As healthcare operators know too well, products that can improve hygiene standards are welcome additions in any setting… Especially when the technologies used, also serve to reduce water-usage given the vast amount of running water that a hospital uses daily, on hand-washing alone…
This dilemma is one that Mechline’s intelligent sensor tap, the TX-i, perfectly resolves as John Newell, Director at Mechline Developments, details:
“The huge water savings, hygiene and durability benefits of our brand-new AquaTechnix 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.”
This clever, contactless method of hand-washing also helps to reduce touch-points across an entire handwashing area. This is particularly key in healthcare settings where minimising the spread of bacteria is paramount.
Taking hygiene precautions yet another step-further, 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.
Built to cope in the most demanding environments, the battery-operated TX-i is designed to run for up to 5 years, or 365,000 hand-washing cycles. What’s more, 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.
The AquaTechnix TX-i sensor tap is available in two sizes, 200mm and 300mm, offering flexibility to suit different installation needs. Designed for seamless integration, it can be easily fitted directly onto countertops. Its sleek design perfectly complements Mechline's full range of basins, pairing the advanced functionality of the TX-i with the durability and practicality of our BaSix Basin range.
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. DZR and lead-free with 4MS valve fittings, the TX-i has been designed to satisfy the worldwide market.
