Hygienic Design for Food Manufacturing

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.

HACCP, Colour Coding and Allergen Control

Colour coding can support:

  • HACCP-based hygiene controls 
  • Hygienic zoning 
  • Allergen segregation 
  • Separation of raw and finished-product areas 
  • Cross-contamination prevention procedures 
  • 5S workplace organisation 
  • Visual identification of equipment

Vikan specifically states that its colour-coded hygiene tools are used by food and beverage companies to support tool segregation and food safety.
