A contactless handwash station removes the need to touch taps, soap dispensers or surfaces, cutting cross-contamination in kitchens, food plants and washrooms. The unit senses motion and delivers a measured flow of water and soap without physical contact, so each user starts with clean hands and leaves no residue for the next.

The station operates on an infrared sensor that detects the presence of hands beneath the dispenser. When the sensor is triggered, a solenoid valve opens to release water at a pre-set temperature and volume, while a separate pump dispenses a fixed dose of liquid soap. The sequence is timed to give enough water to rinse, then soap to lather, then a final rinse, all without the operator touching any part of the unit. The sensor resets automatically after each use, ready for the next person.

To use the station, the operator places hands under the spout; the sensor activates the water flow. After a short interval, the soap dispenser releases a dose. Hands are then rinsed under the continuing water flow. The entire cycle completes in seconds, and the station shuts off automatically once hands are removed, conserving water and energy.

The Contactless Handwash Station 2002 is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, ease of cleaning and durability in high-traffic areas. The surface is smooth and seamless, with no crevices where dirt or bacteria can collect, making it suitable for environments that demand strict hygiene standards.

Controls are limited to the infrared sensor and internal programming that governs water temperature, flow duration and soap dosage. These settings are typically adjusted during installation to meet the specific requirements of the site, ensuring consistent performance without daily intervention.

The stainless steel construction means the unit can be wiped down with standard kitchen sanitisers and disinfectants. Regular cleaning involves removing any soap residue from the dispenser nozzle and checking that the sensor lens is free of grime to maintain reliable operation. The seamless design allows for quick drying and prevents water pooling, reducing the risk of limescale build-up.

The station is custom-made to fit the available space, allowing it to be integrated into existing washrooms or installed as a standalone unit in areas where hand hygiene is critical. Its touchless operation makes it particularly useful in settings where frequent handwashing is required, such as professional kitchens, food production facilities and healthcare environments.

Catalogued under contactless hygiene equipment, the Contactless Handwash Station 2002 is positioned for environments where reducing touchpoints is essential to maintaining cleanliness and preventing the spread of contaminants.
