Company

The Eco-Link system is a battery-free, mechanical chain dispensing solution that organizes multiple rolls into a single cartridge, reducing transition failures and optimizing refills. Ideal for high-traffic environments, it enhances efficiency and sustainability.

Overview

The Eco-Link Continuous Chain Dispensing System offers an innovative approach to consumable management by linking 5 to 15 rolls into a single, seamless cartridge. This mechanical solution eliminates transition failures by ensuring a continuous supply without the need for electronic components, making it highly reliable in high-traffic and humid environments. The system's design allows for quick, ammunition-style refills, significantly reducing maintenance time and labor costs. The use of a recyclable cardboard spine supports sustainability goals, aligning with eco-friendly practices.

Technical specifications
  • Mechanical operation: Utilizes a unidirectional chain mechanism with a robust ratchet for seamless advancement of consumables.
  • Efficiency: The design reduces refill time by 70% through easy cartridge swaps, enhancing janitorial productivity.
  • Sustainability: Incorporates a recyclable cardboard spine, reducing e-waste.
  • Visual monitoring: Features a color-coded strip for easy external monitoring of stock levels.
  • High-capacity design: Suitable for environments with high foot traffic, maintaining continuous availability without power needs.
Technology readiness level

The Eco-Link system is currently at a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3. Initial prototyping and engineering phases are underway, focusing on refining mechanical components and ensuring durability in high-humidity conditions. Future phases include operational pilots and industrial scaling, aiming to transition to a market-ready solution.
