Food Processing Flooring Systems
Food Processing Flooring that are as hygienic and durable as they are safe is a must. These systems must withstand constant exposure to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures, and high-impact activities. Typical food processing flooring systems often employ seamless, non-porous materials like epoxy, polyurethane, or methyl methacrylate (MMA) resins. These materials prevent bacteria and mold growth, simplifying cleaning and sanitation processes, which are crucial for food safety. Moreover, the flooring is typically formulated to be slip-resistant, protecting workers from falls in environments often wet and greasy. The specific material choice depends on the particular needs of the facility, considering factors such as the types of food being processed, the cleaning protocols, and budget constraints. Ultimately, a well-selected and properly installed food processing flooring system is a cornerstone of maintaining a safe and sanitary food production environment.
Duraguard offers many epoxies, urethane concretes, and poly aspartic food processing flooring solutions to meet the unique challenges that food & beverage manufacturers encounter. These including moisture, temperature extremes, chemical intensive cleaning, and traffic from carts, crates, forklifts and more. Not to mention, your facility has several inspections to pass, including USDA, FDA, and OSHA.
To cover all these needs, food processing facilities require seamless, sanitary, and easy-to-clean floors which stand up to high impact, traffic, moisture, and chemicals. Duraguard has many HACCP-certified Food and Beverage flooring solutions that are ideal for bakeries, packaging plants, freezers & refrigeration, bottling areas, loading docks, and much more.
Conditions include heavy traffic, ingredient spillage including oils, sugars, hot/cold conditions such as coolers and ovens, hot spills, wetness and wash downs. Common applications include coolers, kitchens, traffic aisles, tank areas, processing, packaging, truck bays, loading docks, warehouse, chemical storage.
