Background:Food Lab Furniture

Customer Background  

Our client is a well-known food research and development company based in the United States, specializing in new product development and food quality testing. As the company's business expands, they plan to upgrade their existing food laboratory to meet higher R&D needs and ensure that the lab complies with FDA and other relevant safety standards. The goal of the project was to provide an efficient, safe, and industry-certified laboratory environment while optimizing the workflow and space layout to enhance the overall functionality and safety of the lab.

Challenges  

1. Space optimization: The client's original laboratory space was relatively tight, and it was a major challenge to rationally configure furniture and equipment within the limited area to ensure maximum laboratory functionality.

2. Resistance to chemicals and materials: Food labs need to be in constant contact with all kinds of chemicals and temperature-controlled equipment, so how to choose materials and furniture that are corrosion-resistant, easy-to-clean, and in line with food safety standards has become a key issue.

3. Modularity and Flexibility: With the growth of business, customers want the laboratory design to be flexible and expandable, so that it is easy to add equipment and reconfigure the space in the future.

4. Compliance with FDA and Food Safety Standards: Laboratory design must comply with FDA food safety and quality testing standards, as well as other international certification requirements.

Solutions  

We provide comprehensive solutions for our clients, including space planning, customized furniture design, equipment integration, and design implementation in compliance with food industry standards.

1. Customized laboratory furniture design

We designed a set of C-frame structure lab bench for the laboratory. All brushed surfaces and cabinets are made of 1.0mm cold rolled steel plate to ensure the furniture is sturdy and durable. The bench top is made of 16mm epoxy resin, which has excellent chemical resistance to most common chemical reagents and meets the strict requirements of the food testing process. In addition, all furniture designs take full account of ergonomics to enhance operational comfort.

2. Modular space layout and flexibility

In order to maximize the utilization of laboratory space, we have adopted a modular design where the layout of furniture and equipment can be flexibly adjusted according to different needs. Each experimental area (e.g., sample handling, analysis, testing, etc.) has been carefully planned to ensure smooth and efficient work between segments. With adjustable workbenches and storage cabinets, the laboratory is able to adapt to future business expansion and equipment renewal.

3. Designed for chemical resistance and ease of cleaning

Considering the frequent use of chemicals in food labs, we chose materials that are resistant to corrosion and chemicals, and ensured that the surfaces of the furniture are smooth and easy to clean. This design not only enhances the hygienic conditions of the laboratory, but also greatly reduces maintenance costs.

4. Compliant with FDA and food safety standards  

Our design solution strictly follows the FDA's food safety and quality testing standards, and all materials and furniture comply with the hygiene, cleanliness and safety requirements of food laboratories. Especially in the food sample storage and handling area, we designed special lockers and equipment to ensure the safety and integrity of food samples throughout the R&D process.

Project results

- Space Optimization: Through rational space layout and furniture configuration, the efficiency of the laboratory has been significantly improved, and the operation process of experimentalists is smoother.

- High chemical resistance and safety: The laboratory furniture is able to effectively resist common chemical reagents in the food industry, which ensures the safety and long-lasting use of the experimental environment.

- Flexibility and Expandability: The modular design gives the lab a high degree of flexibility, allowing it to be quickly adjusted and expanded according to future needs.

- Compliance with industry standards: The design is fully compliant with FDA and food safety related international certification standards, ensuring laboratory compliance.

Customer feedback：

The client spoke highly of our solution, and was particularly pleased with the design of the customized furniture, the choice of materials, and the optimization of the spatial layout. They said that through this project, they have not only improved the overall efficiency of their laboratory, but also provided full support for future expansion and innovation. Our design has helped the client improve accuracy and efficiency in food R&D and quality control processes, further strengthening their competitiveness in the industry.
