Stainless Steel Washroom Hand Dryers

Hand drying is just as important as handwashing to prevent the spread of bacteria. Wet hands can spread germs so providing high quality, robust hand drying facilities is very important. High quality modern hand dryers that dry hands fast are essential to keep the flow of traffic moving through your washroom and reduce queues.

Key Features to Consider

When choosing the right hand dryer for your washroom, it’s important to consider several key features to ensure you meet the needs of your business and users:

Drying Speed

Drying speed top priority, especially in high traffic areas where fast drying times help keep queues to a minimum. High speed hand dryers can dry hands in as little as 10-15 seconds, making them ideal for busy environments such as airports, shopping centres, and schools.

Noise Level

Noise level is another important factor. While high speed hand dryers offer rapid drying, they can sometimes be louder than traditional hand dryers. For quieter environments such as offices, libraries or schools, quiet hand dryers are designed to operate with minimal noise, providing an effective yet unobtrusive hand drying solution.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency also crucial for businesses looking to reduce operational costs and environmental impact. Modern hand dryers are engineered to use less energy while still delivering powerful performance, helping you save on electricity without compromising on drying speed.

Your Budget

At Dudley Industries, we manufacture a range of hand dryers to suit your budget, from traditional warm air dryers, to more-advanced recessed and lacquered finger-print resistant models.

By weighing up these key features, you can select the right hand dryer to suit your washroom’s requirements and provide a hygienic, efficient hand drying experience for all users.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do washroom hand dryers work?

Washroom hand dryers use an electric motor to blow air through heating elements or directly as cool air. This airflow removes moisture from the hands quickly and efficiently. Most modern hand dryers are sensor activated, meaning they start automatically when hands are placed beneath them, ensuring a touchless and hygienic drying experience

Are hand dryers hygienic compared to paper towels?

The most important step for hygiene is thorough handwashing – once hands are clean, both dryers and paper towels provide a hygienic way to dry them. Modern hand dryers operate automatically, so there’s no need to touch surfaces, helping to reduce the chance of cross-contamination. Paper towels are also effective but create ongoing waste and require regular restocking, whereas dryers provide a low-maintenance, sustainable option.

How energy efficient are modern hand dryers?

Most modern hand dryers are designed for low energy consumption while maintaining fast drying speeds. This results in cost savings on electricity bills and a reduced environmental impact compared to paper towels, which require energy for both production and disposal.

What maintenance do electric hand dryers require?

Hand dryers require minimal maintenance, mainly cleaning the air vents to prevent dust buildup and replacing filters and brushes when applicable. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of the unit.

How do I choose the right hand dryer for my washroom?

Consider factors such as drying speed, noise level, energy efficiency, budget and the environment in which the dryer will be used. High traffic areas benefit from high speed hand dryers, while quieter models suit offices or libraries. Energy efficient models help reduce operational costs and environmental impact.
