The document discusses flooring solutions for the food and drinks industry. It notes various challenges facilities face including abrasion from acids in wineries and meat processing plants and slippery surfaces in oil production facilities. An effective flooring system needs to be seamless with no cracks, have a non-absorbing surface to repel substances, be easy to clean including rounded edges, and withstand operational demands like traffic and chemical attacks. The document introduces Ktisis flooring systems like Ktisofloor epoxy and Ktisopur polyurethane that meet these requirements and have been used in projects like wine bottling plants and olive oil packaging facilities.

1. Flooring solutions
for the Food and
Drinks Industry

2. Food and drink facilities (production,
packaging, agricultural storage, bottling)
face many challenges with respect to their
flooring needs
Furthermore requirements for certification
(ISO 22000, IFS, FDA etc.) can often
overwhelm companies in this industry

3. For example…

4. Wineries….
Need a floor that will not be
subjected to constant abrasion
from acids

5. Meat processing
facilities….
Need to deal with the heavy
chemical abrasion that occurs
from blood and meat residue

6. Oil production and
packaging companies ….
Need to be deal with slippery
surfaces that occur from oils
falling on the floor

7. Dairy product
facilities….
Need a floor resistant to abrasion
from lactic acids. Conventional
epoxy floors are not suitable

8. So what are the
characteristics of an
effective flooring system
in the food and drinks
sector?

9. Here are the
Most important
features

10. 1.
Seamless floor

11. 1. Seamless Floor
No joints, no cracks, no
edges where dirt and
bacteria can
accumulate

12. 2.
non-absorbing
surface

13. The surface should not have pores. It
should be
• 100% waterproof and suitable for
daily washing
• Repellent to oils, acids, fats and
other food related residues
• Resistant to cleaning detergent
2.Non–absorbing surface

14. 3.
easy-to-clean

15. • Food and drink processing facilities need
to clean their floors several times a day
• The floor must be easy to clean
• The edges of the floor need to be rounded
so muck and dirt don’t gather in these
places
3. Easy to Clean

16. 3. Easy to Clean
Rounded floor edges go
up the wall thus not
enabling dirt and residue
to gather in the corners

17. 4.
operability

18. Food and drink facilities are subjected on a daily
basis to significant operational challenges:
• Heavy traffic from forklifts carrying significant
loads
• Attack from various food-related chemical
substances that may cause abrasion
• Protection of workers from slipping and falling
4. Operabilty

19. How can we help?

20. Ktisis have developed special
flooring systems that address
the needs of the food and
drinks sector

21. The Ktisofloor system is an
epoxy-resin based self-
leveling system that provides
all of the above mentioned
characteristics

22. The Ktisopur system is a
polyurethane based system
that provides elasticity and is
suitable for dairy production

23. Ktisodur Corner mortar is an
epoxy grouting system that
allows the formation of
rounded edges on the floor

24. Some of our projects…

25. Ktisofloor Epoxy System used
in wine bottling plant

26. Ktisofloor anti-slip epoxy
system used for olive oil
packaging

27. Ktisepox flooring system used
in an agricultural produce
storage facility

Any specific questions regarding your
case?
Any advice on how to proceed with your
project?
