Multi-award-winning company Moo Free Chocolates turned to flooring specialists RESYN for advice with their new factory polyurethane flooring.
Moo Free are one of the world’s leading manufacturers of dairy-free, gluten-free, organic and vegan chocolates. They needed factory polyurethane flooring for their new processing plant that’s been purpose-built to help increase their production capacity and storage facilities.
New factory flooring
Moo Free was created in 2010 and has expanded yearly due to increased demand. They now sell to over 35 countries worldwide. The new factory, totalling 260m2, incorporates the main production facility, conche room, engineers’ workshop and NPD room.
Due to manufacturing and cleaning processes, the company was looking for a seamless, hard-wearing floor finish. During production, we couldn’t use water to clean the floors as the sugar within the chocolate will absorb the moisture and can cause the chocolate to bloom. As a result, we scraped the floors with metal scrapers until a full clean-down could be undertaken.
Flow-applied polyurethane flooring
Aware of RESYN’s expertise within the industry, Moo Free Chocolates approached the company for advice on the most suitable factory polyurethane flooring system. We chose the Pumadur MD system by Resdev to meet the company’s requirements. The system is a heavy-duty flow-applied polyurethane flooring, with a smooth matt finish. The system offers excellent abrasion resistance, making it ideal to complement their operational processes.
Epoxy resin flooring for warehouse areas
The factory also integrates a new warehousing facility and the chocolate manufacturer was looking for a reasonably priced resin system to seal the existing concrete. We installed a high-build, solvent-free two-pack epoxy resin to 363m providing a protective coating.
Simon March, Engineering Manager at Moo Free Chocolates commented, “Having used RESYN on various projects previously around other blue-chip companies, I was confident I would receive great service at the right price with great results. The factory polyurethane flooring is perfect for our business needs.”
