Industrial Soap Dispensers Types and Styles

Find the best type of hand soap dispenser for your workplace

Industrial soap dispensers are key to the health and well-being of employees and customers. A good commercial soap dispenser dispenses soap in an efficient and sanitary manner that allows the user to clean his or her hands and minimizes the spread of dirt and germs to other users.

There are many industrial soap dispenser types and styles, ranging from an automatic soap dispenser to an industrial foam dispenser. As you begin looking for an industrial soap dispensing device, consider which of the following best suits your needs:

1. Standard plastic liquid soap dispenser

2. Decorative soap dispenser

3. Commercial touchless soap dispenser

 

Browse for a standard commercial soap dispenser

You know the standard style of industrial soap dispenser. You've probably seen it in countless public restrooms throughout your life. It is typically made from white or beige plastic and has a dispensing mechanism that the user pushes or pulls. Yes, it is utilitarian, but it is inexpensive and it does the job well.

Check out decorative industrial soap dispensers

Decorative industrial soap dispensers stand out. When paired with matching room decor, they tell your customers and employees that you are a business that cares about fine detail and quality. Often, decorative soap dispensers will be recessed in a countertop, but some styles are hung on a nearby wall.
Try: Fixture Universe, from Allied Trade Group, is an excellent place to check out dozens of styles of decorative soap dispensers. Some are freestanding, while others need to be mounted on a wall or countertop. PlumberSurplus.com has a good selection of soap dispenser styles that can be recessed in a counter.

Consider an automatic hand soap dispenser

These days, the desire for a sanitary sink area is leading more and more businesses to install automatic industrial soap dispensers. The user of a commercial touchless soap dispenser does not have to actually touch the device. Instead, a sensor determines when the user has placed his or her hand underneath the dispenser, and soap is automatically dispensed into the user's hand. This style of electric soap dispenser also reduces waste and soap spillage. Automatic dispensers cost a bit more than other styles, but many businesses believe the benefits are worth the extra price.
Try: Touch-Free Concepts is a good place to view several styles of automatic soap dispensers. SoapDispensers.com explains the differences between styles of automatic soap dispensers.
