immediately after use to prevent residue from drying. Wash in the dishwasher or autoclave according to the recommended protocols. Regularly check the condition of the fibers (wear, spacing). Store in a clean, dry environment away from aggressive, incompatible solvents.
8. Can I order a specific color?
   Yes, this model is available in several colors (green, blue, red, white, yellow) to allow you to comply with hygiene regulations.
9. How long does this brush last?
   The duration will depend on the conditions of use (frequency, aggressiveness of cleaning products, types of surfaces). It is recommended to replace the brush as soon as the fibers show significant wear or a loss of cleaning performance.
