hygiene of the polymer floor:
- The polymer floor is seamless, easy to clean and easy to maintain, and does not support the growth of bacteria.
the polymer floor is resistant to temperature:
- boiling for several seconds or even minutes - high temperatures and thermal shocks up to +150 °C
the polymer floor is resistant to chemicals:
- resistant to strong acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, fats and chemicals used in many industries, including food and beverage production
polymer flooring is safe and environmentally friendly:
- odorless during application - meets the standards of the lowest level of VOC emissions
in flooring systems
polymer flooring
and safety:
- Slip-resistant, can be selected according to customer requirements - it is possible to perform electrically conductive floors in areas of increased risk of fire or explosion.
the polymer floor has a FAST CURRENT:
- can be applied to concrete substrates, even with high moisture content (5-7 days after concrete work). -quickly gains strength, providing a faster start of operation.
STAGES OF THE ARRANGEMENT
PREPARATION OF THE BASE
First, the surface of the substrate is milled and sanded using industrial vacuum cleaners. after that, the substrate is further cleaned with powerful industrial vacuum cleaners.
APPLICATION OF THE SOIL LAYER
The primer layer should be applied on a dry and clean surface with a moisture content of no more than 4%. It improves the adhesion of the substrate and subsequent polymer coating layers, strengthens the base, increases the service life of the floor, and reduces the risk of peeling.
LAYING THE BASE LAYER + FILLING
The polymer coating on the floor is applied exclusively
on the polymerized primer/adhesive layer.
The two-component polymer mixture with the addition of filler is applied with a trowel or roller. This layer of the system evens out defects in the base and closes the pores in the concrete.
TOPCOAT
Depending on the chosen system, we apply the topcoat using a squeegee (in some cases, a roller).
This layer is the main layer, it carries the main properties of the selected coating. In addition, the topcoat also plays a decorative role.
Polymer systems can be used for:
- production shops (meat, fish, hot and cold shops, procurement, etc.)
- confectionery shop
- food laboratories
- refrigerators and freezers
- premises for processing and preparation of raw materials
- packaging workshops
- logistics facilities
- sanitary and household facilities
VM-HIM provides industrial self-leveling flooring solutions for food processing facilities of any scale and complexity. We select the most suitable flooring system based on operating conditions, production processes, and hygiene requirements, ensuring durability, safety, and long-term performance.
The food industry has some of the highest requirements for flooring systems. Floors in food production, processing, and packaging facilities are exposed daily to moisture, aggressive cleaning agents, organic acids, heavy mechanical loads, and temperature fluctuations. Therefore, self-leveling flooring for food processing facilities must provide exceptional durability while meeting strict sanitary and hygiene standards.
Requirements for Flooring in Food Processing Facilities
Flooring in food production environments must remain reliable under intensive use. It must withstand forklift and trolley traffic, impacts from heavy objects, frequent washing, and regular disinfection procedures.
- seamless surface structure;
- resistance to moisture and chemicals;
- high impact and abrasion resistance;
- anti-slip properties;
- easy cleaning and disinfection;
- long service life.
Benefits of Self-Leveling Floors for the Food Industry
Polymer self-leveling floors create a seamless surface without joints or cracks. This prevents the accumulation of dirt, bacteria, and fungi, which is essential for maintaining hygiene standards in food processing facilities.
In addition, these flooring systems offer excellent mechanical strength and resistance to daily operational loads. They are highly resistant to fats, acids, alkalis, and cleaning chemicals commonly used in food production environments.
Resistance to Temperature Changes and Moisture
Many food processing facilities expose flooring to hot water, steam, or chilled products on a regular basis. As a result, the flooring system must withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking or delamination.
Industrial self-leveling floors provide excellent thermal resistance and maintain their performance characteristics even under demanding production conditions.
Workplace Safety
Ensuring safe movement of personnel is essential in production areas. If required, flooring surfaces can be designed with anti-slip properties to reduce the risk of slips, falls, and workplace injuries, even in wet environments.
Compliance with Hygiene Standards
Flooring systems used in food production facilities must comply with international hygiene and safety requirements. The materials used for self-leveling flooring can meet HACCP, ISEGA, USDA, and EHEDG standards, making them suitable for food and beverage production environments.
Applications of Self-Leveling Flooring in the Food Industry
- meat processing facilities;
- dairy plants;
- bakeries and confectionery production facilities;
- fish processing plants;
- breweries and beverage production facilities;
- food storage warehouses;
- cold storage and freezer rooms.
