Key considerations for the confectionery production industry
Flooring in confectionery processing environments must be hygienic and easy to clean. Plain concrete floors are not classified as hygienic.
In the confectionery production process, where liquids are frequently spilt on the floor, flooring must also be slip resistant.
As many confectionery ingredients and cleaning products can attack concrete, all flooring must be chemically resistant. Failure to provide this level of protection can lead to contamination and costly remedial works.
Floors in confectionery plants can be subject to extremes of heat, so coverings must be thermal shock resistant.
Drainage plays a major part of any hygienic floor installation and should be considered at the start of the specification and design process. For maximum hygiene and cleanability, the flooring in confectionery processing should be made for high-quality stainless steel.
