Expert Review and Insights
The Jantex HZ198 doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, and that's its greatest strength. In a commercial setting, you need equipment that's dependable and intuitive. This dispenser is exactly that.

- Pros: Exceptionally easy to use and reload, making it ideal for fast-paced environments.
- Cons: The open design isn't lockable, so it's best for staff areas, not public-facing washrooms.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'Greensgate Butchery' in Birmingham needed to upgrade their hand-drying stations. Their previous method of using stacked paper towels on a counter was unhygienic and led to a lot of waste, especially during the busy weekend rush.
"We fitted three of these Jantex dispensers – one by each sink. The difference was immediate. The lads can grab a sheet with one hand, it tears off cleanly, and there's no more soggy pile of towels on the side. It’s just cleaner, quicker, and more professional."
David Williams – Head Butcher
By switching to the Jantex HZ198, the butchery reduced its paper towel waste by an estimated 20% and significantly improved its hygiene workflow.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Choose a smooth, flat wall surface for a secure fit.
- Mount it at a comfortable height for all staff, typically near a handwash sink.
- Use wall plugs appropriate for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick) to ensure the unit is safely secured.
- Position it away from direct heat sources or areas where it might be frequently knocked.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the dispenser down regularly with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner to maintain hygiene.
- To reload, simply place a new centre feed roll inside, find the start of the paper in the middle, and thread it through the opening.
- Regularly check that the mounting screws are tight and secure.
- Only use centre feed rolls of the correct size (up to 220mm wide) for smooth operation.

Explore more from JantexWhy the Centre-Pull System Simplifies Hygiene
Ever wondered why a centre pull towel dispenser is so popular in professional settings? It’s all about a clever, simple design. Instead of the roll unwinding from the outside, you pull the paper from the very middle of the roll. This 'de-coring' method feeds the paper down through the dispenser's opening. Because the paper is pulled from the centre, it naturally separates into single sheets at the perforation as you pull.
Think of it like pulling a single tissue from a box, rather than trying to tear a sheet from a tightly wound kitchen roll. The Jantex dispenser's serrated edge then provides a clean break, ensuring you only touch the sheet you're taking. This simple mechanism is fantastic for hygiene as it minimises contact with the dispenser unit and dramatically reduces the risk of paper unravelling all over the floor, which means less waste and a tidier, safer workspace.
