The need for personal hygiene is more important than ever before. Medical experts, scientists and researchers have been advising us that human to human spread of the virus could result into deadly consequences. The current pandemic of Covid-19 is a new challenge faced by the entire world. Among several recommendations for prevention of the deadly virus is the use of Hand Sanitizer.
Besides the simple Hand Sanitizer for personal use, there are many different types of Hand Sanitizers, depending upon the intended use:
- Hand Sanitizer for consumer’s use at retail stores, restaurants, offices and industrial facilities.
- Hand Sanitizer for large venues such as sports events, concerts, trade shows and conventions.
- Hand Sanitizer for health care providers in hospitals and clinics.
Before the pandemic, hand sanitizers for personal use were considered adequate but now with the pandemic upon us, commercial grade Hand Sanitizers are required to meet the needs for high traffic areas.
One of the main components of a commercial-grade Hand Sanitizer Station is the liquid pump (also known as a positive displacement pump or metering pump). Binaca Pumps offers several types of small Peristaltic Pumps for this application. These pumps are highly reliable and are consistent for dispensing liquids. For medium duty cycle applications, Binaca Pumps’ models PP-1, PP-5, PP-7 are very popular. For high traffic areas, we recommend Binaca Pumps’ models PP-606 and PP-909. The use of precision controllers can provide the desirable dispensing amount for each cycle. Commercial-grade sanitizer units designed with hands-free capability can also help in preventing the spread of the virus. For high traffic areas, the use of large containers to hold the liquid is needed to reduce the repeated cost and time to refill.
While selecting the suitable liquid pump, various factors must be considered:
Q: Is the sanitizer liquid or gel?
A: For viscous fluids, gear driven peristaltic pumps perform better than the friction driven pumps.
Q: What is the tubing material for the pump?
A: Tubing made of PharMed BPT and Norprene provide better results than Silicone tubing, due to better chemical compatibility.
Q: Which motor should the pump use?
A: A Stepper Motor provides more consistent and controlled results for dispensing liquids versus a DC Motor.
Q: What type of maintenance is involved in servicing the pump?
A: An important consideration when selecting a pump is the ability to easily replace the tubing. Some of the pumps offered by Binaca Pumps incorporate the pump head, which allows for quick replacement of the tube when needed. In most cases, the tubing can be changed in less than 15 seconds.
