Squeegee 7150 - 500mm single blade - Vikan

Squeegee 7150 - 500mm single blade - Vikan

A very soft and effective rubber edge that 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 edge conforms to surfaces and collects liquids even on uneven surfaces.
• Reach hard-to-reach areas: The angled edge makes cleaning close to walls, around machines and baseboards easier and more thorough.
• Hygiene & Safety: Single-piece construction with no recessed areas, which limits retention areas. Ideal for HACCP or strict hygiene protocols.
• Color coding: Several colors available (green, blue, red, white, yellow) to distinguish areas or prevent cross-contamination according to your internal procedures.
• Chemical & thermal robustness: Resists common cleaning agents as well as high temperatures (up to 93°C when washing, 120°C when drying).
• No harmful additives: Designed without PFAS, phthalates or BPA (according to some product sheets of similar squeegees in the Vikan range).
• Versatile use: Perfect for floors, wet areas, washing areas, storage areas, industrial kitchens, etc.

Instructions for use & recommendations:

• Attach the squeegee to a compatible threaded handle (Vikan or other with a suitable thread).
• Scrape in the direction of water flow towards the drain, maintaining moderate pressure to avoid deforming the blade.
• When cleaning walls or baseboards, use the angled edge to move up vertically.
• After use, rinse thoroughly, disinfect according to your protocols and allow to dry.
• Check the condition of the blade regularly: if it shows irregularities or excessive wear, replace it to ensure efficiency.
• Do not use at temperatures below –20°C. Store in a clean, dry place away from excessive heat and direct light.

  Food industry (industrial kitchens, food production areas).
  Collective catering / professional catering.
  Food / pharmaceutical laboratories.
  Hospitals, clinics, medical laboratories.
  Chemical or cosmetic industries requiring continuously cleanable surfaces.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this squeegee suitable for food use/industrial kitchens?
   Yes. It is made with materials that comply with food contact standards (EC 1935/2004, FDA) and meets HACCP requirements.
2. Can it be put in the dishwasher/sterilized?
   Yes, it's dishwasher safe up to 93°C. For sterilization, it can be autoclaved up to 121°C.
3. Up to what temperature can I use it?
   In normal use, up to 100°C (50°C in case of food contact). Below that, it can withstand temperatures down to –20°C.
4. Why are there multiple colors available?
   To facilitate hygienic coding (separate areas according to use), and to avoid cross-contamination in the facilities.
5. What type of handle should I use?
   A compatible threaded handle (often standard thread) is required, but not supplied. Check that the thread on the handle matches the squeegee's attachment.
6. How to maintain/clean the squeegee?
   Rinse after each use, disinfect according to protocol, check the edge for wear; replace the squeegee if the edge no longer removes water properly. Do not store it in extreme or humid conditions for prolonged periods.
7. What is the expected lifespan?
   It depends on usage, maintenance, and the products used. But thanks to its robust materials and chemical resistance, it offers a longer lifespan than basic squeegees.
8. Does this squeegee contain metal or parts that are difficult to clean?
   No. It is designed as a single piece with no metal components, which minimizes the pits or nooks where residue could accumulate.
9. Can I use it on vertical surfaces?
   Yes, thanks to its flexible and inclined edge, it is able to work on baseboards or vertical areas.
10. What to do if the edge is damaged or worn?
    Replace the squeegee. A damaged edge reduces wiping efficiency, leaves streaks, and can compromise hygiene.
