In environments such as airports, train stations, cruise ships and trains, toilets have to meet exceptionally high hygienic standards. Choosing the right taps, especially touchless ones, can save time, resources and maintenance costs in the long run. Idral offers innovative solutions that stand the test of time in high-traffic areas. Here is how Idral's touchless products meet these needs, as demonstrated by an installation in an airport.
Effective against bacteria and germs
Airports see millions of travellers every year, and maintaining hygienic environments is a priority to reduce the spread of bacteria and germs. Bathrooms in these locations must be designed to minimise the risk of germ transmission from constant contact with surfaces. Idral electronic taps, equipped with infrared sensors, are the ideal solution. These touchless systems are increasingly the preferred choice of airport planners to ensure clean and safe environments by reducing the need to touch surfaces.
User-friendly technology and water saving
Idral's infrared technology offers a simple and intuitive user experience. Just swipe your hand in front of the sensor to activate the water flow, making the system extremely easy to use, especially in settings with a high influx of people. Saving water is also crucial at airports, where the number of travellers leads to high water consumption. Idral electronic taps help reduce water usage, as the supply is only activated when needed. Preset flow times also prevent waste caused by incorrectly closed handles, contributing to both environmental sustainability and economic efficiency.
Efficiency first: no delays
In the hectic airport environment, even the toilets must be fast and efficient. Any malfunction or delay can interrupt the flow of passengers, creating bottlenecks. One of the main advantages of Idral's touchless taps is their ability to handle large volumes of users without problems. Unlike traditional taps, which can become slow and difficult to use over time, Idral's automatic systems offer an immediate response, helping to reduce waiting times and maintain a constant flow in the toilets.
Resistance and durability
Idral electronic taps are designed with simplicity, ergonomics and durability in mind. Touch-free operation and preset temperatures eliminate the wear and tear common in traditional systems, where frequent use can make handles difficult to operate. In addition to being vandal-resistant, Idral taps are easy to clean, minimising maintenance costs. This reliability helps reduce running costs, which is essential in industries where efficiency is paramount and delays are not acceptable.
Solutions against stagnation and maintenance savings
Taps must also be designed for periods of low use, such as in small airports that only see a large influx of tourists during the holidays. This can put water safety at risk, as stagnation in the pipes encourages the proliferation of dangerous bacteria such as legionella. With traditional taps, flushing has to be done manually, but Idral's intelligent touchless taps solve the problem with an automatic flushing system. This ensures that taps are flushed regularly, maintaining water safety without the need for additional labour, protecting the health of travellers and further reducing operating costs.
Idral's touchless taps are the ideal solution for high traffic areas such as airports and train stations. Offering superior hygiene, water efficiency, durability and low maintenance, these products contribute to safer, more efficient and convenient washroom environments. Whether it's fighting germs, reducing water waste or ensuring long-term operation, Idral provides solutions that meet today's highest standards while preparing facilities for the challenges of the future.
