56773
The Vikan 56773 Hand Scoop, 0.5 Litre, Blue is a lightweight, durable and hygienically designed scoop for food manufacturing, food processing, ingredient handling, catering and food service environments.
Manufactured from polypropylene with a smooth, one-piece construction, the Vikan 56773 is designed to make cleaning easier while minimising areas where food residue and bacteria can accumulate. Its flat sides and base also allow operators to scrape ingredients efficiently from storage bins and containers.
The blue colour provides an effective option for colour-coded hygiene zoning, allergen segregation and HACCP-based food safety procedures, when used as part of your site's documented colour-coding system.
Ideal for the food and beverage industry, providing an impressive colour coded range with hygienic design for easy cleaning.
The Vikan 56773 has been designed specifically for environments where food hygiene and food safety are critical. Its moulded, one-piece construction removes unnecessary joins that could provide potential locations for food residue to collect.
The smooth polypropylene surface is designed to facilitate effective cleaning and maintenance. Vikan also specifies the scoop for use with a range of materials including fine powders, grains, wet ingredients and ice.
For food manufacturers, this makes the scoop particularly useful where utensils need to be routinely cleaned, inspected, segregated and stored as part of a documented hygiene programme.
The blue Vikan 56773 can be incorporated into a site's colour-coded utensil system to help separate equipment between production areas, processes or materials.
