Meat, Poultry and Fish Processing Flooring

Durable and Sanitary Meat, Poultry and Fish Processing Flooring

The flooring of meat, poultry, and seafood processing facilities is subjected to heavy wear and tear from constant foot traffic, harsh chemicals, forklifts and other vehicles, large processing machines, and product storage containers. These production factories need flooring that is resilient enough to withstand the weight of this equipment as well as resist scratches, scuffs, scrapes, and other damage when items are transported across the production floor.

Meat, poultry, and fish factory flooring is also frequently exposed to animal fats, oils, water, harsh cleansers, blood, salt, acidic fluids, and other corrosive liquids that are commonly found in food production facilities. Exposure to these materials can damage the surface of the floor unless the concrete has a specially formulated protective coating. Additionally, the meat, poultry, and seafood processing flooring should be easy to clean so that when spills and messes occur, they can be mopped up without interfering with factory operations.

Optimal flooring solutions for meat, poultry, and fish processing facilities should be compliant with United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines as well as the requirements outlined by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in order to pass rigorous sanitation inspections. Flooring solutions that are USDA-compliant and FDA-inspection ready support the regulations administered by these and other agencies.

Hygienic Flooring for the Meat, Poultry and Seafood Processing Industry 

Facilities that process meat, poultry, or fish products must maintain excellent hygiene conditions to prevent jeopardizing the safety of food and the health of consumers. To support a safe, hygienic environment free of dangerous pathogens, bacteria, or fungi, flooring surfaces must be easy to clean and sanitize. The flooring must be durable enough to withstand regular and frequent exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals and protocols, while maintaining its seamless, monolithic surface over time. Cracks, crevices, pitting or degraded areas can store dirt, dust, and fluids, creating an environment where harmful microorganisms can flourish. The antimicrobial features and seamless design of Sherwin-Williams food processing flooring helps eliminate spots where excess moisture and fluids can puddle, while enabling facilities to properly and efficiently control bacterial growth.

Our meat, poultry, and fish processing flooring systems are resistant to chemicals, moisture, impact and more, offering complete protection against animal by-products and acidic liquids that can degrade the concrete below. We also offer slip-resistant textures to provide traction and help prevent slips and falls.
