Learn the ABC’s of Automatic Hand Dryers for Schools
Summer is coming to an end, and school is back in session. Educators and their students have a lot on their hands and minds heading into the next school year. Public life post-COVID can be daunting, but Excel Dryer can lighten the load by helping to keep students’ hands clean as they return to full-capacity, in-person learning. So, sit back and get ready to learn as we explain the ABCs of the benefits of using hand dryers in schools hand hygiene.
A is for Automatic Sensors
The “new normal” post-coronavirus is still evolving, but one thing is for sure: hand hygiene will continue to play a crucial role. When touch can be avoided, so can germs, making touchless solutions—including toilets, sinks, and hand dryers—necessary for all elementary, middle, and high school environments. In addition to being touchless, XLERATOR® Hand Dryers with HEPA Filtration Systems remove 99.999 percent of viruses from the airstream. Now that’s hygienic.
B is for Budget Benefits
Schools aren’t just crowded areas, they are crowded areas filled with children and teenagers, which equates to both more paper towel use and more maintenance to keep restrooms clean. Paper towels are surprisingly costly when compares with hand dryers, with a life cycle that includes harvesting from trees, truck transportation, a pulping process, restroom use, and delivery to a landfill. Opting for an XLERATOR can provide a 95% cost savings over paper towels, completely eliminating the labour, maintenance, and waste associated with the latter.
C is for Customization
Want to show your school spirit? Excel Dryer offers the most cover finishes and options in the industry with Kolorfusion technology, which has been adopted by Dunkin’ Donuts, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, the New England Patriots, and many more. The zinc die-cast models can be painted with any custom colour powder coat DuPont® paint colour, while stainless steel covers can be customized with digital images and PVD coatings.
D is for Decreased Carbon Footprint
We were also the first hand dryer manufacturer to conduct a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on our products to see how long they need to operate before going in a landfill. The study determined that the XLERATOR® Hand Dryer reduces the carbon footprint of hand drying by 50%–75% when compared to traditional electric hand dryers and paper towels.
