Dyson Introduces New Hand Dryer to Quickly Dry Hands and Filter 99.97% of Bacteria

When going to public toilets, people often clean their hands after using the toilet, but one thing that people often overlook is that washing and drying hands are just as important. Last year, the University of Connecticut found in a study that hand dryers placed in public toilets are likely to be a breeding ground for bacteria and become a new health and safety hazard.

To solve this problem, Dyson introduced a new Airblade 9kJ contactless hand dryer, this hand dryer is more like a commercial version of DysonAirblade Wash + Dry hand dryer. The highlight is that not only can the hand dry quickly in 10 seconds, but also the built-in HEPA filter can filter 99.97% of bacteria and virus particles in the air.

On the one hand, with the help of Airblade 9kJ, some places with a large passenger volume can effectively reduce the user's stay time in the bathroom and facilitate the management of human flow during peak hours. On the other hand, Airblade 9kJ can also ensure that the hand dryer used by customers blows clean air instead of dirty air, so that bacteria in the air will no longer spread around. At the same time, this design and function merged hand dryer can also help these spaces create a better customer experience and implement the vision of sustainable development.

It is understood that the Dyson Airblade 9kJ hand dryer provides two operating modes, Max and Eco. The Max mode is mainly targeted at airports or large public places (such as stadiums, shopping malls, etc.). The Eco mode is more suitable for such scenarios as offices and restaurants. It reduces the energy consumption and noise to provide customers with a more peaceful experience. In addition, in Eco mode, the Airblade 9kJ has reduced by as much as 86% compared to the previous energy consumption of the hand dryer. Compared with the paper towel wipe method, its carbon dioxide emissions have been reduced by as much as 85% (the carbon dioxide caused by electricity and steam during the papermaking process), and the annual operating cost is only about $ 19.

Dake's chief engineer Jake Dyson said in a press release: "From acoustics to design, everything has been reconsidered to provide the best performance without affecting the user's experience and hygiene needs."
