Jet Towel hand dryer resets the standards for energy efficiency


The revolution in hand drying has cranked up a gear, with the launch of a new model of Mitsubishi Electric’s Jet Towel - the original high speed, low energy dryer.


The 8th generation of the Mitsubishi Jet Towel - the first hand dryer to use high-speed air jets to hygienically dry hands rather than classic, bacteria-harvesting, hot air dryers - is easier and quicker to use; offering extremely high energy efficiency, improved hygiene and an extremely compact footprint. It is available in a choice of three colours – silver, white and black.


While high-speed air jet dryers are relatively new introduction to the Western market, the technology has been popular in Asia for 20 years. Throughout this time the Mitsubishi Jet

Towel has been at the forefront of technological developments.


Fawn Litchfield, Mitsubishi’s UK Sales and Marketing Executive for Jet Towel, explains: “Unlike a conventional hand dryer, Jet Towel does not use hot air to evaporate moisture from just-washed hands. Instead, it uses a high speed jet of air to blow it off. Hot air dryers can act as incubator-distributors for bacteria while Jet Towel drives the moisture and any germs down into a drain, so is fundamentally hygienic. Additionally it is made with an anti- microbial material on all its major areas.


“Perhaps most significant is that Jet Towel takes from only nine seconds to completely dry hands, whereas hot air dryers take so long that most people walk off with still damp, germy hands.”


The most obvious change with the new model is that it is notably more compact; 165mm (6.8inches) shorter than the previous Jet Towel. This makes it easier to mount on the wall, and is likely to open up more positioning options in many washrooms. In some cases it can be mounted lower, making it easier to use and more child-friendly.
