Transforming Food & Drink Environments...
Food manufacturing environments are exposed to a wide variety of corrosive by-products and contaminants including fats, hot oils, blood, sugar solutions and natural food acids - all of which can penetrate the clean zone, resulting in uncontrolled bacterial growth...
Flowcrete UK has the right flooring solution for all areas contained within the food manufacturing environment:
Meat and Fish Processing
Slaughtering areas and seafood processing plants are heavy-duty environments exposed to punishing conditions including aggressive cleaning methods and contaminants including blood, grease and oil.
These areas require tough floor coatings with added hygiene protection and a high grade texture to prevent slips, trips and falls when surfaces are wet.

Flowfresh HF | Flowfast Quartz | Peran STB
Beverages and Alcoholic Drinks
Beverage production and bottling plants are clean room environments demanding high levels of purity and sanitation.
These areas are often exposed to medium-high traffic as well as heavy equipment and machinery and therefore require flexible floor and wall coatings that can take the strain while at the same meet food-grade hygiene standards.

Bakeries and Confectionery
Bakeries and confectionery plants are subject to one of the most dangerous asnd corrosive by-products found in the food industry - sugar.
Durable floor coating systems that provide a tough, thick and chemical resistant seal coat layer can help to eliminate the risk of sugar eating into the surface of floor as well as keep other potentially harmful contaminants at bay.

Kitchens and Production Lines
Industrial kitchens and assembly lines are responsible for producing hundreds of consumable foodstuff products every day, whether that be fresh meals or pre-cooked convenience food.
As a result, these areas demand hygienic flooring systems that can destroy any bacteria that poses a threat to human health - such as E-coli, salmonella or staphylococcus - as soon as it lands on the floor.

Freezers and Cold Stores
Freezers and cold stores require speciality floor coating systems that can be installed at low temperatures and in damp conditions as well as cure in a short turnaround time to reduce client downtime and the associated risk of food spoilage in refurbishment projects.
These systems should also be low odour to avoid imparting any unpleasant taste or smell onto foodstuffs.

Flowcoat SF41 | Flowfast Quartz | Flowfresh HF
Food Packaging Services
Food packaging services need to meet less stringent hygiene requirements, although installing a seamless floor coating will offer a good clean-barrier against the build-up of dirt, dust and bacteria in cracks and crevices.
Flexible membranes that support the impact of heavy mechanical equipment is also a consideration in these areas.
