Flexibility is Paramount: Modular Drainage Solutions for Commercial Kitchens and Food Production Facilities

Drainage systems in commercial kitchens and food production facilities are critical to operational efficiency and hygiene. These systems must cater to unique requirements, including hydraulic performance, load rating, slip resistance, and ease of cleaning and maintenance.

Each facility layout is unique, often designed to enhance workflow efficiency. Machinery, equipment, and workstations are strategically positioned, with services configured to suit the space. This often calls for customised drainage solutions that can meet project-specific performance demands.

Allproof’s CK Series commercial kitchen channel has long been a preferred choice for projects requiring fully customised drainage systems. Installers can specify:

• Size and depth
• Outlet position and quantity
• Grate options, including heelproof wedge wire or slip-resistant ladder grates

While custom systems offer excellent flexibility, they require lead time for design, fabrication, and finishing. This may not suit projects with tight deadlines or fast-moving construction schedules.

To meet the demand for quicker installation without compromising quality, Allproof developed the MC Series modular channel system. This innovative solution provides:

• Off-the-shelf availability for immediate use
• Bolt-together assembly with gaskets and end caps
• Standard outlet compatibility with 100mm PVC or HDPE pipe
• Double strainer baskets for improved maintenance
• Anti-float tags and 15mm epoxy-filled safety edges for secure installation

The MC Series comes in 100mm and 200mm clear openings, with one-metre and two-metre lengths available in 100mm or 125mm depths. A joiner channel with a built-in fall ensures water flows efficiently, while sump options suit either channel width, providing 200mm and 300mm clear openings.

The MC Series provides unparalleled versatility. Examples include:

• Chiller Door Drainage – One-metre channel and sump with slip-resistant ladder (SRL) grate for heavy wheel loads and fast foot traffic.
• Canteens or Restaurant Kitchens – One-metre channel with centre outlet and heelproof wedge wire grate, creating a safe drainage solution for food service areas.
• Food Production Factories – 200mm clear opening channels with long runs (up to six metres per sump), ideal for managing large volumes of wastewater.

By using modular components, installers can design and assemble customised layouts on-site, ensuring rapid installation and alignment with project timelines.
