Airblade hygiene

A Clean Experience

Clean Air

High Efficiency Particulate Air “HEPA” removes 99.9% of bacteria from the air used to dry hands.

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is the first and only hand dryer to clean the air used to dry hands. The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer comes equipped with over 930 square inches of HEPA filtration medium. The filter specified removes 99.9% of bacteria, and 99.97% of particulates. In addition, the HEPA filter is impregnated with a silver-ion based antimicrobial coating.

Antimicrobial Protection

Dyson has teamed up with BioCote®, a leading international brand in antimicrobial solutions, to incorporate their innovative silver antimicrobial technology directly into the surfaces of the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer.

How does it work?

Silver-based antimicrobial additives to protect the product are integrated into the powder coating at the time of manufacture, creating a concentration of silver ions on every surface of the machine. When bacteria come into contact with the protected casing, the silver binds within the bacteria and causes their enzymes to breakdown. The enzymes cannot therefore produce energy, stopping the bacteria from multiplying and causing them to die.

The surface protection has undergone extensive testing by an independent laboratory to show its ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria on its surfaces by up to 99.9% over a 24-hour period, in comparison to unprotected hand dryers which can proliferate at drastic rates.

Touch-Free Operation

Some other hand dryers have start and stop buttons that can be covered with bacteria.

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer utilizes four infrared sensors to control when the machine starts and stops when users insert and remove their hands, so there’s no need to touch anything.

Game Changing Hygiene

Wet to Dry in just 12 Seconds... at 400 mph

12 seconds

The Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer creates a high speed sheet of air, which literally scrapes hands dry. Incoming air is forced through an aperture the width of an eyelash at 640km/hr (or 400mph). The end result, unwanted moisture is wiped from hands to leave them dry in just 12 seconds.

Cool Air, Not Hot

Conventional warm air hand dryers use 60+ year old, inefficient technology that relies on evaporation to dry hands.

Hygiene Quick Facts

Dyson engineers spent three years developing, testing and refining the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer.

Speed of drying

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer takes just 12 seconds or less to dry hands, compared with other hand dryers which can take up to 27 seconds.

Touch-Free Operation

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer starts and stops when users insert and remove their hands, so there’s no need to touch anything.

Dirty air in, clean air out

HEPA filter removes over 99.9% of bacteria from the air used to dry hands. Antimicrobial additives are integrated into surfaces to protect the product.

No hand rubbing

Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer eliminates the need for users to rub their hands together, so bacteria in lower skin layers don't move to the surfaces. It’s just easier.

Hygiene Endorsements

If a hand dryer doesn't have this logo in it, it's not certified hygienic by NSF. NSF International, leading independent public health specialists, agrees that the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer is the only hygienic hand dryer and the first to meet NSF protocol P335.

NSF

NSF Certification

NSF International, The Public Health and Safety Company™, has recently released Protocol P335, for Hygienic Commercial Hand Dryers. Following an extensive protocol development and testing process, NSF was pleased to announce that Dyson, Ltd. was the first and only manufacturer to receive NSF Certification to P335 for its Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer.

The protocol sets out the standards a hand dryer must meet to be considered hygienic. The criteria for a hygienic hand dryer include:

Air filtration – dust and bacteria must be removed from the air used to dry hands

Unheated air – the air used shouldn’t be heated up. Warming moist bacteria can increase their reproduction rate. Warm or hot air can remove beneficial oils from the skin.

Drying time – hands must be dried in 15 seconds or under.

Touch free operation – the hand dryer must start and stop automatically.

Only the Dyson Airblade™ hand dryer meets all the standards sets out for a hygienic hand dryer.
