Restaurant Automatic Soap Dispensers

Practical & Hygienic

Like in any other public place, restaurant soap dispensers are used quite frequently and thereby require maintenance as often. The best solution to the continuous need to repair soap dispensers is to switch to the use of an automatic soap dispenser. An automatic soap dispenser is a soap dispenser that detects the presence of the hand and automatically dispenses a fixed amount of soap. It has presence sensors that do the task. This piece of automatic bathroom technology is sure to be a positive upgrade in your restaurant.

Types of automatic soap dispensers
Automatic soap dispensers differ in the type of sensor that they make use of. There are three main types of soap dispensers in use today.

1. Photo sensor

   This type of automatic soap dispenser uses a source of light and a sensor. The source of light emits a focused light ray that is detected by the sensor. Hands brought under the dispenser will disrupt the light ray and this disruption will then activate the sensor. Subsequently, the pump will be activated to dispense the soap.

2. Radar-based sensor

   These soap dispensers use micro-wave emissions which when reflected back by an irregular surface, are detected by a sensor which then dispenses soap. The hands are an irregular surface that will activate the release of soap. Some new forms of radar-based sensors use infrared radiation. There are infrared emitters and controller. The emitter sends outs infrared rays that are then reflected back by the hands. When rays are reflected back to the collector, the pump turns on and the soap is dispensed.

3. Passive infrared sensor

   These soap dispensers have sensors that detect infrared rays that the human body emits. When hands are brought under the nozzle, the infrared rays that they are emitting are detected and this dispenses soap.

One such product is this soap dispenser:

The automatic soap dispensers additionally have sensors that detect the presence of the hands to dispense soap. This sensor can be one of the three types mentioned above. The automatic soap dispenser also has a pump that is activated by the sensor. With these features, the spa dispensers are able to dispense soap automatically in the presence of hands.

Benefit:

• These dispensers are hygienic

In soap bars or soap dispensers that are not automatic, particularly in a public place like a restaurant, the hygienic role of hand washing is destroyed. Contact with the soap bar or the button of the soap dispenser means that germs can be transmitted from one hand to another easily. This bacterial transmission is possible in all soap technologies except automatic soap dispensers. Automatic soap dispensers remove this contamination risk by eliminating the need to make contact with the soap or the button.

• Versatility of use

The automatic soap dispenser bottle can be used for any other liquid as well. Their primary use is for liquid soap but once you have the bottle, you can also use it for lotions, laundry detergents, hand sanitizers etc.

• Use of automatic spa dispensers avoids wastage

The spa dispenser will release only preset increments of the liquid soap and this reduces wastage. Wastage of soap can be particularly problematic in restaurants where its use cannot be controlled or monitored. The automatic technology will only dispense as much soap as is necessary for one hand-wash.

Where can be installed?
Apart from the discussed use of automatic soap dispensers in the restaurant washrooms, there are also a number of other domestic and commercial uses of this technology. It can be used in domestic settings or in other public places like hotels or gyms. They are particularly useful in hospitals where hygiene is a primary concern.

Durability and ease of use
The automatic soap dispenser is easy to use because there is no need to touch a button or a bar of soap. This technology is also more durable than many others because no contact also means less damage to the dispenser. In restaurants, this will mean less need to repair the device.
