What is an automatic soap and foam dispenser?

How is an automatic foam soap dispenser different from a standard soap dispenser? Soap Dispensers can use liquid dish soap, liquid hand soap, and alcohol-based hand sanitizer based on alcohol. Foaming soap dispensers blend air with the soap during the dispensing process to create the foam. The soap in the dispenser does not start in foam form. The main difference between liquid soap dispensers and foaming soap dispensers is the valve that controls the mixture of air and soap.

Are automatic soap and foam dispensers more sanitary?

Automatic dispensers are the best solution to help maintain your bathrooms area, kitchens, and any facility by reducing cross-contamination between users. They are touchless & automatic, thus preventing the spread of germs & bacteria during the use of the dispenser. Of course, they can’t prevent the transfer of germs or bacteria when touching the stall door, the bathroom door, the toilet, or any other part of the facility. However, you have to start somewhere, and our soap dispensers are a great place to start.

What kind of automatic soap dispenser suits your needs?

As we mentioned earlier, there are three types of touch-free automatic electronic soap dispensers:

The visible types: the deck-mounted or the wall-mounted soap dispensers compel us to consider visibility, as well as functionality. So beyond design for functional purposes, we’ve made sure to invest our attention in the materials and the types of finishes we could provide for these products. You can choose from a variety of finishes, the most popular among them being the chrome-plated body. For better functionality, we’ve added a low-battery indicator to some of our models.
So how do you choose? By deciding which design best fits your commercial bathroom.
