Food and beverage hygienic linings
Tanks and troughs in food and beverage plants face daily caustic wash-down and hot CIP cycles that ordinary coatings cannot pass on audit.
The need for food and beverage hygienic linings
BHI Coatings performs food and beverage hygienic linings across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. Tanks and troughs in a food and beverage plant get a daily caustic wash-down plus hot clean-in-place cycles. Ordinary coatings chalk, soften, or harbor bacteria under that routine, and then they fail the next audit. A lining that cannot survive CIP forces the plant to choose between a failed inspection and pulling equipment out of the line.
How BHI Coatings does food and beverage hygienic linings
Our crew prepares the food-zone surfaces and applies an NSF-certified hygienic system, the Belzona 5811 immersion-grade coating. The finish is smooth and cleanable so it stands up to repeated caustic wash and hot CIP. The application is cold-cure, so no flame comes anywhere near the food-contact area.
Typically applied with Belzona 5811, matched to the service conditions.
The plant ends up with a cleanable, audit-ready lining rated for incidental food contact and built for daily wash-down.
More Tank & Containment Lining applications
Bund walls spall from the inside out, exposing rebar and opening cold-joint cracks until the wall no longer holds its rated volume.

Learn more →Digester lining and repairKraft digesters carry hot sulfate-rich liquor that thins linings and corrodes every weld and access port over a single campaign.
Learn more →Evaporator, de-aerator and autoclave liningEvaporators, de-aerators, and autoclaves run hot and wet, so conventional linings break down and the shell corrodes at welds and tube zones.
