The Jet Towel is completely non- contact during operation, which improves hygiene; hands are simply inserted into the drying chamber and the air jets automatically switch on. With the Generation 8, extra sensors have been added as children tend to insert their hands from the sides rather than the top.
The drying chamber is also 40% larger than on earlier models; making usage easier for everybody.
Jet Towel has always been highly regarded for its quiet operation – making it popular in sensitive locations such as school dormitories, theatres and libraries. Fawn continues: “Noise levels are down by one decibel to 58dB. This doesn’t sound like much, but is in fact quite significant as decibels are a logarithmic scale rather than linear. Amazingly, despite this the air flow is almost 25% faster, up from 80m/s to 98m/s, which improves drying time.
“You might think that drying your hands doesn’t use much energy, but you need to multiply that by the 3-10 times most people wash their hands daily – and then multiply it again by the
number of people using a busy washroom. The bottom line is that, in facilities management, hand drying is expensive unless you use a Jet Towel.”
Earlier models of Jet Towel were always noted for their frugal energy consumption - about one-tenth that of a hot air dryer - and the new unit once again redefines the standard using from only 550 watts. A technical analysis shows that 20% less air by volume is used which, when coupled with a 40% reduction in resistance at the jets, adds up to a 15% saving in energy and reduced running costs.
The cost of running Jet Towels also stacks up very favourably compared to paper towel dispensers or laundering linen towels. Used paper towels are increasingly expensive and of course go to land fill, so are not environmentally sympathetic. In contrast, since March 2011 high speed hand dryers attract tax relief under the Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme.

design is sleeker and smaller with fewer joint lines, helping speed up cleaning of the unit.
Fawn concludes: “Our designers have pulled off the impossible – improving Jet Towel. In any comparison of hand dryers, it is always the stand-out product; now it is even better.”
