Soap dispenser
A soap dispenser is a container that contains either liquid or finely milled soap dry and dosed pressure using a pump, rotary or other mechanism. Many soap dispenser work according to the principle of a piston pump.
Private area
The development in packaging technology has meant that today many soap products are offered in packs, in which the function of the soap dispenser ( metering device ) is already integrated. So soap dispensers are no longer only found in public spaces, but also in the private sector in the form of small free-standing containers with a capacity of about 500 ml The disadvantage lies in the fact that the thicker-walled packaging increases the consumption of materials for packaging purposes - unlike packaged in bags of liquid soap. There are also more expensive and better processed luxury versions, which are designed for a long product life.
Public sector
In public toilets and washrooms soap dispensers are often found mounted on the wall. In addition, there are also dispensers which are able to foam the washing-active substances. Newer surfactants make it possible to reduce the amount of the required detergent active substance to a minimum, without limiting the quality and result of the washing process.
Refillable apparatus for dispensing liquid soap were in catering businesses, medical practices and hospitals since the beginning of the 20th century in use.
According to the restaurant ordinances of the individual federal states of Germany is in every toilet soap provide in the soap dispenser, which must not be submitted for consideration. An advantage of the use of fixed wall-mounted soap dispensers is the relatively high levels of theft protection. In contrast, in the case of vandalism, the damage is higher. For this reason, partially coin-operated machines were installed, the core duties of soap for a fee.
