Soap dispensers offer a hygienic and convenient way to wash hands. They can be used to dispense liquid or foam soap, as well as hand sanitizer. They also promote regular handwashing and help prevent the spread of germs.

Stern offers a wide variety of touchless automatic soap dispensers to meet your needs and aesthetic preferences. These dispensers are ideal for high-traffic areas and feature motion sensors to ensure touchless operation.

• Air Suction Mechanism Explained

Soap dispensers work through a combination of moving parts and air suction to dispense soap effectively. They also need to be regularly cleaned to ensure that the pump and other components are free from clogging or residue buildup. For this reason, it’s important to choose a dispenser that has a strong, durable housing and a reliable pump mechanism.

An automatic soap dispenser works by using a motion sensor or button to activate the motor and push a piston or diaphragm. This creates a vacuum that draws the soap up through the dispenser nozzle and into the user’s hand. It’s an effective way to save soap and reduce waste in washrooms.

Concealed soap dispensers can be installed behind a mirror, wall, or deck and are great for maximizing space in your bathroom. Stern offers a wide range of stylish touchless soap dispensers and foam dispensers that can be hidden to create a clean, modern look in your home.

• Gravity and the Pump System

A soap dispenser uses air suction power and works against gravity to dispense the liquid. When you push the pump head, it creates a vacuum that draws liquid soap up into the chamber and pushes it through the nozzle. The pump also has a spring that returns it to its original position after dispensing.

These touchless automatic soap dispensers are ideal for public restrooms, offices, schools, cafeterias, and hospitals. They are easy to install, operate, and refill. This touchless technology reduces cross-contamination and helps keep hands clean.

The dispensers use a motion sensor that “watches” the area where people wash their hands. When the sensor detects movement, it triggers the dispenser to dispense soap. The dispenser then shuts off after a preset time. Some models even have a timer circuit that shuts off the water or soap valve when the set amount of time has passed. They also include a window that prevents soap and water from overflowing the sink.

• Foam vs. Liquid Soap

Soap dispensers are a touchless, efficient way to distribute soap solutions and hand sanitizers. They conserve soap and help stem the spread of germs, which is a concern in public restrooms. Moreover, they help prevent waste by dispensing only the predetermined amount per motion activation.

Stern offers a wide range of automatic dispensers that can be mounted on different wall and deck types. This allows you to choose the best solution for your washroom design needs and aesthetic preferences.

Liquid soaps and foam soaps are both available as dispenser options. Liquid soaps begin as a liquid and are then aerated to create a soft, rich lather when pumped. Foam soap is also a liquid substance that is aerated to produce a thick consistency when dispensed. Choosing the best type of soap depends on your budget, style preference, and sustainability concerns. For example, liquid soaps are often made of natural ingredients that are environmentally friendly compared to foam soap.

• Touchless Sensor Technology

Soap dispensers are common in homes and workplaces, making hand washing more convenient. Understanding how these pumps work is important for proper maintenance and ensuring that they continue to function correctly. The key to the operation of a soap dispenser is the pump mechanism, which consists of several parts that work together to draw soap from the container and dispense it when the pump is activated. Some dispensers also aerate soap to improve its texture and reduce the amount needed for each use.

Automatic soap dispensers are battery-powered, and they dispense liquid or foam soap when a sensor detects movement near the dispenser mouth. They are available in a variety of styles, and some have the ability to dispense hand sanitizer as well. They can be installed in conjunction with touchless faucets or as standalone units. Stern offers a wide range of touchless soap dispensers, including concealed models that fit neatly into the wall or counter.
