Hand towel dispenser

The different types of distributors

Folded hand towel dispenser

The standard folded hand towel dispenser is suitable for use in washrooms in conjunction with hand washing. There are several widths and several folding methods . The advantage is that this type of system offers a wide range of compatible products.
It will therefore be easy to find, even with a distributor of a brand, several compatible products with a large choice of weight, color, format and folding method.
However, there are several types of folding which do not always allow total compatibility in terms of cartridge width and dispenser width.
We thus distinguish between Z-fold , M-fold and V-fold hand towels .
To avoid any confusion, Tork categorizes these dispensers and associated consumables.
So the Tork H2 system corresponds to M folding, the H2 system to Z folding , the H3 system to V folding .
Tork dispensers, such as the H2 for Z- or M-folds and the H3 for C- or V-folds, make it easy to identify compatibilities. These dispensers are often "non-captive," meaning they can use consumables from different compatible brands.
The same is true for Kimberly Clark with its Aquarius dispensers for Kleenex and Scott hand towels.
Voussert offers a range of hand towel dispensers made from 100% recycled plastic that meet almost all market standards.

Rolled hand towel dispenser

The standard paper towel roll dispenser is distinguished by very specific standards where, as a rule, a roll is associated with a dispenser. These models are also intended for washrooms.

The manual cutting dispenser

There is a manual model for washrooms, commonly called an "autocut" dispenser because its operation is based on automatic paper cutting. After pulling on the part of the hand towel coming out of the bottom of the device, this activates a mechanism that cuts the roll to release the size that the user has entered. The mechanism is 100% manual and requires no electrical power.
Tork and Lucart have developed their systems which are respectively Tork H1 and Lucart Identity.
Both the Tork H1 dispenser and the Lucart Identity dispenser are captive dispensers, meaning that only the brand's hand towel rolls will be compatible. You will therefore not be able to use any products other than those recommended by the brand.
Kimberly Clark, with its Aquarius line, offers a line of roll towel dispensers for Scott Control rolls. The Kimberly Clark SlimRoll dispenser system also offers automatic cutting for Kleenex, Scott Control, and Scott Essential rolls.

The contactless "no touch" dispenser

This is an evolution of the previous dispenser. In this case, the user no longer needs to pull on the paper but to pass his hand in front of the cell of the device which triggers the output and the cutting of the format . The user then only has to grab it. This solution is by far the most hygienic because there is at no time a risk of contact between the user and the device.
Tork offers high-performance, stylish dispensers with the H1 intuition system. The Tork H1 system allows you to adjust the length of the sheet depending on the type of wiping required.

The hand towel roll dispenser

The standard paper towel dispenser roll is generally available in a central unwinding system in maxi format (roll of 450 20x30 cm formats) or mini format (roll of 160 to 210 formats depending on the standard). This standard is mainly used in kitchens because it has the advantage of being economical to purchase in terms of consumables.
