Flowcrete Asia will be showcasing its ultra-hygienic, food safe flooring solutions for the food & beverage industry at this year’s Livestock Asia Expo, which is taking place at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from the 19th – 21st April.
Now in its ninth edition, Livestock Asia Expo provides food industry professionals from across Asia with the opportunity to discover the latest technology, trends and news. During the exhibition’s three days, the show will see over 7,000 visitors and delegates arrive from across the feed, livestock and meat market sectors.
On booth A239, attendees will be able to discover the advanced hygiene properties of Flowcrete Asia’s Flowfresh range. This collection of specialist polyurethane systems has been designed specifically to maintain a high performance, functional and sanitary finish for an extended period of time despite the many challenges that food and beverage processing activity will inevitably expose the floor to.
Every Flowfresh system has been HACCP International certified, proving its ability to deliver a fit-for-purpose food industry floor. The seamless and impervious nature of Flowfresh makes it easy to clean and it can also be laid to a fall, incorporate stainless steel drainage and add coving to create a finish that will enable contaminants to be rapidly washed away with minimal effort.
In fact, Flowfresh goes above and beyond even the strict standards of HACCP, as the antibacterial additive Polygiene® is homogenously distributed throughout the system’s resin matrix. A natural, silver-ion based agent, Polygiene® is able to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria in contact with the floor, providing an added layer of protection against potentially harmful microbes and contaminants in between a facility’s scheduled wash cycles. Flowfresh has been proven to meet the ISO 22196 standard, which measures a surface’s antibacterial effectiveness on plastics and other non-porous surfaces.
The durability of Flowfresh means that it will retain its hygienic characteristics despite the hot oils, sugary solutions, corrosive food by-products, steam cleaning, impacts, point loading, thermal shock, forklift truck traffic and more that daily operations within a food processing facility will throw at the floor.
The ability of the Flowfresh range to provide this long list of hygienic and operational benefits has made it a popular choice with many well-known food industry brands looking for state-of-the-art floors for large-scale processing facilities across Asia. This includes being installed in Krispy Kreme’s Indonesian processing plant, Anheuser – Busch Inbev’s brewery in Vietnam and China’s Changyu Wine City.
