World Dryer Raises the Bar on Automatic Hand Dryers with the Release of SMARTdri Plus
Berkeley, Ill.— World Dryer Corporation, a leading manufacturer of electric hand dryers, today announced it has expanded its lineup of energy-efficient automatic hand dryers with the launch of SMARTdri Plus, which will be generally available after September 1, 2012. SMARTdri Plus combines all the advanced features of World Dryer’s high-efficiency hand dryers with the addition of a high-velocity air stream sent from a single-port nozzle. Consuming only 1200 Watts, SMARTdri Plus is designed for high-use facilities where noticeably faster, complete drying time is a benefit. The newest addition to the company’s elite lineup of fully automatic high-speed hand dryers is in response to the market demand for facilities seeking to use less energy and reduce costs.
“SMARTdri Plus was designed specifically to satisfy customers wanting a focused high intensity drying experience,” said Dan Storto, vice president of sales and marketing for World Dryer. “The addition of SMARTdri Plus gives us a full line of premier hand dryers, making it possible to offer customers a large range of options that satisfy the features they want in a hand dryer.”
Key benefits and features of SMARTdri Plus include:
• Intelligent on/off heating and 3-speed motor controls optimize energy efficiency and user comfort
• 10 second drying time, 3X speed of traditional hand dryers
• Uses 40% less energy than competitive high speed hand dryers and only 12% energy of traditional dryers
• 2X-3X longer service life than other competitive high-speed dryers
• High intensity single-port nozzle
• Most powerful combination of air velocity and air flow of any high-speed hand dryer
• SteriTouch technology that reduces the growth of bacteria, mold and fungus while promoting good hand hygiene
• Best in class IP24 ingress protection
• A contemporary design that is available in multiple finishes, coordinating with the look and style of any public restroom
Hygiene concerns are also a market consideration. SMARTdri Plus reduces such concerns because it is fully automatic, touchless and incorporates anti-microbial technology. SMARTdri Plus is optimal for use in schools, restaurants, commercial buildings and other high traffic areas where there is a need to reduce waste and energy consumption.
SMARTdri Plus is a strong addition to World Dryer’s SMARTdri™ Series high-speed hand dryers that are the most energy efficient, durable, hygienic hand dryers on the market today. The SMARTdri series is designed with a proprietary motor technology that offers the longest service life of any high-speed hand dryer and intelligent, flexible controls that allow for the customizing of air flow, sound quality and heating options to fit any application.
