The CWS Air Hand Dryer Universal is ideal for busy washrooms where reliability, hygiene, and efficiency are important. Proper hand drying is an important step in the hand hygiene process, because wet hands can spread up to 1000 times more bacteria than dry hands. With this air dryer, hands are quickly dried without the need to touch the device, meaning hygienically dry hands.
Equipped with a HEPA 13 filter and durable steel housing, the commercial air hand dryer delivers a hygienic airflow and a professional look that fits well in a variety of environments and matches the other CWS Hygiene dispensers. Adjustable options allow you to tailor speed, comfort, energy consumption, and noise levels to your environment.
