Centre Feed Dispensers
Centre feed dispensers are an essential part of maintaining hygiene and efficiency in both professional and commercial cleaning environments. Designed to hold and dispense centre feed rolls, these units offer a practical and tidy solution for controlling the use of paper towels in workplaces, kitchens, washrooms and factories. At Express Cleaning Supplies, we supply a wide range of high quality centre feed dispensers that provide durability, reliability and value for money. Whether you need a dispenser for heavy duty industrial use or a stylish option for a modern washroom, our range has been carefully selected to meet every requirement.
What is a Centre Feed Dispenser?
A centre feed dispenser is a wall mounted or freestanding unit that holds a roll of paper towel from which sheets are pulled from the centre of the roll. The design allows users to take as much paper as needed with minimal waste while protecting the rest of the roll from contamination or water contact. This makes it an ideal solution for high traffic areas where hygiene and efficiency are priorities.
Typical uses include food preparation areas, healthcare facilities, garages, engineering workshops and schools. In each setting, a centre feed dispenser supports hygiene compliance by offering a quick and controlled way to dry hands, wipe surfaces or clean equipment.
Types of Centre Feed Dispensers
There are several types of centre feed dispensers available to suit different requirements.
Plastic Dispensers
These are the most common and cost effective type, made from tough ABS or polypropylene plastic. They are easy to install and maintain, offering long lasting reliability for busy environments such as restrooms, workshops and commercial kitchens.
Stainless Steel Dispensers
For a more robust and aesthetic solution, stainless steel units deliver both strength and a professional appearance. They are resistant to corrosion and ideal for hygiene sensitive areas such as hospitals, surgeries and food manufacturing facilities.
Lockable Models
Many dispensers include lockable covers to prevent pilferage and ensure the paper remains clean and dry. This feature is especially beneficial in public or shared areas where security and hygiene control are important.
Centre Feed Mini and Maxi Dispensers
Depending on the available space and usage levels, customers can choose between smaller mini dispensers for compact washrooms or full size maxi versions for large scale operations.
At Express Cleaning Supplies, we stock a wide choice of designs and finishes from respected brands, helping you find the perfect match for your workplace.
Benefits of Using a Centre Feed Dispenser
A centre feed dispenser offers several advantages over loose or countertop rolls.
- Improved Hygiene: The dispenser fully encloses the roll, protecting it from splashes and contamination. Only the sheet being used is touched by the user, which greatly reduces the risk of cross contamination.
- Efficient Dispensing: Paper is always available in a controlled manner. Users can take as much or as little as needed without tearing or dropping excess paper.
- Reduced Waste: By controlling the dispensing point, businesses can reduce paper usage, which means lower costs and less environmental impact.
- Time Saving: Staff save time because paper is easily accessible for quick surface cleaning, bottle drying and hand wiping.
- Professional Appearance: A neatly mounted dispenser gives any washroom, kitchen or workshop a tidy, organised look that reflects a professional image to staff and visitors.
How to Choose the Right Centre Feed Dispenser
When choosing your centre feed dispenser, consider the following factors.
1. Usage Level
High traffic areas such as canteens or production facilities will benefit from large capacity dispensers that can accommodate jumbo centre feed rolls. Lower use environments, such as staff restrooms, may prefer a compact model.
2. Material
Plastic models are lightweight, economical and suitable for most settings. Stainless steel dispensers offer a premium finish and superior durability for demanding conditions.
3. Mounting and Space Requirements
Wall mounted options save counter space and provide easy access. Choose a size and orientation that fits comfortably in the intended area.
4. Compatibility
Ensure the dispenser is compatible with the type and size of centre feed rolls you use, including options for blue or white paper, perforated or non perforated.
5. Hygiene and Maintenance
Look for designs that are simple to refill, clean and lock securely. Transparent panels can also help staff monitor roll levels and restock efficiently.
Sectors and Applications
Centre feed dispensers are versatile enough for almost any environment where hygiene and cleanliness are a priority.
- Hospitality and Catering: Ideal for wiping surfaces, cleaning spills and maintaining cleanliness in kitchens and food preparation areas.
- Industrial and Manufacturing: Useful for keeping machinery and work surfaces clean in warehouses, workshops and production lines.
- Healthcare and Laboratories: Provides hygienic paper access in clinics, hospitals and laboratories where cross contamination must be avoided.
- Education and Office Spaces: Supports hygiene standards in classrooms, staff rooms and communal areas.
