Hand Sanitizer Dispensers

A hand sanitizer dispenser is a container that allows users to easily access hand sanitizer in any situation. Hand sanitizer is important for keeping yourself and others healthy, safe and clean by killing up to 99.99% of germs, making it effective and convenient. It’s also an effective alternative to washing your hands when soap and water aren’t available. Hand sanitizer dispenser machines typically hold more than a standard bottle, serving a larger number of users at a time.

Hand sanitizer machines are available in manual and automatic varieties, each with their distinct benefits. Learn which one is right for you below.

Manual

Manual hand sanitizer dispensers are a great fit for areas without easily accessible power outlets. These sanitizer dispensers are simple to use, only requiring a single press to release the product for users.

Manual sanitizers can be easier to clean than automatic ones, which may occasionally clog. Wiping down the dispenser bar and pump should be enough care to keep a manual machine in top shape.

Automatic

Automatic hand sanitizer dispensers release a pre-measured amount of product when users trigger them. Most utilize infrared sensors to detect the presence of hands then release the sanitizer once they are triggered.

An automatic sanitizer dispenser is a hands-free option that allows users to avoid touching the dispenser handle and helps prevent the spread of germs through contact with it.

There are mounting mechanisms along with free-standing models to choose from when shopping for hand sanitizer dispensers. Consider where you need to place the dispenser and choose accordingly:

Wall-Mounted

Placing a hand sanitizer dispenser on a wall minimizes the amount of space the dispenser takes up. Wall mounts are particularly popular for business bathrooms or other high-traffic areas where a mobile dispenser could be removed or placed in an undesirable location.

Countertop

Particularly convenient for spots like office desks or other personal areas, a countertop sanitizer dispenser allows users to get rid of germs and bacteria throughout the day. These fit well into spaces where you may not be able to wall mount a sanitizer dispenser and a floor stand model may not fit.

Floor Stand

Floor stand hand sanitizer dispensers are fantastic for temporary pop-up stands or businesses that may move furniture around frequently. They’re mobile and simple to place in high traffic areas, as well as to move when they’re in the way.

Automatic or hands-free hand sanitizer dispenser machines typically are powered by batteries. They typically require C batteries or similar. Depending on the product, battery life may vary, but many average a year before they need replacement.
