Proper hand-washing techniques are always critical, but they’ve been thrust even further into the spotlight in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and other bodies have published best practices regarding the appropriate time and method for handwashing, such as washing before, during and after food preparation, before eating, after touching dirty or high-traffic surfaces, and more.

Scrubbing your hands for at least 20 seconds is also recommended to achieve proper cleanliness – but enforcing that length is a different matter altogether. You can post signs encouraging good hygiene and use other visual aids, but there’s no guarantee they’ll help you ensure best practices are being adhered to.

The Antunes Hand Wash Timer has served customers well for years in maintaining hygiene and safety, and it’s ready to step up now, when handwashing has become more critical than ever. With it, you can offer up a valuable handwashing tool that helps you take an additional step toward compliance with these suggested best practices in any hand-washing application.

Features of the Antunes Hand Wash Timer

The Antunes Hand Wash Timer runs on two AA batteries for up to three years, requiring no electricity and providing a lasting solution that not only helps you address the immediate effects of the spread of coronavirus, but promote lasting hygiene habits.

The Hand Wash Timer mounts to any magnetic surface and includes a 90-day warranty, giving you the flexibility and peace of mind you’ve come to expect from Antunes solutions. A mounting bracket with an adhesive agent is also included.

Its display shows a continuous 20-second countdown, providing a clear visual reminder of the recommended time for proper handwashing.

In this way, the Hand Wash Timer requires no user intervention to operate or activate and provides touchless function, helping ensure the surface, itself, isn’t contributing to the spread of germs.

Your Health Is in Your Hands

Now more than ever, it’s important to be proactive in ensuring everyone in your space is correctly adhering to best practices for handwashing.

With the Antunes Hand Wash Timer, you can do your part to prevent the spread of germs and infectious diseases like the novel coronavirus by promoting these techniques.

Why Arla’s APAC lead says Asia’s GLP-1 shift hinges on price and pills

Why Arla’s APAC lead says Asia’s GLP-1 shift hinges on price and pills

Arla Food Ingredients' Asia Pacific head says GLP-1 drug use in APAC is still early, held back by cost, reimbursement and lower obesity rates. Generics and pills could change the pace. US survey data broadly match his forecast of gains for protein-rich foods and pressure on confectionery and less healthy snacks, giving APAC product teams an early view of which categories grow and which shrink.

  • 01EY-Parthenon survey data shows US GLP-1 users cutting back on sweet and salty snacks, which could help APAC food makers plan while adoption in Asia is still early.
  • 02Products built to deliver more nutrition in smaller portions don't depend on drug uptake. Among US consumers managing their weight, far more cut calories or exercise than take medication.

Why Tradin Organic wants supplement makers off spot buying for key ingredients

Why Tradin Organic wants supplement makers off spot buying for key ingredients

Weather pressures mango, cocoa, and wild-harvested ingredients. Tradin Organic suggested moving key ingredients from spot buying to partnerships. They sometimes work with development banks, offering loans as part of these arrangements aligned with sustainability goals.

  • 01When warm nights stop mango trees in Peru from flowering, the spot market can tell a buyer what scarce fruit costs, but it cannot grow any more of it.
  • 02Buyer commitments can make farm projects financeable, enabling development banks to fund them as standard loans aligned with sustainability goals.
  • 03The sharper sourcing question for each ingredient is which of three tiers it belongs in: spot, partnership with volume commitments and technical support, or full integration with asset ownership.

How labor shortages and capex constrain meat plant automation to 2035

How labor shortages and capex constrain meat plant automation to 2035

IndexBox's latest outlook says the meat processing equipment market through 2035 is driven by rising protein demand and automation. Crew skills are likely to shape line choices.

  • 01For operators short on skilled labor, a line the current crew can run and maintain could pay off sooner than the one with the best spec sheet.
  • 02The retrofit-first reading fits mature plants with a large installed base; processors adding capacity for value-added products in emerging economies are more likely buying complete new lines.
