Bolidt, specialist for floors in the fresh produce sector

Innovative floors

FOR FRESH PRODUCE COMPANIES

The fruit and vegetables world is changing and more dynamic than ever. R&D, process and product technology are ever more important to match the needs of the modern consumer. Vegetables and fruit are no longer only rinsed and packaged. More and more processing is needed before it ends up as a finished product in the shops. Think, for example, of slicing, juice extraction and processing into convenience vegetables, sliced fruit, juices, potato chips, salads and chilled meals. Thereby, the importance of hygiene and food safety grows and other production processes and environments are needed.

Companies in the fruit and vegetables sector like to choose the Bolidtop^® 700 synthetic floor finish. This floor system has a high mechanical strength so it can be loaded with heavy transport equipment without problems. Also in the long-term, this mechanical strength is guaranteed. That also counts for the other properties including anti-slip, hygienic aspects and detailing. Because the floor system is low-maintenance, production interruptions are kept to a minimum.

For every fresh produce application

Bolidtop^® 700 is a mechanically compounded and seamless floor finish based on low-viscosity two component synthetic resins which are low-odour. The anti-slip properties of Bolidtop^® 700 are adjustable and can be tuned to every wet and dry fresh produce application - from heavy forklift truck traffic and pallet transport to cool cells and cleanroom conditions.
