Dart Valley Systems provide outdoor sanitiser stations around Torbay

01-06-2021

TDA, Torbay Council’s economic development company, contacted Dart Valley Systems on behalf of Torbay Council to provide a bespoke solution for the surrounding areas to encourage “safe shopping” during and post-pandemic. Their requirements included a robust, vandal resistant and hygienic solution for passers-by of the surrounding towns. In total, Dart Valley provided 12 sanitiser stations around Torquay, Paignton and Brixham which were strategically placed around the towns in highly populated areas.

Dart Valley, the southern division of Franke Water Systems UK, are specialists in hygienic solutions and adapted one of their current stainless steel hand sanitising stations to provide a bespoke solution for Torbay. The technical and design team at Dart Valley were proud to be part of a local project and spent a significant amount of time designing the bespoke sanitisers to ensure all requirements were met. The finished product was a touch-free, automatic free-standing sanitiser station, manufactured from 2mm grade 316 stainless steel, which is weatherproof and an ideal solution for an outdoor product. 316 stainless steel contains an addition of molybdenum that gives it improved corrosion resistance, a key design factor for an outdoor product in a seaside town.
