Novameta Non-Contact Sink with Knee Mixer BHS-RKZ

A non-contact sink removes the need to touch taps with soiled hands. The knee mixer lever sits below the worktop, allowing the operator to start, stop and adjust water flow by pressing with the knee. This keeps hands free for washing, rinsing or sanitising, reducing cross-contamination in busy kitchens, healthcare settings and food preparation areas. Water is delivered through a spout positioned above the basin, flowing directly into the sink without contact between the user and the tap. The mixer blends hot and cold supplies when pre-mixed water is not available, maintaining a consistent temperature without manual adjustment. The lever's resistance and travel are calibrated to give precise control over flow rate, letting the user fill the basin quickly or use a gentle stream for rinsing. To use the sink, the operator approaches the unit and presses the knee lever to start the water. The hands are placed under the spout, washed or rinsed, then the lever is released to stop the flow. The basin collects the water, which drains through an outlet at the base. No handles, knobs or sensors are touched during the process, so surfaces remain clean between users. The sink is constructed from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion, staining and bacterial growth. The material withstands frequent cleaning with detergents and sanitisers without degrading, ensuring the unit remains hygienic over time. The basin is seamless, with rounded corners to prevent dirt accumulation and simplify wiping down. The knee mixer is the sole control, positioned on the front panel beneath the worktop. It adjusts water flow and, when connected to separate hot and cold supplies, blends the two to deliver a steady temperature. No additional settings or timers are fitted. The sink's dimensions of 325 mm wide, 230 mm deep and 130 mm high create a compact footprint suitable for tight spaces. The unit is wall-mounted, freeing the floor beneath and making cleaning around the base straightforward. The weight is kept low to allow secure fixing to standard partition walls without reinforcement. The seamless stainless steel basin lets you rinse away flour, grease or sanitiser in seconds without scrubbing crevices. The knee lever and spout are cleaned in the same way, with attention to the lever's pivot to ensure smooth operation. A single knee press flushes the mixer lines so you can swap from hand-washing to food prep without touching any controls. The sink connects to either a cold water supply or a pre-mixed hot and cold line, adapting to the plumbing available in the installation site. No electrical connection is needed. The BHS-RKZ is categorised under hygiene equipment in the Novameta professional range, designed for environments where contact-free operation is essential to food safety and infection control.
