  • Good For The Environment - Converting to Excel Hand Dryers is a great source reduction alternative. Many businesses and institutions are required by law to reduce non-recyclable waste.
  • GreenSpec Listed- The XLERATOR hand dryer is the first hand dryer to receive GreenSpec® approval.
  • Promotes Hygiene - The use of hand dryers allows washrooms to stay cleaner and more sanitary. Picking up and disposing of bacteria-laden paper towel waste is one of the custodians' least favorite tasks.
  • Labor Savings - Hand dryers are virtually maintenance free, except for a recommended annual cleaning. Paper towels, by comparison, require an hour of maintenance for each case of towels used.
  • Reduced Vandalism - Hand dryers eliminate the vandalism that is often present with paper towels. Towels clog toilets and sinks, can be set aflame, and are thrown, wet, onto walls and floors.
  • Always Ready For Use - Hand dryers are ready to be used 24 hours a day. Say goodbye to customer complaints about empty or non-functioning paper towel dispensers.
  • Best Warranty - Excel Dryers offer the best warranty in the industry, including a 10-year unlimited warranty on our "Hands On®" models (see specifications for details).
  • Easy Access For The Disabled - Dryers are easily positioned at recommeded heights for use by the physically challenged.

QUANTITY RECOMMENDATIONS

One dryer for every two washbasins is sufficient for most applications. If restroom traffic is unusually heavy, we suggest one dryer per washbasin in small installations and two dryers for every three washbasins in larger installations. When a 54" washfountain is used, we suggest four to five dryers.
