Hagleitner Hygiene International - World first in hygiene: Touch-free wet wipe dispensing machine

  • Written by Telegraph Magazine

Creators expect it to be a game changer for wet wipes

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY - Newsaktuell - 12 October 2022 - This advance in technology was actually overdue, explains hygiene pioneer Hans Georg Hagleitner.

"No more dried out wipes at the top of the pack. No more germs introduced by rummaging fingers," says the inventor about his work. The automatic wet wipe dispenser was presented by Hagleitner in Frankfurt am Main on 12 October 2022, the first of its kind in the world: The device dispenses wet wipe after wet wipe entirely touch free; whilst also protecting its contents. Hagleitner wants to set new standards in hygiene with this innovation. The inventor emphasises that the wet wipe needs the dispenser like milk needs a refrigerator.

Game changer promotes sustainability

In essence it is a disinfectant wipe dispenser: The hand moves towards it, a sensor reacts, a dial opens, the disinfectant wipe appears; after removing it, the device closes automatically. Over time, however, it is not just about the disinfectant wipe, says Stefanie Hagleitner; Hans Georg's daughter who is in charge of product management in his company. Stefanie Hagleitner is convinced that the invention heralds a new era for hygiene in general: "Customers wont have to rummage in some strange box of wet toilet paper any more. No more wipes will be thrown away in the future just because they have dried up - no more wasting of resources. Parents wont have to hunt around for the box of baby wipes any more either, because the dispenser solution is fixed in place."

Digital shelf life monitor

Among other things, the invention can be controlled digitally. For example, an app offers a shelf life monitor: "Particularly in hospitals, disinfectant wipes must not be out of date, otherwise they lose their effect," describes chemist and disinfection expert Kerstin Heine. The dispenser can provide information, transmitted online, about its fill level and charge status. The device has the option of mains power, rechargeable battery or recyclable energy unit; according to the manufacturer, the rechargeable battery and energy unit are sufficient for 20,000 operations each.

Market launch on 12 October 2022

Hans Georg Hagleitner calls his invention XIBU 2WIPE hybrid. The market launch is on the 12 October 2022, and the product will be available for purchase by companies from then on.

Made in Austria

Hagleitner presented XIBU 2WIPE hybrid at a press conference in Frankfurt am Main, from where he plans to manage his company's German business. The company manufactures the dispenser, the wet wipes and purpose disinfectant in a central production facility in Zell am See (Austria).
