It is essential for food processing facilities to meet the hygienic and sanitary standards mandated by federal, state, and local agencies. These standards serve as the baseline for passing inspections to ensure that food products can be sold to consumers. To discover more about the rules and regulations that govern these companies, please click on one of the following options.
A recent US study revealed that about “one-third of the FDA food recalls may relate to the cleaning and sanitation, hygiene, and material-handling practices that are required to maintain proper sanitary conditions within a processing facility for the production of safe and quality food”, Custom Stainless Steel Drains meet all the standards below.

Stainless steel floor drains and sinks are highly recommended for breweries, dairies, creameries, and comparable food processing operations, particularly those focused on meat, poultry, and fish.
Key factors to consider when choosing a stainless steel floor drain include:
1. Sanitation - Will it create any hazardous unsanitary condition or violate a plumbing code?
2. Performance and Safety- Will it safely do the job you want it to do? This pertains to flow and loading characteristics.
3. Aesthetic Considerations- Will it compliment the area where it is to be installed?
Sanitation:
It is essential that each floor drain is constructed in accordance with current plumbing code regulations. The design should eliminate any concealed crevices or pockets that could trap food particles and waste. Such a design will help prevent the accumulation of pests and unpleasant odors. Additionally, the interior of the drain must be unobstructed to ensure effective self-scouring flow. The materials used for both the drain body and cover should be resistant to the corrosive nature of the waste they will handle, ensuring durability throughout the lifespan of the building.
Performance and Safety:
To efficiently manage the expected water flow, every floor drain must feature an appropriately sized outlet. A larger top is required to promote the swift entry of surface water into the drain, which helps to prevent water from pooling in the designated drainage area.
Special Use Floor Drains:
A membrane clamping drain is used particularly in waterproofing applications. The purpose of a membrane clamping drain is to create a watertight seal around the drainage opening to prevent water from leaking into the underlying structure.
The low profile design is often chosen to meet specific space constraints. Low profile drains find application in various settings, including commercial and industrial environments.
