A channel within the floor, to reduce the number of individual drainage points.
The system is designed with gratings to allow drainage into the
channel, while carrying various loads.
The channel is manufactured from stainless steel to create a water tight
system that can include a built-in fall to any number of outlet options.
Details
Component Developments offer a comprehensive range of drainage channels
to suit any application and floor finish, combined with the ability
to produce bespoke systems to meet site requirements.
All our drainage channels are designed to be used in conjunction with
the 5000 series gullies, with the 3000 and 6000 series both utilising
the 4000 series gratings.
Channels are manufactured from austenitic stainless steel grade 304 of
316 to BS 1449 part 2 1983 in lengths only limited by transportation and
site logistics.
Advantages
High standard of hygiene – health hazards associated with
cracks or seepage at joints are eliminated.
Built-in fall means no surveying equipment required. Levelling bolts
provide fine height adjustment.
Channels manufactured on CNC (computer numerically controlled) equipment.
Minimal welding reduces bacteria breeding traps. Where welds are necessary
(stop ends, junctions, outlets), they are ground as smooth as is practical.
Mechanical joint system. Strong proven joint, no failures over the
last 20 years. Gasket allows slight tolerance on site and allows expansion
of channels.
Electrolytically polished. This hygienic finish has proven low-count
swab test results. Also reduces potential corrosion in aggressive
environments.
Choice of gratings. Mesh type for deluge situations, pressed for
wash-down. Loadings from pedestrian to 5 ton forklift traffic.
Strong, hygienic, functional and attractive solution to floor drainage
design.
Minimum channel depth of 50mm.
Ideal for use where there is a lot of water or waste matter, direct
discharge from process equipment into floor drainage creating deluge
and turbulence and where channels interconnect with a number of gullies.
