Flooring systems in food processing facilities have to withstand severe exposure which includes mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses.
The biggest challenges for flooring systems in food processing facilities are generally in the production areas. They have to withstand severe exposure which includes mechanical, chemical and thermal stresses. The right degree of slip resistance is also required to meet the Health & Safety regulations.
NZ Specialised Coatings apply a range of Cement, Epoxy and Polyurethane resins for the specific environments.
Most production areas can be divided into ‘dry’ or ‘wet’ processing areas.
Example of ‘wet’ processing area is in the vegetable industry. Confectionary would be an example of a ‘dry’ processing area where they produce sweets etc.
