Dyson Sustainability Showcase

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer literally scrapes water from hands in just 10 seconds using a high-velocity sheet of air. It is the fastest hand dryer, and it cleans the air before blowing it onto hands, so it is also hygienic. It uses up to 80% less energy than warm air hand dryers, so it costs less to run and can help lower a business’s carbon footprint, too.

James Dyson launched the first Dyson vacuum cleaner, the DCO1, in 1993. It quickly became a household name. Today, Dyson vacuum cleaners are market leaders in the UK and Europe. Dyson’s team of engineers is synonymous with making new and better technology. In the past 5 years, Dyson has quadrupled its research and development investment.

The benefits of the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer can help a business reduce its carbon footprint and cut down on waste to landfill.

• Save on energy costs
Other hand dryers are too slow. Some take as long as 44 seconds to dry hands, consuming electricity all the while. There is an energy-hungry heating element to power, too. The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer works in just 10 seconds and uses unheated air to dry hands. Intelligent infra-red sensors mean it starts and stops automatically. And the Dyson digital motor consumes only 1,600W of energy. As a result, the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer uses up to 80% less electricity than warm air hand dryers.
• Reduce carbon footprint

Paper towels are expensive to buy, re-stock and dispose of, and they generate landfill. In fact, for the cost of a single paper towel, the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer can dry 19 pairs of hands*. By changing to the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer, a business can make immediate savings and significantly reduce its carbon footprint. Find out how much with Dyson’s online carbon and cost calculator.

Composition and manufacture

• Dyson digital motor
Designed by Dyson engineers, the Dyson digital motor works very differently to conventional, brushed motors. It uses digital pulse technology, spinning 88,000 times a minute. This is fast enough to suck in 37 litres of washroom air through a hospital grade HEPA filter every second.
• Airblade™ technology

Air is forced through two continuous apertures the width of an eyelash. Airblade™ technology is not found in any other hand dryer. Thanks to the Dyson digital motor and Airblade™ technology, the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer works in just 10 seconds, with 400mph sheets of air literally scraping hands dry.

Sitework

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer can be installed by either an independent electrical engineer, or by a Dyson engineer. A 5 year/350,000 uses guarantee for parts and a 1 year guarantee for labour is supplied as standard.
