Doors and Walls that Help Maintain Efficient Food Operations and Meet Current GMPs

Flexibility and potential cost savings are among the main benefits of fabric walls in any application. Since they are not rigid, they can easily be custom designed to match a facility’s specific needs or workspace and can be moved or reconfigured if those needs change. When combined with antimicrobial wash-down features, this flexibility allows plant managers to achieve cleanliness protocols and production goals without the cost, permanence, or space requirements of rigid walls.

To ensure product integrity, food manufacturing facilities require the most sanitary operations and equipment possible. From high-speed, roll-up doors to antimicrobial wash-down fabric walls, new products are keeping food safe for consumers while meeting FDA and cGMP requirements.
