Food Production Flooring
Arturo specialises in providing advanced resin flooring systems specifically engineered for the food production industry. Our high-performance flooring solutions are designed to meet the rigorous demands of food processing, packaging, and storage environments, ensuring superior hygiene, durability, and safety. With a focus on long-term performance and compliance with industry standards, Arturo resin flooring systems offer a seamless, easy-to-maintain surface ideal for the complex requirements of food production facilities.
Food production facilities must contend with a variety of unique challenges, including maintaining high hygiene standards, ensuring safety, and withstanding exposure to harsh cleaning agents, moisture, and heavy equipment. Resin flooring systems are specifically designed to address these challenges, offering numerous advantages that make them the preferred choice for facilities in the food production sector.
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
The seamless nature of Arturo resin flooring eliminates the gaps and cracks found in traditional flooring systems where dirt, bacteria, and contaminants can accumulate. Resin floors are non-porous, preventing the absorption of liquids, oils, and food residues, which helps maintain a hygienic environment. This is essential in food production, where stringent HACCP, FDA, and food safety regulations must be followed.
Superior Chemical Resistance
In food production facilities, floors are routinely exposed to a wide range of chemicals, including cleaning agents, oils, acids, and food-related substances. Arturo Resin flooring systems are engineered to withstand these harsh chemicals without deteriorating. Epoxy and polyurethane resin floors are particularly effective at resisting the corrosive effects of oils, fats, acids, and cleaning chemicals, preventing staining, cracking, or degradation of the floor surface over time.
This high level of chemical resistance ensures that the flooring maintains both its functionality and appearance, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements while minimising operational disruptions.
Enhanced Slip Resistance
Safety is a primary concern in food production environments, where wet, greasy, or soapy floors can lead to slips and falls. Resin flooring systems can be adapted with the addition of recycled glass beads to produce a slip-resistant surface finish to meet workplace safety standards. Arturo resin floors ensure a stable, secure walking surface even in areas prone to moisture, spills, or grease build-up.
These flooring systems are ideal for wet processing areas, production lines, loading docks, and other spaces where the risk of slipping is heightened, thus contributing to a safer workplace for all personnel.
Thermal Resistance and Shock Resistance
Food production facilities often experience temperature extremes, especially in areas such as ovens, cold storage, and freezers. Arturo Resin flooring systems provide excellent thermal stability, handling temperatures up to 120°C for polyurethane systems and Up to 60°C for epoxy floors.
This ensures the floor remains structurally sound even when exposed to high heat or cold, maintaining its integrity and performance. In addition, resin flooring offers superior thermal shock resistance, allowing it to endure sudden temperature changes, such as when hot equipment is cleaned or when cold storage areas are opened and closed
Moisture Resistance and Water Tolerance
Moisture is a common challenge in food production environments, where floors are regularly exposed to water from washing, spills, or food processing activities. Arturo Resin flooring systems are impermeable, preventing water from seeping into the substrate and causing damage such as mould growth, delamination, or weakening of the floor.
Moisture-tolerant epoxy systems ensure resin floors remain durable and stable even in wet environments. The nature of resin flooring also minimises the potential for bacterial and mould growth, maintaining a cleaner and more sanitary surface.
Impact and Load Resistance
Food production environments are subject to heavy foot traffic, machinery movement, and equipment or material drops. Resin flooring offers superior impact resistance and compressive strength, making it ideal for areas where heavy loads or impacts are common. Polyurethane resin systems provide additional flexural strength, enabling the floor to absorb shock from dropped tools or machinery without cracking or sustaining damage.
This level of durability ensures that the flooring remains intact and functional over time, even in high-traffic or high-impact areas.
