Common questions about Food & Beverage flooring.
Requirements for industrial floors in food processing facilities are high because of hot washdowns, steam, sugar, milk, fruit acids, fats, oils, cleaners and constant movement of people and machinery. Regular paints may be unable to endure these conditions for a prolonged period of time.
High temperatures caused by hot water and steam may cause frequent temperature fluctuations. Inappropriate thin layers may be susceptible to cracking, blistering and debonding because of inability of the floor to withstand such processes. Floor material for hot washdown areas must be chosen according to the temperature and cleaning process.
Floorings will come into contact with milk products, fruit acids, oils, fats and sugars. The chosen floor system must have sufficient chemical resistance to the substances present in each room.
Incorrect floor gradients, damaged drains, and uneven surfaces can cause water and food residues to accumulate.
Water, grease, and food waste can make a floor surface slippery. The flooring needs to have sufficient surface texture to allow the hygiene personnel to clean the surface efficiently.
Epoxy coving is done at the areas where there must be a round joint between the floor and the walls. This The best flooring solution in food processing plants will depend on the temperature, exposure to chemicals, humidity levels, and traffic in different zones. One type of flooring solution may not be applicable to all zones within a facility.
The floorings made from polyurethane, such as PU concrete screeds, could frequently be recommended for application in the wet processes rooms with high temperature and thermal fluctuations. It is crucial to select proper flooring material according to the particular situation in the facility.
Ideal applications include:
Commercial kitchens and breweriesprevents the formation of corners where dirt and other materials can collect.
Uses of epoxy coving:
Epoxy wall coatings that are washable may be considered to ensure that the walls have a coating that is durable and capable of being washed easily.
Areas where these coatings can be used include:
HACCP stands for the hazard analysis critical control points. HACCP is a food safety management process involving the identification and control of food production hazards.
Flooring suitable for HACCP-based facilities are those floorings that have been selected and laid to suit the requirements of the food safety. The floorings should be able to withstand the conditions in the facility as well as the chemicals that will be used there.
The following should be considered when selecting the floorings namely material, finish, joints, coving and drainage system. Moreover, the finish of the flooring should ensure that the degree of slip resistance is attained without interfering with the cleaning process.
HACCP is neither a type of flooring material nor a universal approval of a flooring system. Whether the flooring is HACCP compliant or not must be determined from the use and the HACCP plan of the facility.
There are different products that get spilled and cleaned on different types of food floors. It is best to choose the floor type depending on the conditions in the particular room.
In meat and seafood processing rooms, there will be exposure to blood, fats, oils, moisture, and wash-down. It is necessary to have proper resistance to chemicals, slippage and drainage. There should be a proper surface texture and coving depending on the cleaning procedure in the particular plant.
Commercial kitchens deal with hot oil, grease, steam, spills and frequent cleaning. Proper resin flooring along with proper detailing of coving will help in cleaning and working. There should be proper anti-slip texture according to the amount of moisture and grease.
Dairy plant flooring needs to handle wet traffic frequently, dairy residues, lactic acid exposure and also hot cleaning-in-place (CIP) water. There should be proper flooring system based on the cleaning temperature and chemical concentrations.
The flooring in beverage plants may come into contact with sugar, syrup, cleaning agents, glass shards, and wet bottling processes. The flooring must withstand frequent cleaning and proper resistance to the compounds used in the process.
Flour dust, oils, movement of trolleys, and the heat generated near the oven can affect the floors of the bakery. The floor needs to be made according to the heat, the method of cleaning, and the traffic of machinery.
The brewery floor will come into contact with hot water, chemicals that can cause corrosion, water, and dampness.It is necessary that the selected floors should match the temperature and concentration requirements.
Flooring for food manufacturing that has an anti-slip quality reduces slip hazards in places where there is exposure to water, oil, residues, and cleaning. There is a need for different textures depending on the conditions in each area.
While one area may require a highly textured surface in order to achieve good friction, another area may require a more fine finish so that it can be easier to maintain. A combination of anti-slip properties and cleanability of the surface is necessary.
Points to Note
Food grade flooring costs will vary depending on the material to be used, the thickness required, condition of the existing concrete floor, surface preparation, drainage requirements, coving, and time available for installation.
Even though PU concrete flooring may cost more initially compared to an epoxy coating which is thin, it could be more suitable in areas with high temperatures and frequent washing. The proper comparison should take into consideration the operating environment, the expected lifetime, and the maintenance.
Other variables that will determine the quotations are:
CoatEXX Industrial Solutions carries out an assessment of the site and gives quotations based on the needs of each zone. Wet processing, dry stores, packaging areas, and corridor may need different flooring systems.
CoatEXX Industrial Solutions provides industrial floorings for factories that manufacture foods and beverages where hygiene and safety become important.
The installation can be carried out phase-wise depending upon the production and cleaning schedule provided that site conditions permit it and the nature of work to be done.
The crew will observe all the necessary conditions at the site, including hairnet, personal protection equipment (PPE), and clean zone procedures.
Each individual zone is evaluated in terms of temperature, chemical resistance, moisture, footfall, and cleaning considerations to select a suitable flooring system.
It is important to think about the boundary of the drainage, slope of the floor, and the joints where the walls meet the floor when planning for these factors.
It is expected that, after installation, there are guidelines on cleaning, compatibility of the products, and inspection.
Some of them are temperature, chemical resistance, moisture, drainage, pedestrian flow, and hygiene in different areas. A site survey will be able to reveal whether PU floor, epoxy floor, or both should be selected.
Epoxy flooring may be used in certain areas of food manufacturing and packaging facilities. In situations where hot washdowns or thermal shock occur frequently, then PU concrete system may be more appropriate.
Flooring installation could be possible in stages when the other sections of the facility continue operations. This will depend on the work site, floor preparation, curing time, safety precautions, and separation from food production areas.
This is flooring that is chosen and designed with a view to complementing the HACCP system of food safety employed in a facility. It must be easy to maintain and appropriate for use in a particular environment.
