Consider using the newest developments in hand dryer technology

Though electric hand dryers have had few developments in the decades they have been used, there have been some interesting recent additions to the mix. One of the main developments are high velocity dryers. These automatic hand dryers use a powerful blast of air to dry hands quicker and more efficiently, eliminating the need for that last ditch hand wiping while using less energy for added cost efficiency.

I recommend: Allied Hand Dryer offers several styles of the Xlerator Excel Dryer, a popular new high velocity dryer. American Dryer spotlights the EXTREMEAIR® Hand Dryer, another competitive style of high velocity dryer.
