Delabie will launch its new sequential Securitouch mechanical mixer, a mechanical alternative to the company’s successful Securitherm thermostatic mixer.
Said to be ‘ideal for hand washbasins, sinks, and surgical troughs, in the medical environment’, the new mechanical mixer, 2436P, has sequential control. The same lateral movement, through a range of only 90°, opens the water flow and adjusts the temperature. The sequential mixer opens and closes on cold water for improved anti-scalding safety, and features a pre-set maximum temperature limiter to reduce scalding risk. By design, the body is thermally insulated – hot water flows from the inlets to the cartridge inside narrow copper tubes, and is therefore never in contact with the mixer’s walls. ‘Any risk of burning is thus removed’.
The mixer has a specifically designed interior to reduce the volume of standing water in the body. Fewer components are in contact with the water, reducing biofilm attachment, while all internal parts, including the spout, are completely smooth. Thanks to a large drop height and increased spout length, ‘handwashing is optimised’. An ergonomic ‘Hygiene’ lever enables control without manual contact, using the wrist, forearm, or elbow.
