American Dryer UK has developed a new “germ destroying” hand dryer that is proven to actively kill germs such as e.coli, staph, C.diff, MRSA and salmonella with a 99.6% success rate.
The company’s Cold Plasma Clean (CPC) technology will be debuted in its high-speed eXtremeAir model. The new system features a generator that converts air into cold plasma through a bipolar ionisation process. The generator splits water molecules in the air into oppositely charged hydrogen and oxygen ions, which are used to clean the air without the need for chemicals.
Its low running costs, environmental benefits and proven results on killing common germs “are set to have a significant impact on hygiene levels across the food processing sector, replacing less effective hand drying solutions which contribute heavily towards contamination,” the manufacturer claimed.
Andrew Cameron, of American Dryer UK comments: “We are delighted to be able to bring cPc® technology to the UK with the launch of eXtremeAir CPC. We know that decision makers have examined the paper towels verse dryers debate for years and this technology has enabled us to provide a real game-changer for the industry. Our cPc® technology takes hand dryers from hygienic to ‘germ destroying’ and we all know hand towels cannot be recycled, in turn consuming precious resources and using excessive landfill space, so the debate becomes almost irrelevant. “It’s an exciting time for the hand drying industry in the UK and we are looking forward to receive feedback on this innovative product.”
