While in entertainment and recreational establishments, the focus is given to aesthetics, in the case of food processing, the priority is maintaining hygiene and safety at every step. Choosing the construction material for indoor walls in such facilities is one of the critical jobs that a facility owner is tasked with. 

While there are many options available for indoor paneling, PVC Panels are instrumental in providing optimal protection against moisture and mold growth. Moreover, their durable and sturdy construction makes them a relevant choice for commercial spaces. Additionally, the lightweight construction and modern interlocking techniques make them convenient to handle and install.

In a typical food processing unit, maintaining hygiene and keeping contamination at bay is always the priority. Ideally, the material chosen should have the following attributes:

• 
  Chemical-resistance
• 
  Durability
• 
  Low maintenance
• 
  Easily cleanable
• 
  Fire-resistance
• 
  It should be resistant to bacterial contamination and mold formation

Reasons why PVC panel is preferred for food processing unit walls

In recent times, the popularity and deployment of PVC panels in food-centric business establishments have shot up substantially. This is owing to the fact it meets the eligibility for use in walls of food processing units better than other materials. PVC Panels tick all the boxes for setting up walls and ceilings in dedicated food processing units. PVC Panels are the perfect blend of functionality, sustainability, and affordability that makes for the ideal solution for food processing units. Moreover, these panels’ seamless and smooth finish help enhance the aesthetics of food processing spaces without compromising on important attributes. Check out the features that make PVC Panels popular among food processing unit owners.

Ideal for maintaining hygiene

Food processing zones should be built with materials that prevent contamination and help maintain hygiene round the clock. Steel plates and Duramax PVC Panels have smooth, clean surfaces with hidden fasteners, so there are no ridges visible for bacteria to build. Duramax complies with FDA and CFIA requirements for making walls and ceilings. Duramax Panels also come with an antibacterial coating that prevents the buildup of fungus and mold formation to keep contamination at bay.

Better tolerance to chemicals and sanitizing agents

In food-based business setups, including processing units and commercial kitchens, clean-up with chemical sprays, fluids, and sanitizers is a daily affair. This is essential to keep such places clean, free of germs, and safe for dealing with foods. However, porous surfaces like concrete and wood do not withstand exposure to chemical cleaners well. A Waterproof PVC Panel can cope with chemical cleanup exposure much better.

Enhanced durability to regular wear and tear

In food processing zones, it is commonplace to witness procedures involving steam generation, temperature variation, and alteration in humidity levels. The walls in such places should be made with materials that can easily cope with temperature and humidity variations. Wood fares rather poorly in this regard. Steel panels are durable, but they are prone to developing marks of hard water scaling-which mars the appearance. Duramax PVC Panels do not get affected much by such factors. The surface is also scratch and stain resistant, so it remains sleek and neat for decades.

Low maintenance and ease of cleaning

Commercial food processing zones are constantly busy with activities, and the staff only gets a little time for clean-up as it is. However, routine cleaning is necessary to uphold hygienic standards. So, the walls and ceilings should preferably be built with materials that can be cleaned efficiently. Smooth surfaces are especially crucial when cleaning time is limited. PVC Panels pose a smooth, crevice-free surface that is easy to clean and maintain without much effort or rigorous cleaning. A simple wipe-down or pressure hose-down can help keep the facility clean and spot-free.

Superior Fire resistance

Using safe materials and procedures is quite important in commercial food processing setups. Usage of high voltage devices, appliances and application of high levels of heat and pressure are common in these setups. So, it makes sense to pick materials for setting up flame-retardant walls and partitions. In this regard, PVC Panels are ideal as it is offered with a Class A Fire Rating.

Overall, there are many wall panel options to use in food processing units. Cost, installation, and maintenance should be the main factors to consider when deciding on a wall system solution.
