Almol Casings is one of Australia’s leading producers and suppliers specialising in natural casings. The iconic Australian company was established 40 years ago and is committed to be the ‘best of breed’ in every aspect of the business.
A key requirement of the company’s new state-of-the-art, multimillion-dollar factory in Sydney was that its floor coatings met strict food hygiene and OHS standards, and demanding cleaning regimes as well as provide extensive longevity.
The client chose Roxset SE 1 as a tailored solution to optimise the traffic demands of every area of the facility. A major need was a system with aesthetic appeal that was extremely tough and able to withstand forklift and trolley traffic, so Roxset SE was installed over 2000 m2 at an increased thickness of 4-6 mm.
The mezzanine storage area needed an anti-slip coating for extra safety and protection while the processing and washdown areas needed a seamless waterproof floor which could withstand very wet conditions, high-pressure cleaning and forklift and trolley traffic.
The client also called for each working area to be colour delineated using a block pattern with the epoxy resin - this is not only practical but adds interest and appeal for staff and customers.
Roxset SE1 is suitable for wet processing zones such as food manufacturing, food preparation areas and chemical processing plants. The coating delivers an easy-to-clean and -sterilise antislip surface, which offers good thermal protection. In the coldroom areas Roxset SE4 was applied.
The seamless flooring was enhanced wall-to-floor coving installed at 100 mm, to ensure a monolithic surface. The flooring complies with all the requirements of HACCP and AQIS and BRC certification.
