Hand dryer best protector against germs

Contrary to what some may claim, our hand dryers actually provide clean air and even filter the entire sanitary area. They therefore do not play a role in the spread of bacteria, viruses and fungi. An important message, particularly in these troublesome times. We gladly explain why below.

To dry one's hands in a sanitary area, users can choose between hand dryers, hand wipes and towel rolls. Many different studies have been done on the efficiency of these types of products. For example, attempts were made to demonstrate that hand dryers spread viruses or bacteria faster in sanitary areas. Research has shown that this is not true.

Wet hands spread bacteria

Our Machflow and Twinflow hand dryers contain HEPA filters. These are strong filters that filter bacteria and fungi from the air. As a result, the air released by the dryer is even cleaner than when it enters the machine. And that's an important fact in these Corona times because people get infected by touching contaminated surfaces, such as towel rolls. Wet or damp hands spread many bacteria on the surfaces they touch. The advantage of hand dryers is that they are touch free. If you already have a Machflow or Twinflow hand dryer, you can purchase the HEPA filter for an even better result.

Ioniser

Some of our hand dryers also have the option of an ioniser. This is a device that ionises molecules through the application of an electrical charge ensuring a huge reduction in the number of dust particles in the air. In short, based on good arguments we are happy to advise you on the hand dryers that best fit your sanitary areas.
