DRAIN SELECTION GUIDE
Which drain system is best for your facility?
Three drain systems are commonly used in commercial and industrial food processing facilities — and many companies choose to install all three.
Area drains
- Drains to a single point area
- Larger rooms require multiple drain devices
- Multiple drain cover options
- Funnels water to a defined point/area
- Requires more excavation
Trench drains
- Common in food and beverage processing plants
- Channels (troughs) vary in size depending on needs
- Efficient at collecting debris and fluids
- Gratings are heavy and take more time to sanitize properly
Slot drains
- Pre-sloped, strong and durable
- Similar channel to trench drains without heavy grates to clean
- Easy to clean and less maintenance — more sanitary
- Easily adapted to automated clean-in-place (CIP) systems with auto-flush channels
