Critical Flooring Pain Points in Food Processing
Before the renovation, the factory’s key areas—including raw material cleaning zones, processing workshops, and finished product packaging lines—were paved with traditional ceramic tiles and ordinary concrete floors. These surfaces failed to adapt to the rigorous demands of food production. Firstly, the porous structure of ceramic tiles made them prone to residue accumulation and bacterial growth, violating food hygiene standards and increasing the risk of product contamination. Secondly, the concrete floors were easily cracked by frequent transportation of heavy raw material bins and equipment, generating dust that further compromised hygiene. Thirdly, the poor slip resistance of old flooring posed severe safety hazards for workers, especially in wet cleaning areas. Additionally, frequent maintenance of damaged floors led to prolonged production downtime and increased operational costs.
Why Industrial-Grade Homogeneous Through-Colour PVC Flooring Was Selected
After rigorous market research and on-site evaluations, the factory’s management team partnered with Dajulong, a professional industrial flooring solution provider, and selected its industrial-grade homogeneous through-colour PVC flooring. This decision was driven by the product’s superior properties that perfectly matched food processing needs. The homogeneous through-colour structure ensures exceptional wear resistance and impact resistance, capable of withstanding heavy loads and frequent traffic without cracking or dusting. Its dense, non-porous surface prevents residue and bacterial adhesion, meeting the strict hygiene requirements of the food industry.
Moreover, the flooring achieves an R9 slip resistance rating, maintaining excellent anti-slip performance even in wet environments to protect worker safety. It also boasts a 99% antibacterial rate (compliant with the ISO22196 standard) and is resistant to food-grade cleaning agents and disinfectants, simplifying daily hygiene maintenance. The factory team verified the product’s reliability by inspecting Dajulong’s production base, reviewing food-grade certification documents, and referencing successful cases in the same industry.
Project Implementation and Remarkable Outcomes
Following two months of customized solution optimization and sample testing to adapt to the factory’s humid and high-cleanliness environment, the factory officially placed an order for 11,000 square meters of industrial-grade homogeneous through-colour PVC flooring. The construction team adopted a phased installation strategy to minimize production disruption, completing the full-area upgrade in 55 days, covering all key production and packaging zones.
The upgrade delivered transformative results. The new flooring eliminated bacterial growth and dust contamination risks, helping the factory pass national food safety inspections with excellent results. Product defect rates related to environmental contamination dropped by 25%. Its durability and easy-to-clean properties reduced annual maintenance costs by 60% and shortened daily cleaning time by 38%. Most importantly, the slip-resistant surface achieved zero flooring-related safety accidents within a year of installation. This successful flooring transformation not only enhanced the factory’s operational efficiency and compliance level but also set a benchmark for flooring upgrades in the food processing industry.
