The old expression says, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!’ A lot of facilities managers take this approach to their automatic hand dryers. It works, it dries my hands, what’s the problem? The problem is that 10-year-old noisy hand dryer could be up to three times less efficient than a modern one.
As technology improves, be it cars, phone, computers or even hand dryers, they become increasingly more compact, efficient and powerful. Modern hand dryers are designed with a cool setting for eco-conscious companies to reduce their carbon footprint, a low energy hand dryer could be beneficial for your business too.
The Hygiene Benefits Of Automatic Hand Dryers
As well as the reduced running cost in operating a new model dryer, there is also the added hygiene benefit. Hands which dry more quickly are more likely to be completely dry when leaving the restroom meaning that any residual germ spread is minimised as germs spreads more slowly to other surfaces from dry hands. In addition to this, newer “automatic” hand dryers are operated via a sensor, rather than a button. This minimises the amount of contact required and therefore the number of germs spread. In a post-Covid world, staff and visitors to your premises are looking for a more hygienic option.
Residual Benefits
Modern hand dryers are more reliable, require maintenance less often and are designed to be used constantly. Visitors will form opinions on your company and on your standards based upon the cleanliness, modernity and efficiency of your rest rooms. New hand dryers use significantly less energy. Create the right impression by installing quality hand drying solutions for your brand and your business.
Hygiene Costs Less
Installing an eco-friendly dryer in your restroom costs your business less money. Because they can be altered to reduce power output, you can be more energy-conscious and more budget-conscious with your facilities purchases. Look for low energy dryers with an output of less than 1000W and a drying time of 15 seconds or less. The Eco from Tekflo® is a compact, rapid, efficient automatic hand dryer which can reduce hand drying costs by up to 80%. It operates from only 450W of electricity, drying hands in just 9 seconds.
