Case Study: Rhema Epoxy Resins Transforms Makueni Fruit Processing Plant with Industrial-Grade Flooring
🏭 Project Overview
In 2025, Rhema Epoxy Resins was commissioned to install a high-performance epoxy flooring system at the Makueni Fruit Processing Plant, one of Kenya’s leading agro-processing facilities. The goal was to deliver a durable, hygienic, and chemical-resistant floor solution tailored for the rigorous demands of a food production environment.
📌 Client: Makueni Fruit Processing Plant
Location: Makueni County, Kenya
Industry: Agro-processing (Mango, Orange, Passion Juice Production)
Floor Area: Over 2,000 square meters
Duration: 7 days (including preparation, coating & curing)
🧱 Why Epoxy Flooring for a Food Plant?
Food processing plants like Makueni’s require floors that:
- Are non-porous and seamless, preventing bacterial buildup
- Can resist chemicals, acids, and fruit juices
- Withstand heavy machinery, forklift traffic, and frequent washing
- Are easy to clean, helping meet KEBS and food safety standards
Epoxy flooring meets all these requirements—and more.
🔧 Rhema’s Solution: Industrial Epoxy Coating System
We recommended and installed a 3-layer industrial epoxy floor system:
- Mechanical Surface Grinding – Removal of dust, oils, and surface contaminants
- Epoxy Primer Coat – Strengthened the bond to the concrete substrate
- Self-Levelling Epoxy Coat (3 mm) – Smooth finish, chemical & abrasion resistance
- Anti-Slip Topcoat – Safe for wet environments with regular foot and equipment traffic
We also used food-grade, solvent-free resins to comply with health regulations.
