The solid sanitising solution We hear from SEKO about their DispenserONE: The ‘Fit and Forget’ sanitiser system.
After a year in which hand hygiene was thrust into the spotlight like never before, SEKO’s ground-breaking DispenserONE sanitiser system – purpose-designed in response to coronavirus – has been nominated as a finalist in the Tomorrow’s Cleaning Awards 2021.
This innovative range of dispensers has transformed the way building managers deliver hand hygiene, but disposable and conventional light-duty sanitiser systems have been on the market for decades, so why the need to replace them?
Such systems were adequate in the pre-COVID-19 world, with their basic pump mechanism and low capacity capable of meeting low demand which was limited to hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and other healthcare sites.
However, when COVID arrived and hand hygiene became essential in every building, these devices were installed as ‘quick fixes’, yet expected to deal with constant, widespread use despite their limitations.
The sight of a disposable tub of sanitiser, usually placed on a countertop or small table at a building entrance, has become common during the pandemic as building operators try to deliver COVID-secure arrangements.
As well as being unhygienic due to their manual operation, pump-action devices are messy, unsightly and unsafe as they leak and leave sanitiser dripping onto the surface and floor where they may create a slip hazard.
The alternative to disposable dispensers are light-duty refillable systems mounted to walls and stands. These also splash and leak due to their primitive pump design and require regular repair and, ultimately, replacement after around six months on average. For building operators, this results in constant cleaning, refilling, repairing and replacement of dispensers – increasing staff workload and incurring hidden costs.
From these limitations, the DispenserONE range was born, as the SEKO R&D team worked to create a series of ‘fit and forget’ systems to provide hassle-free, yet highly-effective infection control in any building.

Built around an ultra-reliable motor-driven pump, DispenserONE provides a consistently smooth, soft flow of sanitiser and because residual product remains within the mechanism once dosing is completed, the system is completely leak-free.
DispenserONE is an operator’s dream in that it requires zero maintenance during opening hours, with the only requirements an occasional refill and, in the case of the battery-powered models, recharge.
This means that, once installed, DispenserONE can be left in service without the need to constantly refill or clean around the unit, its presence offering reassurance not only to the user, but to the building manager who can have complete faith in their hand hygiene arrangements.
Meanwhile, SEKO’s range covers every building requirement for hand hygiene, ensuring devices are properly sized with a capacity suited to footfall, starting with DispenserONE Mini which offers a super-slim, table-height profile and minimal footprint that make it ideal for convenience stores, beauty salons and other sites where space is at a premium.
For the largest sites including international airports, conference centres and sports stadia there’s DispenserONE Maxi, a high- capacity, mains-powered unit delivering up to 50,000 doses between refills and a 21” multimedia screen at eye level.
Recognising the ever-changing coronavirus restrictions around the world, SEKO has also developed DispenserONE Thermoscan, which allows building managers to control entry depending on combinations of criteria such as sanitiser use, body temperature and face covering. As well as providing peace of mind to the operator over infection control, this model gives building users confidence at a time when many are reluctant to visit shops and return to the workplace.
Adding to this the system’s IoT-enabled remote connectivity, customisability and optional multimedia screen, and DispenserONE earns its place as the ultimate hand-hygiene product for 2021 and beyond.
