Food Manufacturing Flooring – Food Processing & Food Grade Floors
South Island Surfaces specializes in food-safe flooring solutions for the food and beverage processing industries.
Our full range of epoxy and polyurethane flooring solutions are specifically engineered for the environments and installation challenges of the food industry sector such as exposure to a wide range of corrosive materials and food contaminants like hot oil, sugars, natural food acids, fat, and grease to name a few.
To combat the danger of unchecked bacterial growth, be considered easy to maintain and clean, and be approved as food-safe flooring, food manufacturing flooring solutions must adhere to strict health and safety guidelines.
Also each specific sector in the food industry has unique flooring requirements:
Bakeries
Bakeries require floor coatings that are resistant to the corrosive effects of sugars left on the surface.
Dairies
Dairies require flooring solutions that can stand up to a constant cycle of rigorous cleaning regimens required by wet/dry manufacturing processes.
Corner Stores & Snack Foods
Snack Foods require slip-resistant floor surfaces to prevent injuries.
Blending & Bottling
Blending/Bottling facilities require floor surfaces that can stand up to the daily rigours of heavy equipment traffic.
Meat & Fish Processing Plants
Meat/Fish Processing facilities have extreme requirements for added hygiene protection, slip and fall resistance yet must be resistant to blood, oil and grease contaminants, all while being able to withstand the harshest cleaning cycles.
Fruit & Vegetable Processing
Fruit / Vegetable Processing floors must be able to withstand high traffic volume, thermal shock and high temperatures and have a surface that doesn’t succumb to destruction from acids, sugars, and preservatives.
Freezers & Cold Storage
Freezer / Cold Storage floors need to install quickly at low temperatures and stand up to moisture, in turn reducing down time for the business.
