Hygienic Wall Cladding for the Food and Beverage Industry

Walls are a critical part of maintaining a safe and sanitary food safety system. Sanitary operating conditions are nonnegotiable in the food and beverage industry. Heavy use can strain surfaces such as painted drywall or FRP panels, leading to contamination and compliance risks.

There are many advantages to using hygienic wall cladding in food processing plants and beverage production facilities, such as improved compliance with industry standards, superior durability under high-volume operations and compatibility with aggressive cleaning protocols. SPS CleanTech provides durable, sanitary and fully-compliant food-grade PVC wall cladding for the food industry.

Meet and Exceed Food Safety Compliance Standards

We help food and beverage facilities stay compliant. The nonporous surface and heat-welded seams of hygienic wall cladding stop grout lines and cracks from forming. This prevents pathogens from hiding in damaged areas, helping organizations meet the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) principles and Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) preventable contamination controls. Additionally, the wall cladding panels are easy to clean, which helps facilities meet the building and maintenance requirements set by the Safe Quality Food Institute (SQF) and Brand Regulation Compliance (BRC).

Engineered for Demanding Production Environments

The food and beverage industry is demanding, and the right environment makes all the difference. Hygienic wall cladding for industrial food production facilities simplifies common challenges by providing:

  • Extreme durability: These products are built to last. They can withstand high-volume processing, heavy equipment and multi-shift operations without cracking or chipping. The PVC wall panels come with a 20 year warranty.
  • Clean-in-Place (CIP) compatibility: Aggressive sanitation is crucial for food and beverage production. Hygienic wall cladding is chemically compatible with industrial washdowns and can withstand hot liquid washdowns up to 140 degrees F.
  • Impact resistance: Quality food-grade walls are robust and can protect facilities from impacts from carts, forklifts, and other moving systems.
  • Hygienic, nonporous surfaces: Unlike tiled walls that have porous grout lines, hygienic cladding is installed with heat-welded seams. This creates a smooth, bacteria-free surface.
  • Simplified integration: The panel system is easy to cut and modify on-site, allowing for clean, sealed penetrations for equipment mounts.
  • Various Finishes: The PVC wall panels are available in a variety of colors or printed designs.
  • Easy maintenance: Wall cladding is easier to install and maintain than concrete blocks or tiled walls. This reduces downtime for future maintenance or upgrades.

Industrial food production environments can benefit from a safer, more sanitary environment with fewer maintenance requirements.

The Ideal Solution for Beverage Manufacturing 

Bottling and canning facilities face structural integrity risks without the right protection. Hygienic wall cladding is waterproof and won’t rot, swell or warp in high-moisture or high-humidity environments. This allows facilities to keep production running efficiently without worrying about wall damage from hot-fill processes or cold storage.
