The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer works in just 12 seconds. It uses sheets of clean air traveling at 400mph to literally scrape water from your hands like a windshield wiper. It’s efficient too, using up to 80% less energy than a warm air hand dryer. The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is hygienic, too. It includes a HEPA filter to capture and eliminate over 99.9% of bacteria from the air used to dry hands. It's the only hand dryer that's certified hygienic by independent public health specialist NSF International.
The problem with other hand dryers.
Warm air hand dryers are too slow – some take as long as 27 seconds to work. It’s because of their motors. They only create enough airflow to remove just a little of the water from your hands, while slowly evaporating the rest. And they can’t filter bacteria from washroom air before it reaches your hands, which is unhygienic.
The problem with paper towels
Paper towels are expensive to buy, re-stock and dispose of – and they generate landfill. For the cost of just one paper towel, the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer can dry up to 22 pairs of hands. That means immediate savings, and it can help to reduce your organization’s carbon footprint.
Calculations based on average paper towel cost of $0.01 and an electricity charge of $0.0967 per kWh.
How it works
1. Dirty washroom air is sucked in by the Dyson digital motor.
2. It passes through a HEPA filter, removing over 99.9% of the bacteria from the air used to dry your hands.
3. The clean air passes over the electronics, cooling them.
4. The air reaches the motor, which channels it up and through the machine.
5. Air passes into the air ducts, which are insulated to reduce noise.
6. It's then forced through 2 apertures - creating sheets of air traveling at 400 mph, literally scraping water pain free from the hands.
