Intelligent Floor Concept
with Central Drainage Channel
Maintaining strict hygiene standards and efficient production processes are both of critical importance in the meat industry. Against this background, Schröter Technologie is responding to its customers’ needs for durable production system floors. An innovative floor concept features a central stainless steel drainage channel integrated into the floor preparation.
One advantage of this concept is the simple and cost-effective implementation of on-site preparation measures. The stainless steel floor lies flat on the bare concrete. There is no need for time-consuming leveling or gradients to be installed. This not only ensures long-term functionality, but also a longer service life for the substrate and the floor plate thanks to a stress-reduced design. The channel is also quick and easy to install.
The installation of a central drainage channel is possible for both single-row and double-row systems. It is positioned centrally under the trolley in the direction of travel, offers improved positioning of the trolleys within the system and effectively prevents unintentional rolling of the trolleys.
The innovative concept also enables water to be drained away efficiently. For example, the shower water takes the shortest route to the drainage channel and disappears into two narrow gaps. The air flow from the blow-out nozzles is also directed into the chamber, minimizing the contact time between the residual moisture and the air flow. This ensures uniform drying. On the one hand, this design ensures the quality requirements by positioning the trolleys precisely, and on the other hand, the concept effectively reduces residual moisture in the system for the downstream drying process.
It goes without saying that the design also takes practical aspects into account. For example, the cover of the drainage channel is easy to remove, making cleaning effortless and easy. The fully welded construction and its smooth, even floor structure meet all hygiene requirements and help to maintain a clean and safe working environment.
