The food and beverage industry builds with Argelith

Companies producing food and beverages expect their floors to resist constant chemical and mechanical loading and to remain in a hygienic condition for years. The German manufacturer Argelith Bodenkeramik has been reliably meeting these requirements for decades.

The floor literally stands its ground while acting as the basis of the complete production - all machinery is fixed directly to the floor. Damage to the floor can only be repaired with great effort and expenditure.

The HACCP standards for hygiene pose great challenges � durability is key. Thick tiles are required to meet these requirements. Argelith tiles begin at the thickness where others end: 15mm. After years of experience in the industry, we would recommend an 18mm tile for areas with forklift or lifting cart traffic to meet increased safety requirements and resist chemical stresses from cleaning solutions or acids inherent to production. Argelith has set new standards for ease of cleaning with mvtec tiles: unglazed and therefore slip resistant, yet stain resistant and easy to clean due to minimized water absorption. No other manufacturer offers all these advantages at the same time. Additionally, the fully vitrified firing process creates the extreme point load bearing qualities of the tile.

In wet areas Argelith Hexalith tiles have proven their worth. These tiles offer a more round shape that allows optimal installation of falls in the floor. This was precisely the problem in the past with ceramic tile floors, the wide joints and frequent overlipping of tiles often led to broken tile edges and susceptibility to damage from acidic or basic cleaners. Due to the absolute size consistency of Argelith tiles the joint widths can be minimized to allow the best drainage of liquids off the floor surface. Joints remain the weakest link in a ceramic floor system and should, according to Argelith, be loaded as little as possible.

Before construction begins on a floor, the question whether other flooring solutions may be less expensive to purchase than a ceramic floor often comes up. In this case, it is important to remember that only tiles offer such extreme point load capacity and the ability to disperse the point load in a cone shape into the foundation below. A deciding factor for the longevity of a floor is the extent of forklift traffic or vibrating machinery that the floor must resist. A floor of Argelith ceramic tile is more resistant to this type of stress than any other floor covering solution. Here is where true efficiency becomes reality, once a floor of industrial ceramic tiles is properly installed it is practically a lifelong solution. Whereas any other flooring solution can require repairs after as little as 3 to 5 years of use and with this comes a list of problems: production stoppages and periods of downtime, dirt from renovation in production areas and the great expense of repairing a production line that is anchored to the floor. All this can cost far more over time than the difference between types of floor at time of installation. These problems can be avoided in the food and beverage industry by well thought-out planning before building.
