Any operation that deals with high volumes of liquid must have air-tight structures to avoid complications like contamination, water damage, and mold. Breweries are a prime example of such an operation, with its success at least partially dependent on the structural integrity of its environment. Since most attention goes toward the tanks and kettles, the surrounding panels might go overlooked. However, there is risk of leaks, structural damage, and contamination wherever liquid travels, so these are worthy of consideration as well.
This blog introduces PVC panels as the end-all solution for your water-tight requirements, and discusses why this material is the most viable option. Before that, though, a refresher on PVC:
PVC is short for ‘polyvinyl chloride’. The latter part of the first word is where the term ‘vinyl’ comes from. It is a polymer, which is a fancy way of saying different compounds are used to create a synthetic material. Many vinyl wall manufacturers will add liquid metals to strengthen the bond.
The following cover the reasons why you should consider using PVC panels for your brewery construction project:
Perhaps the most important part about the structure of a brewery is its ability to retain liquids and avoid leaks, since all the liquid flowing through the systems must be kept in a certain condition to be profitable. Duramax’s PVC panels are 100% waterproof.
Unlike fiberglass (FRC) panels, PVC materials last for decades, which is why we can offer a lifetime warranty on all our panels without concern. Vinyl is highly resistant to the wear-and-tear that accumulates from continual liquid exposure like rust and rot.
The durability of vinyl panels means they do not accumulate wear like other materials, so its pricing becomes even more cost-effective when you consider continual maintenance costs.
Both the durability and the lack of maintenance contribute to what is already a lower price point per panel, making PVC the obvious choice when you’re looking to get the most out of your brewery construction budget.
Our panels are ASTM certified and FDA compliant; also quality checked. We ensured Kevin that the kitchen would be free from the fire outbreak. The panels have a -hour fire grade also chemical resistant.
