Squeegee 7160 - 600mm Monoblade - Vikan

The highly flexible and effective rubber edge of the ultra-hygienic single-blade squeegee guarantees perfect cleaning of floors and other surfaces. The angled edge makes it easier to clean the bottom of walls , baseboards and around equipment.

Strengths & advantages :

• Cleaning efficiency: the very soft rubber blade ensures optimal contact with surfaces, allowing water and residue to be removed effectively even on uneven floors.
• Access to difficult areas: thanks to its sloping edge, it easily passes along the bottom of walls, along baseboards and around installations.
• Maximum hygiene: single-piece design (no metal fasteners or removable parts), reduction of nooks where dirt or microorganisms could accumulate.
• Versatility and food safety: materials comply with food industry requirements, increased safety against cross-contamination (with choice of color coding)
• Durability & ease of maintenance: rigid support, resistant blade, ability to withstand frequent washing up to high temperatures.

Recommended use:

• For drying and draining water from floors, floor surfaces, washing areas, etc.
• Suitable for environments requiring high hygiene standards (food industry, professional kitchens, laboratories).
• Combine with compatible Vikan handles (e.g. Vikan range handles) for a complete cleaning solution.
• It is advisable to respect the maximum temperatures indicated to prolong the life of the blade.

Practical advice:

• Color Choice: Depending on your facility's policy, use color coding to avoid cross-contamination (e.g., yellow for kitchen, red for raw areas, etc.).
• Replacement frequency: replace the squeegee as soon as the blade shows signs of wear (scratches, loss of flexibility), to ensure optimal performance.
• Cleaning: prefer a wash cycle below 93°C, do not exceed 120°C when drying.
• Storage: Store the raclette in a clean place, away from direct heat sources or aggressive chemical substances.
