ANTI-BACTERIAL STATION

Automatic hand sanitiser dispensers for kiosks and self service environments

Automatic hand sanitiser dispensers have become standard accessories wherever users interact with touchscreens, payment terminals or parcel lockers. This category focuses on industrial units with large capacity tanks – for example 5 litre models – battery operation and infrared sensing, so the user receives the correct amount of sanitiser without touching the device. The range includes floor stand sanitiser stations, wall mounted dispensers, integrated modules for kiosk front panels and bracket mounted solutions that can be fixed directly next to self service terminals. Manufacturers are selected from the same industrial ecosystem that supplies kiosk components, so the sanitiser hardware matches the mechanical strength and duty cycle of the terminals they protect.

Technology, sensing and day to day operation

Modern hand sanitiser stations use infrared sensors to detect the presence of hands and dispense a predefined volume of liquid or gel. This touch free operation is essential in busy environments and helps maintain hygiene around shared interfaces. Large tank capacities reduce refill frequency and therefore operating effort, which is particularly important in locations with high footfall. Battery powered designs are easy to place near kiosks and parcel lockers even when no mains socket is available, but they do require regular charging and basic battery care to ensure stable service over time.

Industrial dispensers typically use closed, vandal resistant housings to protect tanks and electronics. Compared to office or household units they offer more robust enclosures, stronger mounting hardware and pump mechanisms designed for extended service life. Many models come with adjustable dose and timing, status LEDs, overflow protection and drip trays that reduce cleaning work around the kiosk. These details may appear minor, but they make a noticeable difference when operating a large fleet of terminals and sanitiser stations across multiple sites.

Quality, local technical support and operational aspects

If a sanitiser station stops working – empty tank, failed sensor or worn pump – users will quickly notice and overall perception of the self service system may suffer. That is why it is worth choosing industrial, well supported equipment and planning operation with the same care as for the kiosks themselves.

• local technical support in Hungary that helps you choose the right capacity, power supply and mounting concept for sanitiser stations next to kiosks, payment terminals and parcel lockers;
• regular maintenance and inspection – refilling tanks, cleaning sensors and nozzles, checking battery health – to keep systems reliable in daily operation;
• respecting recommended operating conditions (temperature, humidity, outdoor protection, vandal resistance), especially for street side and open air parking installations;
• maintaining stock of key spare parts and consumables, and organising scheduled deliveries to support larger networks or seasonal demand;
• flexible logistics and financing options such as different shipping modes, customs handling, post payment terms, invoicing in foreign currencies and project based quotations to optimise total lifecycle cost.

FAQ – disinfection solutions next to kiosks and self service terminals

• Why use automatic hand sanitiser dispensers next to kiosks?
     Contactless dispensers reduce infection risk around shared touchpoints. Users do not have to touch a pump or lever; they simply place their hands under the sensor and receive the required amount of sanitiser before or after using the terminal.
• How do industrial stations differ from simple office dispensers?
     Industrial stations offer larger tanks, robust housings, vandal resistant mounting options and pump mechanisms designed for heavy duty use. They are better suited to high traffic, semi outdoor environments than light duty office products.
• What should you consider regarding capacity and power supply?
     In high traffic locations it is worth selecting larger tanks such as 5 litre units to minimise refill frequency. Where mains power is not readily available, battery powered models are ideal, but their batteries must be charged and checked regularly.
• How can sanitiser stations be integrated into the overall self service concept?
     Floor stand or wall mounted units can be positioned near kiosk entrances or exits, while integrated modules can be built directly into kiosk housings. This creates a consistent, ergonomic setup that encourages hygienic use of self service systems.
