Product Overview
The EP20BKR Ear Plug Dispenser provides a centralized and hygienic solution for hearing protection in high-traffic industrial settings. Managing the safety requirements of a large workforce can be a logistical headache, but this substantial unit simplifies the process by housing and dispensing 500 pairs of uncorded foam earplugs. Designed for ease of use, a simple turn of the mechanism releases a single pair of plugs, ensuring your team has immediate access to PPE without the need for individual packaging clutter.
Key Features
- Gentle Turn Mechanism: A user-friendly rotary system ensures that earplugs are dispensed reliably and one pair at a time, reducing waste and frustration in the workplace.
- High-Capacity Storage: Supplied with 500 pairs of uncorded PU earplugs, this unit provides a long-lasting supply that reduces the frequency of restocking duties.
- Versatile Mounting Options: The dispenser can be placed on a horizontal surface or mounted directly to a wall, allowing you to position it exactly where it is needed most, such as at entry points to high-noise zones.
- Durable Plastic Construction: The housing is built from sturdy plastic to withstand the rigours of a busy workshop or factory floor.
Design & Performance
The dispenser is crafted from robust, easy-to-clean plastic, creating a professional and orderly appearance for your safety equipment station. The internal mechanism is designed for longevity, resisting the wear and tear of daily operation. The included earplugs are manufactured from soft, uncorded PU foam. This material is chosen for its ability to expand gently within the ear canal, providing a snug and comfortable fit that effectively attenuates industrial noise. While the unit itself is a substantial, sturdy piece of equipment, the individual plugs remain lightweight and non-intrusive for the wearer.
Why No Customisation?
As a piece of technical safety hardware, the Ear Plug Dispenser is designed for utility and compliance. The plastic surface and functional components are not suited for standard embroidery or print processes. Furthermore, safety equipment of this nature is best kept in its original form to ensure that visibility and usage instructions remain clear and unobstructed for all staff members.
Use Cases
This system is an essential addition to any environment where noise levels exceed safe thresholds. It is particularly well-suited for construction sites, automotive garages, and aviation hangars. Professionals such as electricians, welders, and carpenters who move between different noise zones will find the central location of a dispenser far more convenient than carrying loose packets of earplugs in their pockets.

Practical Advice
When installing the dispenser, we recommend mounting it at eye level near the main entrance of a noise-controlled area. This serves as a visual reminder for staff to apply their hearing protection before they begin work. For desk-mounted units, ensure they are placed on a stable, level surface to prevent the unit from shifting during operation.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and hygiene of your dispenser, it should be kept in a clean, dry environment. Dust and debris can interfere with the internal mechanism, so we recommend wiping the exterior of the plastic housing with a damp cloth and mild detergent periodically. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic over time.
The included PU foam earplugs are strictly single-use items. Attempting to wash or reuse them will compromise the material's ability to expand correctly, which in turn reduces their effectiveness at blocking noise. Always ensure that users have clean hands when retrieving plugs from the dispenser tray to maintain the hygiene of the remaining stock.
