Stonhard Provides Long-term, Hygienic Flooring Solution for a Mozzarella Production Facility
Food Manufacturer Requires Floor Solution to Stand Up to Heavy Cleaning Procedures
Szarvasi Mozzarella is an Italian cheese producer in Hungary. The company is located in the south of Hungary, close to the city of Békéscsaba. In 1992, an Italian investor was looking for a partner in Hungary who could help him to build a factory to produce the well-known Italian cheese – mozzarella. Mr. Miklos Rohony seized the opportunity and after a few years, he established his own company: Szarvasi Mozzarella Kft., which is now one of the best-known mozzarella cheese producers in the country.
Understanding the customers’ needs is a critical component to a Stonhard flooring solution. Szarvasi needed a flooring system for a wet environment where a neutralization machine uses heavy cleaners to neutralize and sanitize the floor.
A competitor's resinous flooring had failed in Szarvasi's challenging environment.
Stonclad UT provides Szarvasi Mozzarella with a seamless, slip-resistant surface designed to withstand heavy cleaners and wet conditions.
Stonhard urethane flooring stands up to thermal shock, chemicals, and daily wear.
An integral cove base at the wall enhances hygiene and durability, ensuring a safe and sanitary environment.
Long-Term Wall Protection Requires the Right Wall System
Szarvasi had low confidence in resin flooring solutions after experiencing prior failures in this environment. Stonhard recommended Stonclad UT, an HACCP-certified, urethane mortar system that withstands thermal shock and is textured for slip resistance. Stonclad UR was used to create a seamless, integral cove base to provide a durable, safe, and sanitary solution.
It is critical that resin flooring is applied to a substrate that is sound and well-prepared. This creates proper adhesion and allows the resin to achieve its full performance characteristics. The previous flooring was removed entirely down to the concrete using scarifying and diamond grinding.
After proper preparation, the Stonhard installation team installed the Stonclad UR cove base followed by the Stonclad UT flooring system. The Stonhard installation team was able to deliver a professional and successful solution, despite the challenge of working around equipment and piping.
