Create Allergen And Hygiene Controlled Zones With Food Grade Flexible Partitions

If you run a food production site, you’ll know just how important it is to stay on top of your allergen and hygiene control. It’s not simply a legal requirement, it’s essential for consumer safety. In some cases, allergen contamination really is a matter of life and death.

With regulations such as BRCGS, HACCP, and the Food Safety Act setting high standards, food factories must be able to implement effective zoning to prevent cross-contamination.

However, traditional fixed structures like block walls or steel partitions can make this a costly and inflexible task. That’s where food-grade flexible partitioning systems offer a clever, compliant, and cost-effective solution.

Why Flexible Partitioning?

Food production can be a dynamic business depending on seasonal fluctuations and the regular introduction of new ranges and products. However, installing fixed partitioning can be disruptive, expensive and difficult to adapt as your production processes evolve. Hygienic zoning in the food industry needn't come with a steep price tag or operational disruption.

Flexible factory partitioning, such as food-grade PVC curtains and modular tension walls, provide a highly adaptable alternative. Designed to be quickly installed with minimal disruption, they allow businesses to create allergen and hygiene zones around live production environments without halting operations.

Whether you’re isolating a line for a gluten-free product run or temporarily increasing hygiene controls during a peak season, flexible partitions offer the control you need without compromising productivity.

Safe, Compliant and Built for Food Environments

Flexible partition systems are manufactured using food-safe, flame-retardant, antibacterial materials that are fully compliant with hygiene zoning standards. These materials are easy to clean, resistant to mould and bacteria and built to withstand harsh production environments.

From sealing off dust or steam heavy areas to segregating allergens, managing odour containment and preventing machinery from becoming contaminated with food particulate, these systems deliver robust performance across a wide range of food-based applications.

Tailored to Your Production Needs

We know every food production site is different and therefore any allergen containment solution must be designed for your production line’s specific needs.

Common uses include:

1. Isolating allergen production zones (e.g. nuts, dairy, gluten)
2. Containing airborne particles such as steam, dust or spray
3. Segregating clean and dirty zones within shared environments
4. Creating pop-up hygiene zones for new processes or audits

Because flexible partitioning is modular, you can scale up or down depending on production shifts or regulatory needs. Tension wall systems can be custom-sized and relocated as needed, allowing for dynamic space management as your operation grows.

Minimising Downtime, Maximising Compliance

Choosing the right partitioning solution involves balancing hygiene compliance, downtime impact, material durability and long-term adaptability. We work closely with food manufacturers to deliver solutions that meet the safety standards you require while supporting operational agility.

Whether you need a temporary hygiene curtain or a long-term modular wall system, our team can help you design, install, and maintain a solution that supports your business goals.
