Distributor reel

A reel dispenser can be externally unwinding or internally unwinding. In the case of an externally unwinding reel, it is more a question of an unwinder on which a white or chamois reel is positioned for industry.

External coil distributor

In the case of external reel dispensers that allow the paper to be unwound, reels of 1000 to 1500 formats are used. This type of reel dispenser is installed in industries or workshops for quick and practical provision. These dispensers come in the form of an inverted V on feet or a system to be fixed directly to the wall. These systems are multi-standard except in the case of Tork models which can in some cases only accept the Tork standard.

Central unwinding, economical and hygienic

The central unwinding distribution system is one of the most widespread in the community in central kitchens, communities, food industries, in the kitchens of out-of-home restaurants, self-service, service stations, etc. The main reason is economic in terms of the cost of use and easy provision for users. However, this easy "provision" can quickly become a consumption drain and installing a dispenser capable of managing sheet by sheet like the Tork Reflex or the Lucart Identity can be a good way to control this possible consumption drift.

Central unwinding reel dispenser maxi or mini

There are two sizes of reel dispenser: the maxi which is compatible with 450 format reels and the mini which is compatible with 150 to 210 format reels. The most common is the 450 format central unwind reel dispenser. There are many models of ABS and even stainless steel dispensers to meet different design and integration requirements.
Lotus had innovated with the Lotus Reflex by developing a central unwind dispenser system allowing one sheet to be dispensed at a time. This is in fact the negative point of central unwind reel dispensers where the unwinding is little or not controlled.

The maxi central unwinding distributor

This is the most widespread standard because it allows to accept THE standard of wiping reel on the market which is the 450 format reel . On the other hand, and taking into account the significant number of variants on this reel both in reel height and in format length (therefore in reel external diameter), it will be necessary to check the maximum reel size admissible by the distributor.
At Tork SCA this standard is coded "M2" thus allowing the user to cross without risk reels and associated dispensers. An alternative can also now be to put large autonomy reels in 900 formats whose manufacture is done by compacting the reel as much as possible in order to fit into this type of dispenser.

The mini central unwinding distributor

More compact, the central unwinding mini reel dispenser will be suitable for places with lower consumption, small kitchens, little-used toilets, local food shops, etc. where the space is not necessarily able to accommodate a maxi reel dispenser. In this case, a minimal footprint linked to lower use (passage) will be preferred.
At Tork SCA this standard is coded "M1" .

Tork Reflex M3 and M4 reel dispenser

After its acquisition of Lotus, Tork ensures the continuity of the Lotus Reflex system and is now available as Tork Reflex with two formats.
The Tork Reflex System M3 is the mini system
The Tork Reflex M4 system is the maxi system
In both cases this sheet-by-sheet distribution system will save you up to 37%.
