Flooring solutions for the food industry

Flooring solutions

for the Food and

Drinks Industry

Food and drink facilities (production, packaging, agricultural storage, bottling) face many challenges with respect to their

flooring needs

Furthermore requirements for certification (ISO 22000, IFS, FDA etc.) can often

overwhelm companies in this industry

For example…

Wineries…. Need a floor that will not be

subjected to constant abrasion from acids

Meat processing facilities….

Need to deal with the heavy chemical abrasion that occurs from blood and meat residue

Oil production and packaging companies ….

Need to be deal with slippery surfaces that occur from oils

falling on the floor

Dairy product facilities….

Need a floor resistant to abrasion from lactic acids. Conventional

epoxy floors are not suitable

So what are the

characteristics of an

effective flooring system in the food and drinks

sector?

Here are the

Most important features

1. Seamless floor

1. Seamless Floor

No joints, no cracks, no edges where dirt and

bacteria can accumulate

2. non-absorbing

surface

The surface should not have pores. It should be

• 100% waterproof and suitable for daily washing

• Repellent to oils, acids, fats and other food related residues

• Resistant to cleaning detergent

2.Non–absorbing surface

3. easy-to-clean

• Food and drink processing facilities need to clean their floors several times a day

• The floor must be easy to clean

• The edges of the floor need to be rounded so muck and dirt don’t gather in these places

3. Easy to Clean

3. Easy to Clean

Rounded floor edges go up the wall thus not

enabling dirt and residue to gather in the corners

4. operability

Food and drink facilities are subjected on a daily basis to significant operational challenges:

• Heavy traffic from forklifts carrying significant loads

• Attack from various food-related chemical substances that may cause abrasion

• Protection of workers from slipping and falling

4. Operabilty

How can we help?

Ktisis have developed special flooring systems that address

the needs of the food and drinks sector

The Ktisofloor system is an epoxy-resin based self-

leveling system that provides all of the above mentioned

characteristics

The Ktisopur system is a polyurethane based system

that provides elasticity and is suitable for dairy production

Ktisodur Corner mortar is an epoxy grouting system that

allows the formation of rounded edges on the floor

Some of our projects…

Ktisofloor anti-slip epoxy system used for olive oil packaging

Ktisepox flooring system used in an agricultural produce storage facility
