Urinal flushing systems: Innovative technology for efficient hygiene
Urinal flushing systems: The choice between comfort and economy
In modern sanitary design, the urinal flush plays a crucial role in odor prevention and bowl cleanliness. While simple surface-mounted flush valves were once the standard, contemporary designs rely on concealed solutions and intelligent sensor technology. These systems guarantee thorough flushing of the siphon and, through automatic intervals, prevent the trap from drying out – even with infrequent use.
Advantage: No contact
Infrared-controlled urinal flushes drastically minimize the risk of smear infections. Since the user has no physical contact with the flush mechanism, the germ count in the restroom drops significantly – a must for hospitals, train stations, and upscale restaurants.
System types for every requirement profile
Depending on the structural conditions and frequency, we offer different technologies:
- Infrared electronic flush valves: Touchless activation via proximity sensors. Many models offer adjustable flushing times and a hygiene flush (every 24 hours) to prevent stagnant water in the pipes.
- Pneumatic & Manual Pressure Flushers: The robust and low-maintenance solution. Ideal for areas where no electrical connection is available or where simple mechanics are preferred.
- Radar-controlled flushing systems: The sensor technology is invisibly located behind the ceramic of the urinal . This offers maximum protection against vandalism and a clean look.
Everything you need to know about flushing systems
How much water does a modern urinal flush use per cycle?
Modern systems are optimized for efficiency. While older flushing systems often used 3 to 6 liters per flush, current models manage with only 0.5 to 1.0 liters per flush. This conserves resources and noticeably reduces the operating costs of your plumbing.
Can infrared toilets be operated without a mains connection?
Yes, many of our electronic flushing systems are available with either mains power (230V) or battery operation (6V) . Battery operation allows for easy retrofitting without electrical wiring behind the wall, and the batteries last approximately 2 to 5 years depending on usage.
What is the stadium function in urinal controls?
This intelligent function is designed for peak times. During periods of very high usage (e.g., breaks at events), the system automatically switches to an economy mode with reduced flush volumes or fixed time intervals to save water while still ensuring full hygiene.
Advantages of professional dishwashing systems:
- Durability: High-quality materials such as chrome-plated brass or stainless steel.
- Safety: Integrated shut-off valves and pre-filters against contamination.
- Adaptability: Flexible adjustment of rinsing parameters depending on the basin type.
- Hygiene: Prevention of stagnant water through automatic rinsing cycles.
