Papermake Guide: Automated Washroom Systems

Automated washroom systems combine touch-free towel, tissue, soap, and air care dispensers to improve hygiene, control usage, and reduce complaints. This guide explains how to plan and choose a coordinated system for your building.

1. Why Choose Automated Systems?

• Touch-free operation reduces cross-contamination and supports better hand hygiene.
• Preset towel lengths and controlled dispensing reduce waste and cost-per-visit.
• High-capacity refills reduce labour and the risk of running out at peak times.
• Consistent dispensers across washrooms improve tenant and guest perception.

2. Automated Towel Systems

Automatic towel dispensers meter out a set length of towel when a hand passes in front of the sensor. They are ideal for busy washrooms where you want to improve hygiene and control usage.

• Hardwound roll towel systems for high-traffic washrooms.
• Adjustable settings for sheet length and delay between dispenses.
• Locking covers to reduce pilferage and protect refills.

3. Automated Soap Systems

Touch-free soap dispensers provide consistent doses and reduce mess on sinks and counters. They support proper handwashing and make washrooms feel more modern and hygienic.

• Foam and liquid soap options with sealed cartridges.
• Battery-operated or hardwired units depending on location.
• Window or indicator to monitor fill levels at a glance.

4. Automated Air Care

Automated air care systems help maintain a consistent, pleasant fragrance in washrooms and nearby corridors without over-scenting the space.

• Programmable dispensers with adjustable intervals and hours of operation.
• Refills in a range of fragrances and strengths.
• Placement near entrances or airflow to improve coverage.

5. Planning an Automated Washroom Standard

• Identify your highest-profile washrooms and standardize those first.
• Choose a dispenser family that covers towels, tissue, soap, and air care.
• Standardize refills across buildings to simplify purchasing and inventory.
• Include battery checks and refill checks in regular cleaning routines.
