• Do not use for fluids above 50°C or for food use without verification of specific certifications.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the 400mm squeegee suitable for all types of liquids?
   It is designed for use with water and oils, thanks in particular to its oil-resistant foam blade. However, for aggressive or very hot chemical liquids, compatibility should be checked.
2. Is it suitable for the agri-food industry?
   If your use is in a strict food context, it is best to check the food-certified version or request a dedicated model.
3. Can a standard, non-Vikan handle be used?
   The manufacturer states "compatible with all handles in the Vikan Transport range". Using a non-Vikan handle may work, but you will lose the guarantee of optimal compatibility.
4. What is the typical lifespan of a foam blade?
   The manufacturer does not specify a precise lifespan. This depends heavily on usage (frequency, type of liquid, abrasion, etc.). It is advisable to inspect the blade regularly and replace it when it shows signs of wear (deformation, fraying, reduced drainage efficiency).
5. Can it be used for liquids above 50°C?
   No, the maximum operating temperature indicated is 50°C.
6. What is the effective cleaning width of this squeegee?
   Thanks to its 400 mm blade, it effectively covers a medium width suitable for corridors, parking areas, laundries, transport, etc. For very large areas, a wider squeegee or automatic cleaning line may be considered.
7. Cleaning and maintenance recommendations?
   Rinse after use, remove oil residue or particles, store flat or suspended with blade protected, avoid placing heavy objects on the blade which could deform it.
