To break the chain of infection, reliability is not just a feature. It is a necessity. At OPHARDT Hygiene, we understand that our products play a crucial role in maintaining health and safety standards in many critical industries. Today, we’re proud to announce a significant milestone that underscores our commitment to dependability: our X10 dispenser system has been tested for an impressive 1 million activations.
Long-haul dispensing.
To put this test into context, an average dispenser might see between 10,000-20,000 activations a year. Even if we take a higher number, say 35,000 activations annually, it would still take 28 years for a dispenser to reach 1 million activations. (At the low end, it would take 100 years to reach that many activations.) This is an extreme, long-term test, but one that we do to push our dispensers to the limit.
When it comes to soap and sanitizer dispensers, especially in healthcare and industrial settings, long-term reliability is paramount. These devices are not just conveniences. They are critical tools in maintaining hygiene standards and preventing the spread of infections. Reliable dispensers can prevent operation disruptions (including fewer staff sick days) and improve health outcomes.
From concept to construction.
At OPHARDT Hygiene, we do not simply design dispensers—we engineer the entire manufacturing process. This holistic approach allows us to maintain tight control over quality at every stage, from concept to production. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond fine tuning our CAD models and into the very machines that bring our designs to life.
This integrated approach offers the advantages of consistency and rapid iteration. By overseeing both design and manufacturing, we ensure that every X10-based dispenser meets our exacting standards. The difference between an X10 pump that is in-spec and out-of-spec can be measured in microns. We are able to achieve more precise designs because we own and design the whole process.
It also helps us iterate rapidly. Other engineering teams need to wait for shipments or travel to another facility or even country to oversee iterations. We just walk across our facility. When improvements are needed, we can quickly implement changes in as little time as a couple of hours, not a couple of weeks.
Benefits of X10sive tests.
Our dispenser testing facility is adjacent to our R&D team. This close association fosters a culture of continuous improvement and rapid problem-solving. When our testing reveals an opportunity for enhancement, our engineers can immediately get to work on a solution.
We identify issues which may cause problems faster. And we can easily share feedback throughout long-term testing.
More than 1 million reasons.
Reaching 1 million test activations is more than just a number—it’s a testament to the durability and dependability of the X10 dispenser platform.
The beauty of the X10 system is that it greatly reduces the investment in time and money that is needed to launch a fully customized, next-generation dispenser. Across the board, the X10 offers industry-leading performance from our battery life to the air-to-liquid ratio that the X10 foam pumps produce to our pioneering use of post-consumer recycled plastic in our pumps—by default.
This is a platform we believe in. Not only do we provide it as a fully customizable system for our partners, but we use it in our SanTRAL® Plus, SanTRAL® Ultra, and PRAESIDIO® Mini dispensers.
From OPHARDT to our partners to the users of our dispensers, we share a common desire. We want our dispensers to just work and keep on working. The X10 does just that and now we have the numbers to prove it.
One milestone, with more to come.
As we celebrate this milestone, we’re already looking ahead to further testing. The lessons learned from this extensive testing will inform our future innovations, ensuring that OPHARDT Hygiene continues to lead the way in reliable hygiene solutions.
Our commitment to reliability isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the trust that healthcare providers, industrial managers, and everyday users place in our products. It’s about the peace of mind that comes from knowing that when you reach for an OPHARDT dispenser, it will just work, time and time again.
