Food and beverage operations require specialized equipment engineered for temperature extremes and sanitary conditions. Our cold chain storage systems, washdown-rated conveyors, and hygienic storage solutions are built with stainless steel construction, sealed bearings, and materials designed for frequent cleaning.
From freezer-rated conveyor systems operating at -20°F to high-pressure washdown equipment, we provide the specialized hardware your operation needs. Our hygienic conveyor designs feature open frames for easy inspection, tool-less belt removal for cleaning, and components rated for the demanding conditions of food processing environments.
Non-hygienic equipment designs — hollow tubing, crevices, porous surfaces — create harborage points that fail sanitation audits and expose facilities to FDA Form 483 observations and costly corrective action requirements.
Equipment that requires extensive disassembly for cleaning can consume 2–4 hours per shift in sanitation time, directly reducing production hours and increasing labor costs without improving food safety outcomes.
Standard warehouse equipment not rated for freezer or chilled environments fails prematurely in temperature-controlled spaces, causing unexpected downtime and creating temperature excursions that compromise product safety and shelf life.
Foreign material contamination from worn conveyor components, improper materials, or inadequate inspection systems leads to costly recalls, regulatory action, and lasting brand damage that far exceeds the cost of proper equipment.
Hygienic conveyor design starts with the elimination of harborage points — every surface, joint, and fastener is designed so that cleaning solutions can reach and rinse it completely. Open-frame stainless steel structures, sloped surfaces that prevent pooling, and tool-less belt removal that enables complete access within minutes are the foundation of a sanitation-friendly system.
Cold chain systems add sealed bearings rated for temperature cycling, lubricants that remain stable at sub-zero temperatures, and drive components designed to operate reliably when materials contract in cold environments. High-speed freezer doors and air curtain systems preserve temperature zones while allowing efficient product flow between ambient and refrigerated areas.
FloStor engineers each system to meet your specific regulatory environment — whether that means 3-A Dairy standards, USDA meat and poultry requirements, or FDA FSMA preventive controls — and documents the design decisions that support your Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls (HARPC) plan.
