Pipe cleaner Vikan 50 cm, Ø 6 cm, red, polyester/PP/stainless steel, medium

The Vikan pipe cleaner 50 cm with a 6 cm diameter head is a medium-stiff cleaning tool designed for internal pipe and drain maintenance in food processing, commercial kitchens and industrial settings. The head combines polyester bristles mounted on a polypropylene backing with a stainless-steel core, giving a balance of flexibility and scrubbing power for dislodging debris, residue and light scale from pipe walls. The construction uses corrosion-resistant materials appropriate for wet environments and routine cleaning cycles.

Advantages

This pipe cleaner provides effective mechanical action with medium-stiff polyester bristles that remove buildup without overly abrading typical pipe materials. The stainless-steel core ensures durability and straightness during use, while the polypropylene backing secures the bristles and resists chemical exposure. The 50 cm length offers reach into runs of pipe and drains, and the 6 cm head diameter covers a useful range of internal pipe sizes. Materials were selected to withstand repeated contact with water and common cleaning agents.

Suitable for

• Cleaning internal surfaces of process pipes in food and beverage facilities
• Removing debris and residues from commercial kitchen drains and waste lines
• Maintenance of industrial plumbing and conduit susceptible to light scaling
• Routine rinsing and mechanical scrubbing where corrosion resistance is required

Key specifications

• Overall length: 50 cm
• Head diameter: 6 cm
• Bristle material: polyester
• Backing material: polypropylene
• Core: stainless steel
• Stiffness: medium

How to use

Insert the pipe cleaner head-first into the pipe or drain and advance while rotating or pushing to engage the bristles with the internal surface. Use steady pressure and repeat passes as required to dislodge deposits, then flush the line with water to remove loosened material. After cleaning, rinse the tool thoroughly and allow it to dry to reduce microbial growth and prolong service life. When working in food-processing or regulated environments, follow facility sanitation protocols and wear appropriate personal protective equipment.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair mechanical cleaning with an appropriate chemical cleaner or sanitizer suited to the pipe material and the type of residue. Inspect the pipe cleaner regularly for worn bristles or core damage and replace when performance declines to avoid contamination or reduced cleaning effectiveness.
