Food Processing Flooring | Safe & Clean Solution

Food processing flooring is the number one epoxy floor installation for Epoxy Floors NJ. We have done some of the largest projects in the country. We have performed urethane concrete flooring systems for the largest wonton producer and a tofu producer, to name a few. We would be happy to share a list of references with you, as we can boast a great reputation in terms of specifying the right system. Because food processing often involves extensive cleaning, we most commonly use urethane concrete chemistry to fend against any thermal shock concerns or varying temperatures that might cause peeling over time due to its different expansion coefficient. These systems are made using a nonskid additive to the flooring system that can be adjusted according to your needs, making it safe and easy to clean.

In addition, we specify thickness and texture for each area as to can use your budget wisely without sacrificing quality. Our floors are compliant with FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards.

Food Packaging Flooring: The Best Solution

Food packaging flooring comes in many types, as it depends on your process. If your packaging involves a dry process, we typically use a good quality high-solids epoxy floor as it has a higher impact and scratch resistance than urethane concrete flooring.

Contrarily, if your process involves frequent hot or cold water wash down you would be best served by utilizing our urethane concrete flooring as it excels not only in thermal shock but also bonds at approximately 300 pounds per square inch or in layman terms if it peels it will take a layer of the concrete with it , meaning it is virtually unaffected by temperature variation.

In either case, installing a resinous flooring system will provide a seamless and easy-to-clean substrate, making your daily clean-up quick and easy.

Why Investing in High-Quality Food Processing Flooring Matters

Your food processing flooring is critical to the overall process. Bacteria such as Listeria are typically found in areas where there is a cavity that holds bad actors. The consequence can be devastating.

Seamless resin floors provide excellent food safety characteristics as they basically weld to the substrate, leaving little concern for cavities that might trap bacteria, etc.

It also offers a non-slip component, increasing employee safety and reducing insurance concerns.

Its durability creates long-term cost savings as it provides years of heavy-duty service without needing a lot of maintenance.
