Today, as food safety and production efficiency are increasingly valued, the choice of floor materials is particularly important for meat processing plants. Recently, a well-known meat processing plant replaced the originally planned epoxy floor with a polyurethane floor, successfully solving key problems such as corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, and setting a new benchmark for the meat processing industry.

Background and Challenges

The meat processing plant originally planned to lay epoxy floor in the workshop in order to improve the overall aesthetics and cleanliness of the workshop. However, in actual use, epoxy floor gradually exposed its limitations. Because the workshop needs to be frequently cleaned with boiling water and the floor is in a wet state for a long time, the epoxy floor began to crack and bubble, which not only affected the sanitary environment of the workshop, but also increased maintenance costs. In addition, the low temperature environment in the cold storage area also posed a severe challenge to the epoxy floor, resulting in its performance degradation and failure to meet production needs.

Solution: Introduction of polyurethane floor

Faced with the various shortcomings of epoxy floor, the meat processing plant decided to seek a better floor solution. After many investigations and comparisons, they finally chose polyurethane floor. Polyurethane flooring has become an ideal choice to replace epoxy flooring with its excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature and low temperature resistance and good water vapor permeability.

Specifically, polyurethane flooring has shown its unique advantages in the following aspects:

Corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance: polyurethane flooring can effectively resist chemical corrosion and high temperature environment generated during meat processing, ensuring that the workshop floor remains flat and undamaged for a long time.

Good water vapor permeability: polyurethane flooring has good air permeability, which can effectively alleviate problems such as bubbles, shelling, cracking, etc. caused by damp ground, providing a more stable and reliable working environment for the workshop.

Low temperature resistance: for the low temperature environment of the cold storage area, polyurethane flooring can maintain its excellent physical properties, ensuring that the flatness and durability of the ground can be maintained under extremely cold conditions.

Environmental protection and safety: polyurethane flooring uses water-based, environmentally friendly and pollution-free raw materials, meets national and international environmental protection standards, can reduce environmental pollution, and ensure the health and safety of employees.

Implementation effect

Since the adoption of polyurethane flooring, the workshop environment of the meat processing plant has been significantly improved. The ground is flat, crack-free and bubble-free, which effectively improves the cleanliness and hygiene level of the workshop. At the same time, the corrosion resistance and high and low temperature resistance of the polyurethane floor also ensure the stable operation of the workshop in harsh environments and improve production efficiency. In addition, the environmental protection characteristics of the polyurethane floor have also been highly recognized by customers, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the company.

Conclusion

The successful application of polyurethane floor in the meat industry not only solves the problems that epoxy floor cannot overcome, but also provides reference experience for the entire industry. With the continuous improvement of food safety and production efficiency requirements, polyurethane floor will undoubtedly become the preferred floor material for more meat processing plants.
