A paper towel dispenser is a device without which it is difficult to imagine such places as a clinic, restaurant or business center today. This is one of the most important hygiene products you can often find in country houses and apartments.
Purpose of dispenser
In crowded places, there is a risk of spreading infections, which can lead to flu, colds, etc. Careful hand hygiene helps reduce the likelihood of infection, and it is important not only to wash them with soap, but also to dry them. To do this, special dispensers are placed in the toilet rooms, which allow you to have such hygienic materials as paper towels at your fingertips.
They entered our life quite recently - in the eighties of the twentieth century. The first rather bulky dispensers, inside of which mechanical knives were placed, appeared in the offices of Ford and GSM corporations. A paper towel had to be removed from such an assembly with considerable physical effort.
Types of Dispensers
Over time, this device has been greatly improved. Today, a paper towel dispenser is made in a wide variety of options, from plastic and metal. They differ not only in appearance, but also in strength. Plastic appliances are recommended for use in private living spaces. They have a large window, thanks to which it is possible to control the presence of towels, moreover, they are much cheaper than metal and in home use their strength is quite enough.
In public places where there is a large crowd of people, it is more expedient to install stainless steel dispensers. They have high strength and are able to withstand severe physical exertion. This is the most reliable paper towel dispenser. Its price is much higher than that of a plastic device - from 9000 r. and more.
Device type
Dispensers also differ in the type of folding towels inside the device. For medical and educational institutions, public toilets, where the permeability of people is especially high, devices with ZZ-addition are most suitable. The system of dispensing towels in them is quite simple and allows you to use towels both sheet and packaged in rolls. Devices having addition by the Z method are provided for less intensive use.
The simplest and most affordable is the C-fold paper towel dispenser. They are intended for home use, because they are designed for moderate use.
The most modern devices are equipped with touch sensors and are able to dispense a towel automatically, you just have to bring your hands to it. Such a dispenser is programmed for a certain length of the dispensed material and provides maximum comfort, since it does not require touching the holder.
Dispensers for paper towels "Tork"
This is the most popular system used in public places. Tork offers a very wide range of devices that differ not only in design but also in functional capabilities. Many of them are designed to use several varieties of consumables, including those intended for dispensers of other brands.
The Tork devices are made of special impact-resistant plastic or high-quality stainless steel. For more expensive interiors, the company can offer light and stylish aluminum structures with high strength.
Which dispenser to choose
Which model you should stay on depends primarily on the room where you plan to install a paper towel dispenser. For a bathroom or kitchen, a not too expensive plastic device with a C-addition system is quite suitable. With a small load at home, it will last several years. Also, for a house or premises visited only by an elite audience, you can also purchase a sophisticated model with a touch or infrared sensor that gives out flavored and heated towels.
For public places with a tougher load, stainless steel models with the ZZ towel stacking system are recommended.
A dispenser installed in certain hygiene areas will have a positive effect on the company’s image and help save money allocated to maintain cleanliness.
