Modern industry is not only huge workshops in which a large number of people work. On the contrary, people now only operate machines and special equipment and make sure that the basic sanitary and other standards that the state imposes on a particular industry are observed. Technologies of the twenty-first century make it possible to ensure cleanliness not only by regular wet cleaning, sometimes with the use of household chemicals, but also by the so-called self-leveling floors. At first glance, it seems that they do not represent anything special, but if you look at this point in more detail, you can see the advantages that a concrete self-leveling floor gives.
Floors for food processing facilities
Take food processing facilities, for example. This can be a poultry farm, a confectionery factory or a meat processing plant, as well as many other types of this industry. For obvious reasons, the floors in such enterprises must always be clean. The presence of irregularities, cracks, chips and other places where dirt accumulates and bacteria multiply is unacceptable. In addition, in large industries, heavy equipment can be used, which means that the floors must withstand increased loads. Often in food enterprises, organic or inorganic substances are used, which may well get on the floor, it turns out that the floor surface should not enter into chemical reactions with various liquids or gases. High temperatures are very common in food processing, so the floor must be able to withstand that too. Such a large list of requirements can only be satisfied by a self-leveling floor, since it can provide:
- Mechanical strength;
- Impact resistance;
- Chemical resistance;
- Easy to clean;
- Dustless;
- Resistant to temperature extremes.
Durability and the ability to make repairs
Industries may vary, but the requirements for floors are almost always the same as cleanliness and durability are needed everywhere. Concrete floor or polyurethane floors, among other things, also have such quality as durability. Their service life is more than twenty years, but in fact they serve much longer, especially since some areas of the floor damaged for one reason or another can be repaired.
