Key hygienic flooring considerations for the soft drinks industry
Flooring in soft drinks manufacturing environments must be hygienic and easy to clean. Plain concrete floors are not classified as hygienic.
In such wet processing environments, where liquids are frequently spilt on the floor, flooring for the soft drinks industry must also be slip resistant.
As many soft drinks ingredients and commercial 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.
Soft drinks plants require flooring which is durable and impact resistant in what is a very demanding manufacturing environment.
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 in a soft drinks processing environment, the drainage should be made for high-quality stainless steel.
