ACO Hygienic Floor Drain is a floor drainage system engineered with strict hygienic design principles, suitable for use in environments demanding the highest levels of cleanliness. It has the following features and details
Key Features- Hygienic Design: Complies with hygienic design standards and guidelines (e.g., EN 1672, EN ISO 14159, EHEDG) to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination.
- Full Drainability: Designed with a sloping internal base towards the outlet to ensure complete drainage, eliminating stagnant water and potential microbial growth.
- Rounded Internal Corners: Features internal radii of at least 3 mm to facilitate thorough cleaning and prevent the accumulation of dirt and bacteria.
- Hygienic Joints: Utilizes fully welded butt joints to avoid metal-to-metal contact in non-dismantled areas, preventing bacteria from harboring in crevices.
- Crevice-Free Design: The drain body is typically deep-drawn with smooth contours, eliminating areas where bacteria can reside.
- Seamless Integration: Designed for a smooth transition with the surrounding floor, minimizing the risk of floor cracks that could harbor microorganisms.
- Easy to Clean and Maintain: Manufactured from non-porous stainless steel, allowing for easy cleaning and disinfection. The design facilitates thorough inspection and cleaning.
- Corrosion Resistance: Made from high-grade stainless steel (typically AISI 304 or 316L) for excellent resistance to corrosion from water, chemicals, and temperature variations.
- Slip-Resistant Grates: Various grate options are available with slip-resistant surfaces to enhance safety.
- Variety of Sizes and Outlets: Available in different sizes and with vertical or horizontal outlet options to suit various flow requirements and installation conditions.
- Adjustable Height Options: Some models offer adjustable height to accommodate different floor constructions and waterproofing membranes.
