William Gagnon, vice president of Marketing at Excel Dryer, commented:
Our new expanded and enhanced product line enables building owners and managers to design the best hand drying solution for any restroom environment. As the creator of the high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryer category, we have a reputation of providing the most innovative hand dryer solutions that save time, money and the environment. All types of commercial facilities have adopted high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryer technology — from large venues such as stadiums, arenas and convention centers, to mom-and-pop stores, hotels and restaurants, and many government buildings.”
Success stories
For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) retrofitted its DC-based complex with XLERATOR Hand Dryers that eliminate 12 tons of paper towel waste annually, reducing environmental impact and saving the facility $30,000 a year in dumpster fees alone, says Excel Dryer.
Like the USDA, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) also made the switch from paper towels to high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryers. Adam Klauber, sustainability manager for the department’s Boston-based Volpe Center facility expanded on the benefits of replacing paper towels. He said, “We started to think about all the other benefits like eliminating the nuisance of discarded paper towels and all the labor involved with ordering, restocking and distributing them throughout the center.”
In addition to offering a significant cost and environmental savings, high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryers helped Klauber reduce the labor, maintenance and waste of paper towels. To that end, Gagnon said, “XLERATOR hand dryers are not only energy-efficient, they also help building owners and managers be more efficient with their time — a winning proposition for any facility.”
