Food Safety Essential Tools – Vikan Scrapers

There’s various essential hygiene equipment available for businesses in the food production industry, including items like brushes, hoses, and mops. However, scrapers are sometimes overlooked because few people know about their key role in keeping the production system and processes clean and hygienic.

Vikan products are a great way to go. Their products are made from high-quality materials, meaning they’re safe to use with food and other consumables – see the Pescatech selection.

What are Scrapers Used for in the Food Industry?

As with other utensils, such as sponges or brushes, scrapers are used to clean all kinds of surfaces. Depending on the size and type purchased, each is designed with a specific task in mind.

For example, the Vikan Paddle Scraper Blade is perfect for scraping out food from buckets or other containers with rounded edges. It’s made from solid nylon, can handle medium levels of heat up to 121°C, and is made to fit any Vikan handle.

The Vikan Table and Floor Scraper, also made of nylon, is an all-purpose unit to remove sticky substances from conveyor belts, or any other flat surface. It can be used on surfaces with temperatures not exceeding 121°C or falling below -20°C.

How to Colour Code Your Food Processing Tools and Equipment 

Colour coding in the food industry can help to make sure that certain substances don’t mix. In turn, this prevents the contamination of consumables.

The best method to colour code is to separate each process into its own category, and choose a colour best suited to that part of the production line. For instance, a colour like red that usually signifies danger can be used for high risk areas. For example, at areas for the production of foods related to allergies or raw meat. On the other hand, a more natural shade like green is perfect for fresh vegetables.

Make it as easy as possible for workers to remember which utensils to use with each type of product to prevent confusion or the accidental mixing of ingredients.

With Vikan hygiene tools, including scrapers, brooms, and buckets, it’s easy to colour code each process accordingly.

Pescatech also stocks Vikan colour coding rubber bands. These make it possible to add any tool range to your collection, even if it only comes in one shade.
