What is an automatic sanitizer dispenser?
An automatic sanitizer dispenser is a touchless device that uses an infrared sensor to detect the user's hand and dispense a measured amount of hand sanitizer automatically — without any physical contact. This eliminates cross-contamination at the dispenser itself and ensures consistent, hygienic dispensing in public spaces, offices, hospitals, and homes.
What is the difference between automatic and manual sanitizer dispensers?
Automatic dispensers are sensor-operated and require no physical contact — the infrared sensor detects the hand and dispenses a precise dose. Manual dispensers require pressing a lever or pump. For high-traffic public areas like hospitals, schools, and building entrances, automatic (touchless) dispensers are strongly recommended as they prevent cross-contamination at the point of dispensing.
Where are sanitizer dispensers commonly used?
Sanitizer dispensers are essential at building entrances, office lobbies, hospital wards, school entrances, airport terminals, shopping malls, hotels, restaurants, and all public spaces where hand hygiene is a priority. Placing dispensers at entry and exit points is the most effective way to ensure consistent hand sanitization.
What sanitizer can be used in Askon dispensers?
Askon dispensers are compatible with standard liquid hand sanitizers, including WHO-formulated and IS-certified variants. We recommend using sanitizer with appropriate viscosity for pump-based dispensing. Very thick gel sanitizers may require pump adjustment. For best results, use a free-flowing liquid sanitizer.
How to install a sanitizer dispenser?
Installation is straightforward — drill two holes in the wall at the appropriate height, insert the provided wall anchors, and mount the dispenser with screws. For automatic models, connect the power supply (battery or AC adapter depending on the model). All fittings, hardware, and installation instructions are included with every unit.
How to maintain sanitizer dispensers?
Clean the outer body with a damp cloth — avoid abrasive chemicals, especially on stainless steel units. Refill the reservoir before it runs out to prevent the pump from running dry. For automatic dispensers, replace batteries as needed or ensure the AC connection is stable. Periodically clean the nozzle to prevent sanitizer residue buildup from blocking the outlet.
How much sanitizer does an automatic dispenser use per dose?
Askon automatic sanitizer dispensers are calibrated to dispense a precise, measured dose per activation — typically 1–2ml per dispense. This prevents wastage compared to manual dispensers where users can over-dispense. The dose can be adjusted on certain models to suit different sanitizer concentrations and application requirements.
