Pedal-Operated Sinks | High-traffic hospitals, surgical rooms | - Pedal operation (compliant with 93/42/EEC) - Adjustable height: 70–95cm ▲ (ISO 9424) - Stainless steel (ASTM A240) - 100kg weight capacity ▲ (supports heavy-duty use) | - Hygienic (no-touch operation) - Durable material (resists corrosion) - Adjustable for accessibility (▲ vs industry standard 60–90cm) | - Requires foot operation (may be challenging for some users) - Louder than sensor-activated models (43 dBA ▲ vs 38 dBA industry) |
Sensor-Activated Sinks | High-end hospitals, ICUs | - Infrared sensors (IEC 60335) - Automatic shut-off (reduces water waste) - 85kg weight capacity (ISO 9424) | - Touchless operation (minimizes cross-contamination) - Water-efficient | - Higher upfront cost - Requires electrical maintenance (risk of sensor malfunctions) |
Manual Faucet Sinks | Low-traffic clinics, budget setups | - Manual lever operation - 60kg weight capacity (ISO 9424) - Basic stainless steel (ASTM A240) | - Inexpensive - No electrical dependency | - Higher cross-contamination risk - Less hygienic for high-traffic use |
Wall-Mounted Sinks | Space-constrained labs, small clinics | - Wall-mounted design (saves floor space) - Adjustable height: 60–90cm (ISO 9424) - Stainless steel (ASTM A240) | - Space-efficient - Easy to clean | - Limited customization options - Installation complexity (requires plumbing adjustments) |
Freestanding Sinks | Mobile setups, temporary facilities | - Portable base (easy relocation) - 80kg weight capacity (ISO 9424) - Stainless steel (ASTM A240) | - Flexible placement - No permanent installation needed | - Less stable than fixed models - Takes up floor space |
Stainless Steel Sinks | High-corrosion environments (e.g., labs) | - Grade 304 stainless steel ▲ (ASTM A240) - Corrosion resistance: 50+ chemical exposures ▲ (ASTM D543) - Hygienic finish (Ra ≤0.8μm) | - Durable against harsh chemicals - Easy to sanitize | - Higher cost compared to plastic alternatives |
