Condensation squeegee 7716 - 400mm rubber - Vikan

Condensation squeegee 7716 - 400mm rubber - Vikan

Allows condensation to be removed from ceilings , ducts and pipes in production units. Can be used with a water passage handle (telescopic or fixed). Condensation is collected in the 1100 bottle or drained to the floor and drains using the 9441 hose.

How it works & benefits:

• The rubber (thermoplastic elastomer) blade is non-porous, flexible, and easy to clean, reducing the risk of particle retention.
• The integrated drainage system allows condensate to be directed to a bottle or pipe, for optimal sanitary control.
• Compatible with water-passing handles: this allows, during use, water to be injected through the handle to rinse or dilute the condensates towards the drain.
• The “hygienic” design allows easy disassembly of the blades for cleaning or replacement.
• Resistant to production conditions, can be used in environments where condensation is frequent (cold areas, tunnels, process rooms, etc.).

Recommended applications:

• Food industry environments (factories, process rooms).
• Laboratories and pharmaceutical industries.
• Industrial kitchens, processing sites.
• Production areas with pipes, ducts or refrigerated surfaces.
• Areas requiring regular maintenance of ceilings or infrastructure exposed to condensation.

Instructions for use & maintenance:

• Attachment: Mount the squeegee on a handle compatible with water passage.
• Flow direction: Orient the blade so that the drops follow the desired path (towards the bottle or pipe).
• Rinsing: Use light water pressure via the handle during use to aid flow and prevent clogging.
• Periodic cleaning: Disassemble the blades if necessary, clean them with a suitable detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
• Blade Replacement: When it shows signs of wear (cracking, loss of elasticity), replace the blade to maintain efficiency.
• Storage: Store in a dry place at room temperature, away from prolonged UV rays.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is a condensation squeegee used for?
   It is used to remove condensation that forms on ceilings, ducts or pipes during production phases, in order to avoid unwanted drops or moisture deposits.
2. What is the difference between this 7716 and the “77163” version (or other code)? The number (e.g. 77163) may indicate the color code (blue in this case) or a variant. The 7716 version is the basic model (400 mm) with a rubber blade, available according to the color codes.
3. What handle can it be used with?
   It is used with a fixed or telescopic water passage handle (e.g. Vikan 2973Q or 2991Q models) to allow suction and rinsing during use.
4. Can condensation water be recovered?
5. Yes, the squeegee is equipped with a drainage system that allows water to be directed to a recovery bottle or to a drainage pipe (e.g. pipe 9441) depending on the user's installation.
6. Is it easy to clean/maintain?
   Yes. The blade is removable, making cleaning easier. The materials are compatible with cleaning temperatures (up to ≈ 93 °C) and are resistant to drying up to ≈ 120 °C.
7. How long does the rubber blade last?
   This depends on the frequency of use, the chemicals used, and the operating conditions. Under normal use, the blade can be replaced when it becomes less effective.
8. Is there a version wider than 400mm?
   Yes, Vikan offers different sizes for other needs (but this depends on the catalog). For larger surfaces, other models may be available.
9. What precautions should be taken for installation?
   Ensure that the contact perimeter is properly sealed, check that the recovery pipe or bottle is correctly positioned, avoid sharp angles in the discharge pipe.
10. Is the raclette suitable for food areas?
    Yes, if used according to best practices, as the blade is made of TPE (non-porous), and the entire assembly is designed to be hygienic. However, check the specific certifications for your sector.
11. Are there any compatible accessories?
    Yes, including water-passing handles, drainage hoses, recovery bottles, replacement blades.
