The innovative commercial touchless faucets are top-of-the-range equipment in industrial kitchens. Their built-in sensors detect motion underneath the faucet and start water flow automatically without needing to touch a handle or knob. All you have to do is move your hands around the sensor to turn the faucet on and off.
Touchless commercial kitchen faucets consist of 4 main parts. A sensor located at the base of the spout detects motion and sends a signal to the valve. This signal operates the pull action and opens the valve to allow water flow. Once you withdraw your hands, the valve receives a negative message and drives the push action, blocking the water flow. The power source, electricity or batteries, enables the operation. The final component is the spout, which may have a rigid or swivel type with a chrome or nickel finish.
Venturing into the foodservice business or remodeling your kitchen? Consider purchasing a wall-mount or deck-mount touchless faucet to keep pace with state-of-the-art designs.
