Dairy Done Right

Cleanliness in any food-production facility is paramount. This story is no different for White Rock’s dairy farming operations. Trusscore products are up to the task because they repel water, meaning they withstand repeated soakings and cleanings, day after day, year after year.

Purser chose to install Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard in his parlor room, as well as the milk and tank rooms. Sure enough, after eight years of use at White Rock Farms, Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard is still performing like the day it was installed — standing up to daily cleanings and repeated pressure washing.

“We do a daily washing,” explains Purser. “A lot of times it’s simply water and a brush, and sometimes we will use mild soap. But monthly, we'll pressure wash everything. Trusscore is easy to clean. It wipes off easily and you really don’t have to use a lot of detergent.”

Because Trusscore PVC wall and ceiling panels products shed water, they don’t support the growth of mold or mildew. Products like drywall and FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) panels, on the other hand, not only swell and degrade when they get wet, their cellulose components are a haven for mold and mildew — something that has a zero-tolerance policy in not only milk production facilities but also dairy farms upstream.

Purser has had no trouble with mold since installing Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard. And he has since discovered another benefit: Trusscore dairy board panels are lightweight and can be easily removed and then reinstalled without impacting an overall operation when room-use changes dictate renovations.

“We've been able to go back in where we had tanks going through walls and been able to take our Trusscore product off and put it back together; working with it to create openings for the tanks to come through,” he says. “It's been a product that has worked pretty well for us. We like how Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard performs.”

By investing in Trusscore Wall&CeilingBoard, the White Rock Farms dairy is reaping the benefits of product longevity, cleanability, minimal maintenance, and durability. Benefits that allow Roddy to spend less on infrastructure and free up capacity for him and his team to focus on the task at hand – producing fresh, wholesome milk and dairy products for North Carolina tables.
