FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Choosing the right flooring system for a food and beverage facility can pay dividends in creating a hygienic, safe and productive environment. Here, Michelle Mendes, market manager for Flowcrete, explains some of the key factors to consider.
The correct floor finish is instrumental in many areas of a food and beverage production facility. It is key in preventing produce from being contaminated, delivering a slippery and unsafe surface and reducing the need for frequent repairs or even complete refurbishment.
Flowcrete has developed a range of hygienic flooring solutions tailored to optimise food and drink manufacturing environments, making sure produce is protected from the ground up. These include Flowfresh, a high-performance resin system designed to deliver a durable, ultra-hygienic floor for even the most challenging food production and processing facilities.
Flowchem is another trusted system, which provides a robust corrosion protection resin coating capable of meeting the toughest chemical and temperature exposure requirements, such as those in distilleries and bakeries.
Flowcrete’s flooring experts are well versed on the specific needs of the food and drink industry and can advise on
the solutions that will best shield a site from bacteria and contaminant build-up.
FLOORS DELIVERING VALUE Making the right flooring choice not only improves food and employee safety standards but it also gives producers and their customers the peace of mind and reassurance that all products are being made in a clean, modern and high-quality space.
Few sectors are as aware of the dangers of unhygienic environments as the food and beverage industry. If businesses in this market don’t meet a high standard of sanitation then it could lead to issues ranging from non- compliance with regulations, reputation damage, loss of business and even civil or criminal litigation.
The severe consequences mean food and beverage producers need to understand the role each part of a facility plays in maintaining a clean and effective working space.
