Product Information
Full details
The Portwest EP20 Ear Plug Dispenser is designed for environments requiring easy access to hearing protection for multiple individuals. Its primary benefit is providing a hygienic and organized supply of disposable earplugs, preventing loss and ensuring availability. A potential consideration is that it requires a wall or surface for mounting, limiting placement options. This dispenser features a simple turn-wheel mechanism to dispense one pair of uncorded foam earplugs at a time and includes 500 pairs to start.

Troubleshooting
Earplugs are not dispensing
Ensure the dispenser is not empty. Check if the turn wheel is rotating freely. If not, there might be a blockage; carefully try to clear it without forcing the mechanism.
Dispenser is unstable on surface
Ensure the surface is completely flat and level. If the dispenser seems warped, check the base for any debris or damage.
Difficulty turning the wheel
The mechanism may require lubrication or cleaning. Try gently rotating the wheel back and forth. If persistent, contact the supplier for a replacement unit.
Dispenser arrived with no earplugs
Verify the product packaging and description. If the product was advertised as including earplugs and they are missing, contact the point of purchase for a resolution.
