Hygienic drainage solutions in food manufacturing facilities

drainage

Drainage systems in food production facilities are under a lot of pressure due to high traffic, grease, fat, food waste and various chemicals from cleaning procedures. Without an appropriate drainage system, wastewater can cause pipe blockages and major disruptions to services. In addition, cleaning can be difficult, flow inefficient, and bacteria growth a looming threat. 

Drainage in this sector must be: 

  • Suitable and safe for forklifts to continue operating over without damaging the grates;
  • Fabricated out of 316 grade stainless steel, to meet food-grade standards; 
  • Slip-resistant to ensure pedestrians can operate safely in the area; and
  • Time efficient installation to limit downtime.

drainageInvesting for the future: 

Moving on from simply recognising the requirements – to understanding the importance of investing long term in your drainage solutions. 

After your drainage solution has been installed, the construction materials and equipment in your processing facility have a significant long-term impact on hygienic conditions, operational costs, and performance outcomes. 

If a poorly specified drainage solution has been installed, the expense in time, money, and downtime escalate very quickly. 

To ensure you have complete confidence in your selection, you need a solution that meets the following: 

  • Effectively limits contamination and delivers superior microbiological cleaning outcomes 
  • Optimises your use of resources (time, money, water, cleaning chemicals) 
  • Is reliable, durable, and versatile 

Investing in a hygienic drainage system will lead to long-term cost savings and increased operational efficiency by reducing cleaning times, cleaning chemical and water usage, labour costs, and maintenance costs while increasing production uptime.
