Regular reprocessing of dispenser systems

7/29/2021

For infection protection and occupational safety, dispensers need to be reprocessed regularly. The dispenser housing, or at least the dosing pump, is to be cleaned and disinfected with every bottle exchange at the latest. The reprocessing procedure depends on the type of dosing dispenser.
