Client Message:
Excel Dryer is the manufacturer of the finest American-made, touchless hand dryers and accessories to help commercial facilities create a hygienic restroom environment. Their products created the high-speed, energy-efficient hand dryer category, redefining the public perception of hand dryers and setting a new standard for performance, reliability, and sustainability. The company's safe, hygienic hand drying solutions provide an effective way to achieve completely dry hands, the top defense against the spread of germs.
The company has recently moved to using Electrostatic HEPA Filters as an option in their XLERATOR® and XLERATOReco® dryers, and standard in their XLERATORsync® hand dryers since Electrostatic HEPA Filters allow for increased air flow with less media for more consistent performance. Additionally, Electrostatic HEPA Filters are more durable than standard glass media HEPA Filters. Their new LMS Technologies testing proved electrostatic HEPA filters remove 99.999% of viruses and 99.97% of bacteria from the air stream.
In addition, their Surface Mounted, ADA Compliant ThinAir® hand dryer is now available with Electrostatic HEPA Filtration. There are more cover and finish options now available with ThinAir, including White Painted Cover (TA-W), Graphite Textured Painted Cover (TA-GR), Special Painted Cover (TA-SP), and Custom Image Cover (TA-SI). With the option to include Electrostatic HEPA Filtration, more cover options, and adjustable speed, sound, and heat, the ThinAir Hand Dryer is the ideal ADA-Compliant solution to install in your school's restroom.
