Case Study - Butchery Tables for Fairfax Meadow
Fairfax Meadow wanted to expand and improve its butchery processing area. They wanted to invest in their meat preparation area to ensure they had safe, compliant equipment that facilitated clean down processes to deliver cleanliness excellence. The materials used to manufacture the products reduced the risk of contamination and allowed the area to be thoroughly cleaned after each process.
The butchers block work surface was manufactured from HDPE(PE300) which is a high density polyethylene widely used in food sectors. Polyethylene or P/E is a very popular engineering thermoplastic which is prized for its very low friction and abrasion resistance. It is extremely touch, cost effective and also has very good chemical resistance/ impact strength.
The butchery table was manufactured from 40mm x 40mm x 2mm 304 stainless steel box section, 40mm x 40mm x 3mm 304 stainless steel angle and 40mmx 10mm304 stainless steel flat. The approx size of table was 1250mm (length) x 750mm (width) x 840mm (overall height) and the table is fitted with M12 x 50mm S/S adjustable feet.
