Resin flooring for the confectionery industry
Continuity of processes, safety of operators, and control of hygienic conditions are central elements in the confectionery industry. Surfaces are constantly exposed to sugars, fats, flours, food residues, and frequent washings, in addition to thermal stresses related to oven lines and mechanical loads due to the handling of equipment and semi-finished products. In this context, flooring directly impacts operational efficiency and the controlled management of environments.
RPM Italia designs and installs resin flooring for the confectionery industry starting from the analysis of individual production phases and real usage conditions. To distinguish between processing areas, technical zones, and spaces dedicated to non-operational personnel, differentiated solutions are developed for thickness and finish, ensuring functional surfaces that are consistent with the hygienic and organizational needs of the facility.
The needs of the confectionery industry and resin solutions
Intensive use of spaces and high levels of hygiene: RPM Italy responds to these needs with resin solutions designed based on the analysis of processing and operating conditions, transforming every critical issue into continuous, safe, and easily manageable surfaces over time.
Custom resin floors for every operational area with RPM Italy
The design of resin flooring for the confectionery industry is custom-made, considering the different phases of the production process and the specific usage requirements. The differentiation in thickness and finish allows for the functional organization of spaces, supporting workflows and improving usability and space management.

The most commonly used resin floors for the confectionery industry
The choice of resin systems for the confectionery industry is made by evaluating the frequency of washings, the presence of food residues, mechanical stresses, and operating temperatures. The adaptation of the system to the operating conditions allows RPM Italia to create flooring that is consistent with the functional needs of production environments.

Design and installation of a floor for the confectionery industry with RPM Italy
The design and installation of a resin floor in RPM Italy follow a precise process. The implementation starts with an analysis of the production phases and operational criticalities, followed by a detailed technical planning aimed at integrating the intervention into existing workflows. Careful management of timelines allows for reducing production downtime and ensuring continuity of activities.
Preliminary analysis of the environment
Every project starts with a technical inspection during which the existing support, environmental conditions, and the usage methods of the floor are analyzed to identify the most suitable resin system and to prevent future issues.
1)
Preparation of the substrate
Targeted mechanical processing, such as sanding, grinding, and shot blasting, is carried out to prepare the concrete substrate, or other types, essential to ensure the adhesion of the resin cycle and the durability of the flooring.
2)
Execution of complementary works
Before or during the installation of the resin floor, complementary works are carried out, namely drainage supports, perimeter edges, and skirting boards. These elements help complete the environment and facilitate cleaning and sanitization.
3)
Application of the resin cycle
Based on the required performance, the installation of the resin floor is carried out following specific cycles. We calibrate thicknesses, finishes, and slip resistance to achieve a continuous, safe, and durable surface.
4)
Final inspection and commissioning
Once the hardening cycle is complete, and thus the catalysis of the product, the surface is ready to be used. At the end of the application, the floor is checked in every detail to ensure safety, continuity, and compliance with the project.
5)
Certifications and technical documentation
6)
At the end of the work, RPM Italia provides the client with the technical documentation related to the applied system, including the certifications required for each sector, to support the needs for monitoring and managing the flooring over time.
