Technical Porcelain Stoneware Flooring for a Dairy Facility in Reggio Emilia
Cipa Gres Solutions for Dairy Processing Environments
In Reggio Emilia, a major dairy factory chose Cipa Gres for the installation of a technical floor capable of withstanding the typical conditions of the dairy sector: high-pressure washing, significant thermal variations (liquids spilled on the floor can reach 100°), and constant contact with lactic acids and fatty substances. The goal: to create a hygienic, safe and durable surface, compliant with the Haccp standards required in food production environments.
A continuous floor for high-sanitization environments
The project involved operational areas subject to daily washing with aggressive detergents and strong temperature fluctuations. To ensure maximum efficiency, a continuous full-body porcelain stoneware floor Cadore from the Graniti collection was installed, in the 12.5×25 cm format and 14 mm thickness, with INDUSTRIA PROEPOXI grouting by Cipa Gres. The Rustico R11 A+B+C surface ensures constant grip even in the presence of moisture, whey and condensation—conditions frequently found in dairy processing environments.
Hygiene and resistance for the food industry
The zero porosity of full-body porcelain stoneware (≤0.05%) prevents the absorption of liquids and organic substances, counteracting bacterial proliferation and maintaining high levels of hygiene. Thanks to its resistance to thermal shock and chemical products used in industrial cleaning, the floor maintains its aesthetic and functional characteristics over time, even in areas exposed to steam or water at 100°.
Full-body flooring for food-processing areas
In environments where the floor remains constantly wet, staff safety is an essential requirement. The R11 finish ensures excellent slip resistance without compromising ease of cleaning and maintenance, while the continuity of the surface facilitates drainage and speeds up sanitization procedures. The result is a technical floor that combines high mechanical performance, safe use, and simplified maintenance.
Cipa Gres designs full-body porcelain stoneware technical floors for dairies, dairy-processing industries and food-production facilities, where hygiene, resistance and durability are essential for daily productivity.
