ICEBERG is a robust floor nozzle designed for continuous vacuuming of floor surfaces in production environments with high hygiene requirements. The body is manufactured in stainless steel, while the silicone lip — the material in direct contact with the floor surface — complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 (Wacker R 4001 80) and BfR Recommendation XV. Adjustable wheels ensure correct and even working height. The steel connector version connects via quick-fit to double-bend floor wands in stainless steel.

Application areas

ICEBERG is designed for continuous floor vacuuming in GMP-regulated production facilities. Typical industries:

  • Pharmaceutical production — GMP facilities and cleanrooms
  • Food production — floor cleaning under strict hygiene requirements
  • Beverage and dairy industry
  • Cosmetics and personal care product manufacturing
Material compliance: The silicone lip is manufactured in Wacker R 4001 80, which complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and BfR Recommendation XV. The stainless steel structural part is material-compatible with food and pharmaceutical environments. It is the user’s responsibility to verify suitability for the specific environment and the materials the product comes into contact with.

Connection: Quick-fit steel connector

The ICEBERG steel connector version has a fixed coupling that clicks directly into double-bend floor wands with quick-fit coupling. For Food/Pharma use, floor wands in stainless steel AISI 304 are recommended for full material compatibility in GMP-regulated environments.

Steel connector Quick-fit

Fixed coupling — the wand is pressed in and locks with a click. No loose parts. Compatible with double-bend floor wands in stainless steel AISI 304 with quick-fit coupling (wands R65081G, R65082G, R65148XG, R65067XG).

Prefer swivel? Alternative

The swivel connector version offers 360° rotation freedom and is preferred for mobile systems and work over large areas with frequent directional changes. See ICEBERG swivel →

Silicone lip (N) – standard

Frequently asked questions

It is the silicone lip, manufactured in Wacker R 4001 80 silicone, that complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and BfR Recommendation XV. The silicone is the material in direct contact with the floor surface. The stainless steel structure is material-compatible with food and pharmaceutical environments but is not independently FDA-classified. It is the user’s responsibility to verify suitability for the specific application scenario.
A steel connector is preferred for fixed workstations and stationary systems with shorter hose runs — the connection is fast and secure with quick-fit. The swivel connector provides 360° rotation freedom and is best for mobile systems and work over large areas with frequent directional changes. See the ICEBERG swivel page for details.
The silicone lip withstands temperatures up to +200°C and is resistant to most chemical cleaning agents and steam. The stainless steel structure is equally chemically resistant. We recommend testing compatibility with specific cleaning products before use.
Yes — ICEBERG is available with an FDA NBR lip in blue, red, yellow, green and white for colour-coded hygiene zone management. Contact us for product codes and lead times on Colour Line versions.
