7041 Water-Through Deck Washer - 270mm Extra Hard - Vikan

7041 Water-Through Deck Washer - 270mm Extra Hard - Vikan

Short bristle scrubbing brush for cleaning walls and floors. Allows efficient water diffusion .

Advantages & strengths:

• Powerful cleaning: the very hard bristles help remove encrusted dirt, organic residue, dried grease, etc.
• Integrated water distribution: allows for simultaneous mechanical cleaning + rinsing (or water supply) to improve washing efficiency.
• Robustness and durability: materials designed for intensive use, solid assembly, low water absorption.
• Controlled hygiene: compatible with HACCP standards thanks to its colors and its ability to be rinsed/sterilized.
• Versatility: adapts to different threaded handles (euro thread system), which allows it to be used in many contexts.
• Time saving: combining water passage + brushing reduces the number of passages required compared to “dry” brushing followed by a separate rinse.

Conditions of use / instructions for use

• Assembly: Screw onto a threaded euro handle (sold separately).
• Water supply: ensure correct connection to ensure even water flow to the head.
• Cleaning method: Pass the brush in a back and forth motion, pressing moderately so that the bristles penetrate the layer of dirt, while allowing the water to act.
• Maintenance frequency: rinse thoroughly after use to remove residue (prevent it from drying between the bristles).
• Replacement: Check bristle wear – when performance declines, consider replacing the head.
• Limited usage conditions: although robust, avoid extreme mechanical stress or violent shocks which could damage the head.

Typical applications:

• Cutting workshops, slaughterhouses, food processing plants.
• Processing areas requiring frequent cleaning.
• Heavily soiled floors (grease, food residue, stubborn dirt).
• Premises subject to strict hygiene constraints (e.g. clean room, sterile areas).

Precautions & limitations:

• Do not use on fragile or scratch-sensitive surfaces (very hard bristles may damage certain finishes).
• Check that the water pressure is not excessive, to avoid unwanted splashes or splashes.
• If the model used is sterilizable (autoclavable), comply with the temperature thresholds indicated (e.g. ≈ 121°C) to avoid damaging the head.
• Store away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources to preserve plastic materials.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the purpose of the “water passage” in this type of deck washer?
   The “water passage” allows water to pass through the head during brushing. This combines mechanical cleaning and simultaneous watering to improve rinsing efficiency and reduce back and forth movements.
2. Can this deck cleaner be used on delicate surfaces, such as smooth tiles or marble?
   No, this model with very hard bristles is recommended for rough or heavily soiled surfaces. On delicate surfaces, you risk scratches. For more sensitive floors, choose a model with "medium" or "soft" fibers.
3. Up to what temperature can this deck washer be sterilized or cleaned?
   The head tolerates autoclave cycles up to 121°C. In dishwashers, the limit is approximately 93°C.
4. Is it compatible with any handle?
   It is compatible with Vikan threaded handles (euro thread). If you have a handle from another brand, you will need to check the threading system.
5. Can it be colored according to HACCP zones to avoid cross-contamination?
   Yes, this model is available in different colors (green, blue, red, white, yellow, orange) so that it can be assigned to specific areas and avoid confusion.
6. What is the head diameter / useful brushing width?
   The width of the head is approximately 75 mm, which is the useful brushing width.
7. How do I know when the head needs to be replaced?
   When the bristles become blunt, noticeably spaced apart, or cleaning efficiency drops despite good water flow, it's time to replace the head.
8. Does the product comply with food standards?
   Yes - it is designed to meet food contact standards (EC 1935/2004) and FDA approved (CFR 21) for use in food environments.
