Simplot, Bathurst NSW
Simplot Australia is a food manufacturing business that employs 2,000 people across its six manufacturing facilities around Australia and New Zealand. The Simplot Bathurst facility processes sweetcorn.
Project Design Brief
Facing an aging floor and outdated drainage system at the Bathurst manufacturing facility, Simplot sought to upgrade the drainage system and flooring over a three year period across the facility. Consideration was given to making the floor as durable as possible to withstand cleaning agents and extremely hot water used to wash down cleaning and preparation areas.
ACO's Solution
- System 300 with Stainless 5 Star Heelsafe® Anti-Slip grates
Benefits
- The stainless steel channel has a 1:100 built in fall enabling efficient drainage to outlets
- Stainless 5 Star Heelsafe® Anti-Slip with 7mm slots prevent the majority of food solids from entering the drainage system and creating blockages
- The channel and grate system was fabricated from grade 316 stainless steel, to provide a higher level of corrosion resistance for cleaning chemicals
