ARCH Valadares brought sustainability and innovation to ISH in Frankfurt
ARCH Valadares participated in ISH, from March 14 to 18, the largest world fair for sanitary ceramics, construction and renewable energy technologies.
Held in Frankfurt, Germany, the participating companies presented their latest ecological bets on innovation and development.
ARCH Rimless System
On the way to a more sustainable future, ARCH Valadares presented at the event the new Rimless solution – drainage / cleaning system of the basins (characterized by the elimination of the rim / drainage channel of the basins), similar to those already on the market but with a level of performance that allows 100% cleaning of the surface.
The Rimless system has the unique advantage of allowing full access to the water flow zone inside the basin, ensuring the most complete cleaning and hygiene of the sanitary appliance. This solution, required by the market in recent years, represents a challenge in terms of managing the flow of water inside the basin, which normally does not ensure complete cleaning and tends to cause water projection towards the outside of the bowl.
In fact, it is common to see that Rimless systems either do not meet the splash test requirement or, if they do, they do not completely clean the internal surface. It is common to see advertising designations such as “we ensure 95% of the area is clean”.
Thus, the challenge corresponded to the design of a solution that would guarantee thorough cleaning and elimination of splashes through the creation of a complete ceramic bowl, a material that ARCH has mastered as only a handful have done before and that ensures maximum resistance and durability.
Thus, ARCH, taking advantage of its long experience in the design of toilets, implemented a solution apparently the same as others that already exist, but which in detail presents three fundamental differences:
– 100% cleaning, fully complying with the European standard;
– Total absence of splashes;
– Total absence of splashes;
Highflush System
The Highflush lushing system was also presented, an innovative solution that is distinguished by better performance, new installation possibilities and greater convenience.
The Highflush flushing system, consisting of a control unit, a solenoid valve and a supply unit, was developed with the purpose of, with a single solution, being able to cover various types of sanitary facilities, such as overhead toilets, BTW, public facilities or people with reduced mobility.
The control unit is part of the control board and controls the opening time of the solenoid valve. The activation is done by touch or by approximation (depending on the selected parameterization) of a finger in the central part of the control board. If the touch or the touch of the finger is instantaneous, we will have a short-term discharge. If the touch or approach time is prolonged (about 3 seconds), we will have a greater discharge.
System features:
– Control board cleaning mode. This feature allows you to disable the system for cleaning;
– Whole discharge (4L) and half discharge (2L); –
Parameterization of the discharge time according to the supply conditions of the water supply network;
- – Possibility to parameterize the approach distance for activation;
- – Dispenses tank / water reservoir, reducing noise of use;
- – Estimated consumption savings of 15%.
