Blasts hands dry February 1st 2008 Energy efficient and hygienic,
the Mitsubishi Jet Towel blasts
water from hands with two high
speed,wafer thin airflows that
atomise the water and collect it,
drying the hands in just 10sec.
The company's first Jet Towel
was launched in 1993 and the
version now available is the
seventh generation.The
company says that since its
earliest installations it has
proved a winner with installers,
for its high tech elegance; with
operators, for its low running
cost and reliability; and with
users for its convenience, speed,
and hygiene.
Its environmental credentials
are high as it avoids the use of
paper towels and its power
consumption is said to be a
fraction that of alternative dryers.
In use hands are placed into a
slot on the Jet Towel's upper
side and sensors automatically
start the 180mph airflow.This is
heated to a pleasant 35°C using
a low power storage heating
system for instant warmth.
Moisture is blown downwards
on both sides of the hands to
the drain, and when the dried
hands are retracted airflow stops.
The non-contact operation
saves energy as the airflow does
not continue after the user has
departed and avoids any
bacterial transfer. More articles from Mitsubishi Electric Europe: |
