Extreme resilience: Cleaning poultry floors

cleaning poultry floors

In both hatcheries and slaughterhouses, hygiene is a top-tier priority. The spread of bacteria could result in catastrophe. Thus, it’s only natural that professionals in these sectors take every possible precaution to maintain hygiene.

The flooring can be one of those vital precautions; it’s the largest surface area and it comes into contact with the most substances. We have taken it upon ourselves to thoroughly test our flooring products to find the utmost capacity for chemical and mechanical resistance, as well as ease of cleaning. The Bolidtop^® 700 exhibits some of the most resilient qualities of our flooring. It’s resistant to a vast range of chemicals and is particularly easy to clean.

Chemical resistance

In our Innovation Center we have tested our products to the fullest extent possible. Using all of the most commonly used cleaning agents of the poultry industry, as well as other common substances such as blood, we developed our formula. Despite the strong cleaning agents and the rigorous cleaning schedules of the industry, Bolidtop^® 700 remains unblemished for years to come.

The smooth, pore-free surface allows for a swift and easy clean. Thus, cleaning need not be a struggle nor a reason for general wear and tear. From tap water, all the way to Keno San, Foodclean products, and Bioclean, Bolidt flooring has been tested to the highest degree.

Mechanical resistance

Slaughterhouses and hatcheries naturally undergo a lot of traffic. Therefore the floor should have a durable character. The normal life time of our Bolidtop^® 700 system is estimated at 15-20 years. With little maintenance after this period the floor’s lifetime can even be extended with a similar period. They are designed to take intense pressure. The elements we use result in an impermeable, scratch resistant surface. Bolidtop^® 700 can withstand a pressure of 600 kilograms per square centimeter.

Thus, it performs particularly well in hatcheries and slaughterhouses where heavy equipment is part of the process. When it comes to cleaning process, our flooring can also endure intense pressure. From high pressure cleaning to scrubbers and water sprays, it’s extremely resilient.

These properties make Bolidt flooring systems the top contenders for the poultry industry. Their unmatched resilience offers safety and longevity to the industry.
