Efficient drying on hand

The environmentally friendly, hygienic and cost effective range of four high-speed hand driers from Biodrier is now available throughout the UK. This follows 18 months of extensive trials in public sector buildings, schools, offices, factories, retail and busy airports.

The range combines high levels of energy efficiency, personal hygiene and fast hand drying with what is claimed to be the lowest cost-in-use of any hand drying system.

Biodriers are said to achieve 90% more power efficiency than traditional hand driers by using heat from their motors to warm air and blowing it through ducts to heat it.

The company calculates that Biodrier, used 200 times a day, typically costs £20.56 per annum in energy. It says this compares with £251.53 for a conventional hand drier - a saving of 1380kW at £0.1994 per kW.
