FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this shovel suitable for food contact?
   Yes, it is designed for food applications. It is commonly used in the food industry to handle liquids or ingredients.
2. Up to what temperature can it be used?
   It can withstand temperatures up to ~100°C. This allows it to be used with lukewarm liquids.
3. Is it compatible with an industrial dishwasher?
   It can be, but it depends on the temperature and pressure constraints of the dishwasher. It is best to ensure that the cleaning conditions do not exceed the tolerances of polypropylene.
4. Why are there two spouts?
   To allow easy pouring, whether the user is left or right handed, while minimizing splashing.
5. Can we measure very viscous liquids (syrup, paste, etc.)?
   Yes, but accuracy may vary depending on viscosity. It is best to check empirically. For very viscous liquids, rinse very quickly after use to avoid sticky residue.
6. Does the graduation marking fade over time?
   As with any marking, the line may wear off with intensive use or aggressive cleaning. It is recommended not to use harsh abrasives directly on the graduations.
7. Are there other volumes or models?
   Yes, model 5682 is a 2 liter graduated version.
8. Why are several colors offered?
   The colors allow for coding (by area, by use, to avoid cross-contamination), a common practice in HACCP environments.
