Further information

Commercial and industrial bakeries require tight controls of their manufacturing areas. Proper flooring in these areas can increase productivity, and decrease sanitation costs. Furthermore, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is driving bakery manufacturers to examine their building envelope, and ensure that their walls, ceilings, and bakery flooring are well maintained and sanitary. PumaCRETE^® bakery flooring was developed, in order to assist customers with maintainable, cleanable and durable bakery floors. For over 30 years, EPF has assisted bakeries with customized flooring solutions. PumaCRETE^® seamless food grade flooring is specified in new construction and existing bakery floor renovations.

Bakery Floors for Wet and Dry Areas

PumaCRETE^® flooring is found in both wet and dry areas of bakery facilities. Wet areas such as dough makeup and pan washing, require grading the floors to drains. Properly graded floors prevent ponding, and allow for fast drying. Better drainage equals saved time on cleaning, and prevention of lost time accidents due to slips and falls. Dry areas require sealed floors, to make it easy to perform dry cleanup. Oven and fryer areas require resistance to heat and hot oils. Other typical areas needing floor coatings include ingredient areas, spiral coolers, freezers, proofers, coolers, loading docks, warehouses and maintenance shops.

When compared to other food processing floor options, PumaCRETE^® stands above the rest. PumaCRETE^® flooring is available in several versions, all of which are troweled urethane floors. Thickness varies from 3/16 to 3/8 inch. Options include 4 hour cure polyaspartic coatings, and integral sanitary cove base.
