by Shane Henson — April 1, 2013—SAVORTEX, a British manufacturer of eco-friendly hand-drying products for the global washroom sector, has launched a new addition to its Vortex EcoSmart Range: the Vortex 540 Diamond White hand dryer.
According to SAVORTEX, the antibacterial gloss-finished product, which is also available in metallic grey, boasts significant improvements to its established low-energy and sustainable power hand-drying range. This is set to change the way in which hand dryers are selected for washrooms due to its patented energy recovery technique and low lifecycle operating costs.
The Vortex Diamond White dries hands in seconds and boasts unique digital “brushless” bypass motor technology with a patented energy recovery system, which the company explains means they are super low energy, through smart air-flow movement, when compared to the similar power hand dryers that are available.
The Vortex motor runs at just 19,200 revolutions per minute, creating output air speed of 30 L/s per second and maximizing the energy efficiency of the motor without compromising performance, the company adds.
SAVORTEX holds the Guinness World Records title for most hands dried using 30kJ of energy. The Vortex EcoSmart successfully dried four pairs of hands using less than 30kJ of energy. Typically, hand dryers use between 72kJ and 96kJ of power to dry just one pair of hands, the company says.
