Researching and developing new technology that works better is the core of Dyson. One quarter of Dyson people are engineers and scientists who design, develop and engineer new technology, as well as challenge and develop existing technologies.

Conventional hand dryers consume a lot of energy and take an eternity to dry hands.

Frustrated by this Dyson engineers developed The Dyson Airblade which dries hands completely in just ten seconds. It's more than twice as fast as conventional hand dryers, hygienic, energy efficient and cost effective. It's tough and has been put through its paces to make sure it can withstand the toughest washroom environment.

Because it's fast, hygienic and efficient it's the perfect hand dryer for a range of businesses, from restaurants and catering groups, healthcare companies and public washrooms.

The Dyson Airblade is currently being trialed in hospitals, restaurants, petrol service stations and other public places. Due to such a successful trial at Moto service stations Dyson Airblade has now been installed into the M1 Toddington Moto Service station.

Energy efficient and cost effective:

Dyson Airblade is powered by Dyson's long-life, low energy Digital Motor and uses up to 83 per cent less energy compared with conventional hand dryers.

The average UK washroom uses 200 paper towels per day, this costs £951 more to run each year than a washroom with the Dyson Airblade. That's a 99% saving per washroom per year. So it costs less and it's better for the environment too.

Fast: Conventional hand dryers either don't work or simply take too long.

In fact most people give up waiting and wipe damp hands on clothes.

The Dyson Digital Motor (DDM) produces an air stream flowing at 400mph. This unheated air is channeled through a 0.3 millimetre gap, no thicker than an eyelash.

A sheet of air acts like an invisible windscreen wiper to wipe moisture from hands leaving them completely dry in just ten seconds.

Hygiene:

In catering or medical companies, where hand hygiene is vital, the Dyson Airblade offers the only hygienic hand drying solution.The Dyson Airblade removes bacteria and mould from the air using HEPA filtration.Waste water is passed through an iodine resin filter to disinfect it. And then Piezo crystal technology releases the sterilized water as a harmless invisible mist.

Medirest, the UK's leading provider of quality hotel, catering, cleaning and housekeeping, portering and security services to the National Health Service, private hospitals and residential care homes has been trialling the Dyson Airblade.

The Dyson Airblade is available to buy in the UK £599 (excluding VAT) and Ireland for 869 Euros (excluding VAT). Machines can be leased directly from Dyson too.
