Hand towel dispenser

Folded paper towel dispenser sheet by sheet

These dispensers are generally multi-standard , but there are also different widths that will work perfectly with the appropriate paper towel standard. There are M, C, V and Z folds . The width (in the depth direction from the wall) of the cartridge can therefore be different.
Choosing a hand towel cartridge that is too small for a dispenser designed for a V will result in overconsumption because the sheets will come out in handfuls instead of sheet by sheet.
In the case of a narrow dispenser designed for example for a Z, a wider cartridge will fit with difficulty and therefore dispensing will be hampered.
It is therefore important to choose the right consumable for the dispenser . It is not mandatory to choose the brand's consumable because there are many compatibilities, but pay attention to the type of folding which must be related to your device.

The "Tork system" standards to help you find your way:

Z or M fold hand towels are called "system H2"
C or V-fold hand towels are called "system H3"

The advantage of this type of device is that it is multi-standard and therefore " non-captive ".

Rolled hand towel dispenser

In this case the coil is put into the device and it can be of different lengths, textures, thicknesses and widths.
There are two types of devices: manual cutting dispensers (autocut) and automatic infrared cell dispensers .
In the case of an autocut device , it is the user who pulls on the sheet coming out of the hand towel which causes a mechanical and automatic cutting of the roll. Thus the user will have to perform this "hand towel grip" gesture by pulling on it to obtain a sheet. This system is completely mechanical and therefore has no electrical power supply .
In recent years, a new generation of dispensers equipped with a detection cell has appeared. In this case, the user only has to pass their hand in front of the cell for the dispenser to deliver a hand towel. The main advantage is the guarantee of perfect hygiene because in this case there is no contact between the user and the device. The only contact is between the user and the hand towel they are going to use.
On the other hand, this requires a device powered by electricity (usually batteries) and we are often in the situation of a "captive" device which will not accept any other coil than the one for which it was designed.
