In food production facilities, restaurant kitchens, and dairies, "hygiene" is a non-negotiable rule. While cleaning benches and equipment is standard, floor drains are often the most fertile areas for bacterial growth. At Enki Metal, we focus on food safety standards (such as HACCP) rather than just water drainage.
The Power of Radiused Design: A hygienic drain should not have sharp corners. Instead of 90-degree angles where dirt can accumulate, radiused (rounded) designs that are easy to clean should be preferred.
304/316 Grade Stainless Steel: Corrosion in food facilities means a bacterial nest. Stainless steel prevents microorganisms from clinging thanks to its smooth surface.
Odor and Pest Protection: Systems with deep odor seals and high discharge capacity strengthen the hygiene barrier of the facility against pests.
Removable Filter Systems: To prevent kitchen waste from clogging the plumbing, drains must have sediment baskets that can be easily removed and cleaned.
