MONOLITH ARES070 Automatic Mixer Sink for Hands-Free Operation

A professional sink that frees both hands while filling, rinsing or sanitising. The foot-operated progressive mixer lets the operator adjust water flow and temperature without touching the tap, reducing cross-contamination and keeping hands available for the task.

The mixer works by a pedal that responds to pressure: a light press starts a gentle stream, increasing to full flow as the foot bears down. Temperature is set the same way, blending hot and cold water progressively until the desired warmth is reached. The spout remains fixed, directing the water into the basin without splashing.

To use the sink, the operator steps on the pedal to open the water, adjusts flow and temperature with foot pressure, and releases the pedal to stop. No handles are turned, no knobs are twisted, and no hands leave the food or utensils being washed.

The sink is built on a column support that carries the weight of the basin and the water it holds, distributing the load safely to the floor. This construction keeps the worktop free of legs or braces, making cleaning underneath easier and allowing the sink to fit into tight corners or narrow galley layouts.

The basin and column are made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, heat and impact. The surface is smooth and non-porous, so it does not trap food particles or bacteria, and it can be wiped down quickly between tasks.

The controls consist of the foot pedal and the mixer mechanism inside the column. The pedal is positioned low enough to be reached without bending, and it is wide enough to be operated by either foot. The mixer itself has no external moving parts, reducing wear and simplifying maintenance.

The sink's compact footprint is designed for kitchens where space is limited. The column support takes up minimal floor area, and the basin itself can be positioned close to walls or other equipment without obstructing access.

Cleaning is straightforward: the basin is wiped with a cloth and sanitiser, the spout is cleaned with a brush to remove limescale, and the foot pedal is wiped with a disinfectant. The column support can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and the area underneath is swept or mopped as part of routine floor cleaning.

The sink is supplied without a siphon or flexible connection hoses, allowing the installer to choose fittings that match the existing plumbing and local regulations.

This model is categorised as a professional sink with integrated mixer, suitable for commercial kitchens, food preparation areas and hygiene-critical environments.
