Stainless Steel Xlerator Hand Dryer

The energy required to operate a dryer is approximately 10% of the cost of paper towels. The following additional costs are eliminated: ordering, storing, replenishing, collecting and disposing of paper towels.

Hand Dryers protect you from the hazards of diseases, which can be transmitted by cloth towels or paper litter.

In addition, they are easier for the handicapped to use.

Hand Dryers Protect the Environment.

A typical fast food restaurant uses 25 to 35 cases of 4,000 multi-fold paper towels annually.

The results are:
- 9 fully grown trees are cut down

- 453.6 kg of landfill waste is generated
(Paper towels can NOT be recycled)

Paper mills must cleanse the pulp with chemicals.

A single treatment is capable of polluting 90,922 litres of water.

Paper towels can be made from recycled materials but cannot be recycled.
Because the Xlerator uses specially developed technology and a unique design, it only draws 1.4 kilowatts of electricity compared to 2.3 kilowatts or higher of other conventional dryers.

When taken in conjunction with the time savings the Xlerator uses 80% less energy and is therefore 80% cheaper to run than conventional hand dryers, and some 98% cheaper than paper.

Quantity Recommendations:


One dryer for every two washbowls is sufficient for most applications.

If restroom traffic is unusually heavy, we suggest one dryer per washbowl in small installations, and two dryers for every three washbowls in larger installations.


It is well acknowledged that hand dryers are a much better option for public washrooms than paper towels. Warm air hand dryers are superior to any other hand-drying medium because they are more cost effective, more economical and more environmentally friendly.
