Articulated Rub 7040 - 225mm Very Hard - Vikan

Articulated Rub 7040 - 225mm Very Hard - Vikan

Effective between and under machinery and equipment with this tilting articulating scrubber that can be used with the handle parallel to the floor. The pointed bristles can penetrate tight joints and gaps. The longer row of bristles is made of tougher bristles for extra scrubbing power .

Areas of application & usage tips:

• In food environments (bakeries, dairies, food processing plants, etc.) where cleaning between equipment is critical.
• For areas where space is very limited: the articulated mechanism is an asset.
• It is recommended to use this scrubber with compatible threaded handles (Vikan or equivalent) to ensure stability.
• To extend the lifespan:
  Rinse immediately after use to avoid residue buildup.
  Do not use with incompatible solvents or at extreme pH outside the recommended range.
  Do not continuously expose to extreme temperatures beyond specifications.

Differentiating points:

• Compared to a classic scrubber, the articulation is a big plus for hidden areas.
• The combination of “pointed fibers + hard fibers in the center” offers a good compromise between penetration and abrasion.
• Design that meets hygiene standards - a reassuring element for professionals (food safety, compliance).
• Availability of colors for hygiene code (avoids cross-contamination).
• Longevity in an industrial environment - a good return on investment.

Colors:

• Green: V7040/2
• Blue: V7040/3
• Red: V7040/4
• White: V7040/5
• Yellow: V7040/6

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between “hard” and “very hard”?
   The “very hard” model uses stiffer (more abrasive) fibers for heavily soiled or difficult-to-clean surfaces, while the “hard” model is a compromise between aggressive and gentle cleaning.
2. Is this scrubber suitable for a food industry environment?
   Yes - the materials comply with EC 1935/2004 for contact with foodstuffs, are FDA approved, and the model complies with REACH regulations.
3. Can this scrubber be used in an autoclave?
   Yes, it is designed to withstand temperatures up to 121°C in an autoclave.
4. What chemicals/pH are compatible?
   The scrubber can be used in a pH range of 2 to 10.5 without deterioration.
5. How to choose the right color?
   The choice of color can be used to code areas (e.g. to avoid cross-contamination). Available in white, blue, red, green, yellow, black depending on the use.
6. What is the lifespan of the head?
   This depends on usage, frequency, and cleaning aggressiveness. It is recommended to replace the head as soon as the fibers are visibly worn to maintain performance.
7. Does the product come with a handle?
   No, the head is sold separately. You need a compatible threaded handle (Vikan standard) to use it.
8. Is this scrubber recyclable?
   The materials (polypropylene, stainless steel, polyester) are recyclable in the appropriate sectors.
