Vikan Nylon Blade – Scratch-Safe Scraper for Food Manufacturing
The Vikan Nylon Blade is a durable, hygienic alternative to a stainless-steel scraper blade, designed for use on sensitive surfaces and food-processing equipment where preventing scratches and surface damage is important.
Ideal for food and beverage manufacturing, this hard-wearing nylon blade is effective for loosening and removing stubborn, dried-on residues including pastry, chocolate, burnt-on food and ingredients from smooth surfaces.
The nylon construction provides effective scraping performance while helping to protect sensitive equipment and conveyor belts from scratching. This makes it a practical choice for hygiene-critical production environments where maintaining equipment condition and effective cleaning procedures are essential.
The blade can also withstand high temperatures when used intermittently for periods of no more than 2 minutes at a time.
Its hygienic design and availability within Vikan's colour-coded cleaning system can support visual segregation and good hygiene practices within food production facilities.
Supports HACCP-based hygiene procedures – Can form part of a controlled cleaning system designed to reduce contamination risks.
Effective cleaning is a key component of a HACCP-based food safety system. Selecting the appropriate scraper for each surface can help manufacturers achieve effective soil removal while reducing unnecessary damage to food-processing equipment.
The Vikan Nylon Blade provides a metal-free scraping option for sensitive surfaces, making it particularly useful where stainless steel blades could potentially scratch or damage equipment.
Combined with appropriate cleaning procedures, colour-coded tools and routine inspection and replacement controls, the blade can contribute to a structured hygiene programme designed to support food safety, contamination prevention, and audit readiness.

Stainless steel scrapers can provide excellent scraping performance, but they are not always appropriate for delicate or scratch-sensitive surfaces. A nylon scraper blade offers an alternative where protecting equipment surfaces is a priority.
The Vikan Nylon Blade is particularly useful for removing stubborn food residues from smooth surfaces without relying on a harder metal edge, helping manufacturers balance effective cleaning with equipment protection.
The Vikan Nylon Blade is designed for scraping and loosening stubborn dirt and food residues, including pastry, chocolate and burnt-on food, from smooth and sensitive surfaces.
Yes. It is designed for professional cleaning applications in the food and beverage industry, including hygiene-critical food-processing environments.
Yes. The nylon blade is particularly suitable for sensitive surfaces such as conveyor belts and food-processing equipment where avoiding scratches is important.
For scratch-sensitive surfaces, nylon can be a useful alternative to stainless steel because it is less likely to cause the type of surface damage associated with harder metal blades. The correct scraper should always be selected according to the surface and cleaning requirement.
Yes. The blade can withstand temperatures up to 347°F / 175°C for food and non-food contact applications. When used on hot surfaces, use should be limited to intervals of no more than 2 minutes at a time.
The maximum cleaning temperature specified is 199.4°F / 93°C.
The recommended sterilisation temperature is 249.8°F / 121°C.
Yes. Vikan's colour-coded cleaning system can help manufacturers segregate cleaning equipment between production areas and support hygiene management and cross-contamination controls.
It can be incorporated into a HACCP-based cleaning and hygiene programme as part of the appropriate cleaning equipment for the surface and application. HACCP compliance depends on the complete food safety system, procedures and controls implemented by the food business.
