July 18, 2007—Kimberly-Clark Professional launches the first electronic bath tissue dispenser, saying, according to the announcement, that the company is about to go where no health and hygiene company has gone before—crossing the final touchless restroom frontier, with the introduction of the first electronic bath tissue dispenser. While many public restrooms offer hygienic no-touch dispensing for sinks, hand towels, and soap, bath tissue has not been included in this trend. Until now—with the launch of the Kimberly-Clark Professional JRT Electronic coreless bath tissue dispenser.
The new system automatically dispenses a pre-measured amount of toilet paper when users place their hands under the dispenser. The first-of-its-kind dispenser combines the unique benefits of advanced touchless electronics with high capacity Scott coreless bathroom tissue (which eliminates the hole and cardboard core in the center of the roll). The result: enhanced restroom hygiene, reduced consumption, and hassle-free performance. Another plus is compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), when properly installed, because of the system’s easy one-handed dispensing.
The JRT Electronic Coreless bath tissue dispenser offers a variety of other benefits, including:
- A 20% reduction in the amount of bath tissue used, through controlled dispensing.
- 45% less packaging waste than standard cored Jumbo Roll Bath Tissue.
- A battery life of more than one year.
- Programmable sheet lengths to provide users with more options: short (16″), medium (20″), and long (24″) settings.
- Sensor placements that enable the dispenser to be installed on either side of the stall.
Users also can obtain bath tissue manually, by pushing and turning a knob on the front of the dispenser. In addition, the unit offers a stub roll feature that allows for manual feeding of the tissue. LED lights let maintenance workers know when paper and battery levels are low to reduce the risk of battery or product run out.
