This contactless method of hand-washing also helps to reduce touch-points across an entire handwashing area. Increasingly, this is becoming a necessity in kitchen, bar, washroom and healthcare settings where minimising the spread of bacteria is paramount.
John Newell, director at Mechline Developments, said: “The huge water savings, hygiene and durability benefits of our brand-new TX-i tap are largely made possible thanks to our smart-valve, coupled with latest time of flight IP67 rated infrared sensor technology.
“This clever technology instantly detects hand motion without false triggers and provides instant shut-off. As such, water need not be wasted, and therefore money saved. To put this into perspective, operators of the TX-i can expect to reduce water consumption by up to 72% in comparison to a standard, traditional basin tap.”
The AquaTechnix TX-i sensor tap is available in two sizes, 200mm and 300mm. It can be easily fitted directly onto countertops. The TX-i is also configured to run an independent anti-stagnation flush every 24 hours. This service flush serves to prevent legionella colonies from forming.
The battery operated TX-i is designed to run for up to five years, or 365,000 hand-washing cycles. The tap spout is engineered from high-strength tubular 316L stainless steel to provide superior sturdiness and strength and hygiene, coupled with latest water aeration technologies and a PEX lined braided hose.
Universally suitable and easy to maintain and install, the TX-i comes complete with a universal horseshoe clamp that can be secured to any work surface up to 65mm thick. For more information on Mechline’s AquaTechnix TX-i range, visit: https://www.mechline.com/tx-i/.
