I need 2 solutions for a bread factory, food grade flooring and air purification
Flooring: they use heavy trolleys (hundreds of KGs) with iron wheels(because the whole trolley goes to oven). so the floor should be able to tolerate the torture and the heat.
Air purification: They need clean air (specifically mold/fungus free air ) where they cool down the breads after baking. The area is without ducts and the air quality in that area is without duct. If they close the area they would need some serious air conditioning like 10-12 tons.
i would write down the factors into a lose performance speck and go to the floor manufactures with the heat of the wheels coming out of the oven, the anti microbial requirements, and the point load. this situation would probably have a limited set of options. This is tricky for the floors.
For the AC I would consult a mechanical engineer that has clean room experience. It can be done, the heat and conditions in computer chip manufacturing have similar requirements for air purity and cooling.
they suggest the same floor in your link as is in the picture I posted...also simply doing a google image search 'bakery floor' will give you exactly what you're looking for, even with installation pictures and everything.
Silikal Dexotex, Stonhard will all make industrial flooring systems that will be USDA approved for commercial food uses and will have load capacity for wheeled traffic. You are looking for resinous flooring, either polyurethane or epoxy based. Epoxy floors come in more colors but are subject to UV damage.
As far as AC is concerned, you should ask MEPnect.com/forum/ or something instead. We have no idea.

Hire an HVAC consultant and a good spec writer.
We're supposed to do your research for you?
Consulting starts at $500 / hr.
Hemp is used as construction material. And it does not catch fire. I don't know whether that is food grade or not.
Maybe hemp is not great for flooring. How about natural wood flooring? That I'm sure is food grade.
natural wood is not food grade
Make it out of Christmas fruitcake. That stuff is indestructible.
Did googling 'bread factory floor' not get you anywhere?

I happen to have an image on my desktop somewhere:
Think you can do the rest yourself?
