MONOLITH ARES061 Automatic Mixer Sink for Hands-Free Operation

A sink that controls water flow and temperature through a foot-operated mixer eliminates the need to touch taps with soiled hands or utensils. The foot pedal connects to a progressive valve that blends hot and cold supplies in response to pressure, allowing the operator to adjust both volume and warmth without interrupting work. This method reduces cross-contamination between surfaces and food, a requirement in environments where hygiene standards are strictly enforced. The sequence begins by placing items in the basin. The operator steps on the pedal; the further it is depressed, the greater the flow and the higher the temperature. Releasing the pedal shuts off the water instantly, preventing waste and splashing. No knobs or levers are touched, so the hands remain free to hold pots, pans or ingredients throughout the process. Construction centres on a single stainless-steel basin and a fixed spout. The foot control is mounted on a sturdy base plate that anchors to the floor, ensuring stability under repeated use. The mixer mechanism is housed below the worktop, protected from splashes and accidental knocks. Stainless steel surfaces and rounded corners let water drain completely, leaving no crevices for residue or bacteria to collect after each use. Stainless steel resists corrosion and can be sanitised with standard kitchen chemicals. The foot pedal and base plate are wiped down after each shift, while the mixer valve requires periodic descaling to maintain smooth operation. The mixer valve and spout lift out as a single cartridge, so daily rinsing and sanitising can be done without tools or downtime. The ARES061 is categorised under commercial sinks with integrated hygiene controls, serving professional kitchens, food production areas and medical facilities where hands-free operation is mandated.
