No slips for banana packer

When Windward Banana wanted to upgrade its 3,500m² warehouse in Essex, it called in Ryebrook Resins to lay its Ryetech HT fast-cure floor finish. The resulting floor is extremely durable, providing excellent resilience against abrasion from heavy pallets and fork-lift trucks while providing a safe, slip-resistant seamless surface that is easy to clean.

As a busy packaging facility for bananas imported from the Windward Isles and supplied primarily to Sainsbury and Waitrose, the warehouse is in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. After a successful trial of Ryebrook's advanced resin finish, the remaining warehouse was divided into seven sections of 500m².

The existing unsealed concrete floor of each area was prepared by shotblasting and diamond grinding before applying a single 0.5mm coat of Ryetech HT fast-cure in a light grey. The floor was fully operational within seven hours.
