Choosing the right design solution

To ensure a safe and bacteria-free environment in high-risk food and beverage production areas, proper hygienic drainage systems must be in place. Choosing the right type of drainage and its location based on equipment placement is crucial, as specific requirements vary for each facility and space.

Drainage system integration

Drainage system integration

Quality drainage alone isn't sufficient if it's not integrated with the floor. Floors are exposed to various harmful elements and aggressive cleaning, necessitating resistance. Defects can arise due to equipment and drainage, so proper consideration of drainage in relation to flooring is vital.

Sufficient drainage flow capacity

Sufficient drainage flow capacity

Proper drainage in food/beverage production areas means handling large water amounts quickly. Inadequate drainage leads to safety issues and contamination risks. Matching drainage to equipment layout and ensuring accessibility is crucial for proper function and maintenance.

Waste water management

Waste water management

Debris like meat, vegetable waste, bones and glass, often clog conventional silt baskets in drainage systems, requiring frequent maintenance. This delays production, compromises safety, and increases contamination risk. Specialized solutions can prevent these issues caused by clogs in drainage.

Cleaning effectiveness

Effective drainage is crucial for safe and hygienic food preparation operations. It helps reduce external hazards and can be fully cleaned in few minutes when designed for hygiene, according to research with Fraunhofer Institute.

Load class

Load class

The grating itself is the most exposed part of a gully or channel in regards to site traffic. To minimize the risk of failures, a proper grating type and load class have to be considered based on current and likely future traffic requirements for all operations.
