Fingerprint-Proof Processing

Dirty waste bins are a turn off. Remember a time when your stainless steel bin became a canvass for unwanted fingerprints and dirt, while you have a hard time getting in terms with how unpleasant it looks.

When fingerprint-proof processing technology was introduced to stainless steel bins, consumers looked at stainless steel bins in a new light. Stainless steel bins with fingerprint-proof processing will look their best most of the time. If it does get dirty, a wipe with wet cloth makes it look brand new again.

This technology has also been used in other white goods such as washing machine and fridge, giving them a clean and industrious look. It also compliments interior easily.
Soft Closing Lids

No words can describe the frustration of having to endure the loud thud generated by your stainless steel step bin whenever the lid slams shut. Stainless steel bins are durable but they pose sound pollution problems in households and offices. We've experienced baby waking up from the sound of bin lid closing and office colleagues annoyed by the closing of waste bin lids.

Recent development in R&D enables bin manufacturers to patent their own soft closing lid technologies. They name their soft closing technology differently but they basically works the same despite varying closing time.

Bins with soft closing enables a quiet environment when using your bins. This is important for offices and households that values serenity. Soft closing technology is also used in higher end drawers to prevent it from slamming.
Stay Open Lid Lock

Step bins are great for keeping your environment looking clean and trash away from sight. Its convenient step system makes throwing your waste easier however it becomes a burden to keep stepping on it when you need the lid to stay open for a period of time especially when you are preparing ingredients or changing bin liners (plastic trash bag).

We are glad that this function has been developed to improve usability. Now you have the best of both worlds. A lid in normal operation and a stay open lid for those times when you need it.

A simple function like this can make your daily chores much easier.
Deodorizer Compartment

Throwing trash is easy but clearing out your waste is troublesome. If you have a large bin that can accommodate waste for more than 2 days, you might be worried about the odour.

There are a hand full of waste bin makers in the market today that incorporate deodorizer compartments to help combat odour. You will need to purchase your own charcoal filter which will enable you to eliminate any odour from your waste.

You may also use fragrance filters that fit into the slim deodorizer compartment.
Inner Bin & Plastic Bag Fixer

Most stainless steel bins you see in the market today especially those within the range of $6 to $15 does not come with inner bins. They work as normal waste bins but does not come with other functions.

At HippoMart.SG, our range fulfills the basic functions of a modern waste bin, and that includes having an Inner Bin. Inner bins are essential part of waste bins as they prevent leaks. You can also easily clear your trash by sliding the inner bin out of your waste bin, instead of lugging a thrash bag.

Plastic bags can also be a pain to deal with especially if you use plastic bags on a designer bin and it sticks out like an eye sore. This issue has also been rectified in modern waste bins by introducing plastic bag fixers that allows you to pull extra allowance from plastic bag into the fixer that can tighten your bag, preventing "overflowing" of plastic bag.
Sensor Bins

The next step forward with regards to hygiene is being able to operate your waste bin without physically touching it. This requirement came in from labs, clinics and mostly medical related interior space. However there is an increasing demand for sensor bins from households and commercial offices. An example will be when preparing food in the kitchen.

With increasing need for hygiene at your home and office, sensor bins are a prefect fit. No need to touch it nor step on it, you just let your hand gesture do its job. Based on already matured infra-red technology, sensor bins can detect hand movement anytime including dark places. There are other functions that comes along with sensor bins including a countdown timer and touch sensor.

Sensor bins operates via batteries and lifespan can vary depending on usage. Usually, you need 6 batteries but they can typically last few months. Motion detection sensors are also used in CCTV and energy saving facilities.
