Features of sensory dispensers for liquid soap

Mechanical dispensers for liquid soap are often found in apartments and public places. They look more modern and stylish compared to ordinary soap dishes, but they are not without drawbacks. This is primarily due to the fact that the device has to be used with dirty hands, which leads to the appearance of soap stains and dirt on its surface.

More convenient and practical is the model of the touch type. It involves the use of non-contact dispenser - just hold up your hands, after which the device gives the necessary amount of detergent. The dispenser stays clean and the user does not risk “catching up” the bacteria during operation, since it does not touch the device with his hands.

Touch dispensers for soap are devices that provide a portion of the supply of liquid soap. Instead of soap, you can also pour shower gels, liquid creams, or other caring products into them. Appearing in Europe, such units are widely used in public places. Although such “soap dishes” are widely used not only in the bathrooms of shopping centers and similar establishments, but also in ordinary apartments and houses.

The popularity of devices is explained by their numerous advantages:

• the possibility to reduce the time of hygienic procedures;
• ease of use (just bring your hands to the unit to get the necessary amount of soap);
• easy pouring of detergent due to wide openings;
• the variety of design options and colors that allows you to choose a device that matches the style of the bathroom;

• economical consumption of soap;
• the ability to adjust the amount of detergent (1 to 3 mg at a time);
• universality of use (you can pour soap, shower gels, shampoos, dishwashing detergents, gels and body lotions into the device);
• safety (when using there is no contact between the device and human hands, which reduces the risk of transmission of bacteria during operation).

Touch dispenser consists of several elements.

• The detergent container takes up most of the device. It may have a different volume. The minimum is 30 ml, the maximum - 400 ml. The volume is usually selected depending on the place of use of the dispenser. For public bathrooms with more traffic, dispensers of maximum volume are more suitable. For domestic use, tanks with a capacity of 150-200 ml are optimal.
• Batteries or connectors for finger batteries. Usually they are located behind the container for soap and are not visible to users.
• Built-in infrared sensor that responds to movement. Due to its presence it is possible to ensure contactless operation of the dispenser.
• Dispenser connected to detergent container. It provides for the collection of a given portion of soap and its supply to the user.

Almost all models on the market today have a backlight, which makes the use of devices even more convenient. The presence of a sound signal in some of them also makes the operation more comfortable. The sound becomes evidence of proper operation of the unit.

Depending on the type of dispenser, there are two types of dispensers.

1. Static. Such devices are also called wall, because they are fixed on the wall. Used such dispensers mainly in public bathrooms.
2. Mobile. They can be installed anywhere, and if necessary, easily transported. The second name for this type of device is desktop.

Depending on the material used, the devices are divided into three types.

1. Plastic - the easiest and most affordable. They may have a different volume.
2. Ceramic - the most expensive. They are distinguished by reliability, variety of design and great weight.
3. Metallic products are characterized by increased strength, usually made of stainless steel.

Depending on the method of filling automatic dispensers are divided into two types.

• Bulk. They are equipped with flasks into which liquid soap is poured. When the product is finished, it is sufficient to pour it (or something else) into the same flask again. Before refilling the liquid, it is necessary to rinse and disinfect the flask each time, this is the only way to ensure the hygienic nature of the device. Bulk-type dispensers are more expensive because the manufacturer makes money by selling the devices themselves and not by selling consumables.

• Cartridge. In such devices, the soap was also initially poured into the flask, but after it ends, the flask should be removed. In its place is set a new flask filled with detergent. Cartridge models suggest the use of soap only a certain brand. They are more hygienic. Dispensers of this type are cheaper, since the main item of expenditure of the owner of the device is associated with the purchase of cartridges.

Differences dispensers may be due to the shape of the exit washing liquid.

There are three main options.

• Jet. The inlet is quite large, the fluid is jetted. Such dispensers are suitable for liquid soap, shower gels, antiseptic compositions.
• Spray. Convenient, because due to the spraying of the composition, the entire surface of the palms is covered with detergent. Suitable for liquid soap and antiseptic.
• Foam. This dispenser is used for soap-foam. The device is equipped with a special beater, due to which the detergent is converted into foam. The issuance of foam is considered more convenient and economical. However, such devices have a higher cost.

It is important that the detergent used is appropriate for the type of dispenser. For example, if a soap foam is used in a dispenser with a large outlet (jet type), the tool will not foam (since the dispenser does not have a beater). Moreover, the soap-foam in its original form resembles water in consistency, so it can simply flow out of a wide opening. If, however, in the dispensers for the foam to use the usual liquid soap, then the outlet can quickly become clogged, due to the thicker consistency of the tool.

The kitchen often uses embedded models that are placed directly on the sink countertop. For the installation of such a device requires only screws and bolts.
