Selecting new floors for a large abbatoir such as Danish Crown in Horsens, Denmark presented several challenges. As one of the largest abbatoirs globally, the floors will endure significant wear and tear, and will need to resist harsh cleaning agents and provide high durability for heavy trolley loads.
“The floors here are used 24 hours a day. We work in two shifts, and between these, the cleaning staff attend to the floors. It is important that the floors are durable and easy to clean without showing much wear,” said Jørgen Dam, Technical Employee at Danish Crown. “A particular challenge was the floors in the corridors adjacent to the production areas. These floors must be able to withstand chemicals and also provide a non-slip surface due to detritus trafficked by employees’ shoes.”
Jørgen Dam said “The most important thing for us is that the floor can resist chemicals and is not slippery. We received a flooring sample from Altro and tested it in a strong acid bath. After soaking for two days, the floor was not damaged, which even surprised Altro’s sales consultant.”
“In the long term, we plan to replace the rest of the floor in our corridors as it wears out,” concluded Jørgen Dam.
Over 200 m² of Altro Reliance 25 safety floor was installed in the Danish Crown corridors. Altro Reliance 25 is hard-wearing and stain-resistant, providing a durable floor that can withstand chemical spills and high levels of foot and wheeled traffic.
