Introducing the NEW Vikan® UST Tank Brush

The innovative new Vikan UST Tank Brush was developed through extensive research and a deep understanding of the food processing industry's needs and challenges, directly reflecting their commitment to hygiene and safety. Engineered with Vikan’s patented Ultra Safe Technology (UST), this color-coded brush provides excellent bristle retention to minimize the risk of product contamination and costly recalls.

 

Superior bristle retention

Ultra Safe Technology features enhanced Bristle Security Units directly molded into the brush block, ensuring unprecedented bristle retention strength. Unlike traditional resin set or staple set tank brushes, UST bristles are individually molded, eliminating the risk of contamination.

  • It takes 52% more force to loosen a UST bristle than bristles on a traditional brush
  • If a bristle is pulled from its position, it doesn't affect the remaining bristles
  • Bristle fixation is 3x more consistent in UST brushes than in drilled and stapled ones

Hygienic design

The tank brush features a seamless design that eliminates cracks, crevices, and sharp internal angles. Featuring a purpose-designed, efficiency-boosting bristle pattern to minimize the risk of bacteria accumulation, making it an ideal brush for cleaning tanks in dairies, breweries, wineries, and other food processing facilities.

Its smooth surface, along with two drainage holes, facilitates easy cleaning and complies with hygienic design requirements set by GFSI-benchmarked standards, FDA regulations 21 CFR, and EU 10/2011 standards.

 

Color-coding

Available in eight colors, this tank brush is easy to integrate into any color-coding program to prevent bacterial and allergen cross-contamination within a food processing facility or between different food processing applications.

Color-Coded Training & Site Assessment

Recognize and address possible hygiene and sanitation challenges based on the cleaning and material handling equipment available in your facility.

Through a discovery call, virtual, or on-site assessment, Vikan SQF Practitioner certified specialists will assist in confirming that your system and cleaning tool inventory aligns with your risk management objectives while pinpointing any missing tools and enhancing maintenance and usage practices. Evaluate whether your existing tools are utilized in the most effective manner, or determine if a more suitable tool exists for the task at hand. Ensure that your tools comply with all relevant standards and regulatory requirements. Site evaluations encompass a summary survey, an overview of the location, a color-coded factory layout plan, product suggestions, a recommended order form, and a proposal for a follow-up survey.
