Preventing slip-ups in banana warehouse
March 1st 2007 Upgrading its 3500m2 warehouse in Essex, Windward Bananas asked Ryebrook Resins to lay its hardwearing and hygienic Ryetech HT fast-cure floor finish. After a trial of Ryebrook's advanced resin finish, the programme to resurface the remaining warehouse was divided into seven segments of 500m2, each being completed before moving to the next. This reduced disruptions and ensured that normal operations could be resumed as soon as possible. The unsealed concrete floor of each area was prepared by shotblasting and diamond grinding. Repairs to the sub-floor were carried out before the application of a single, 0.5mm coat of Ryetech HT fast cure in light grey. Having a build thickness of a normal two-coat solvent-free resin in just a single coat, Ryetech HT delivers quick results without compromising on durability. The result is a floor that provides a high level of resilience against abrasion from heavy pallets and fork lift trucks, while providing a safe, slip-resistant surface that is seamless and easy to maintain at a high level of cleanliness. Bob Chambers, depot manager, was impressed both by Ryebrook's efficiency and its professionalism. More articles from Ryebrook Resins Ltd: |
